In a first, deadly disease diagnosed in B.C. salmon quoting : Times Colonist

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the virus affects up to 80 per cent of farmed salmon in B.C. PRV is highly contagious, and some scientists have argued it can spread from Atlantic salmon in open-net pen farms to wild salmon that swim past. A deadly disease has been diagnosed in B.C. Pacific wild salmon have tested positive for the virus, but its prevalence in that population is unknown. Independent fish biologist Alexandra Morton said that while farmed fish can recover from HSMI fairly easily, the virus would put wild salmon at risk.




A DEVASTATING disease that kills newborn babies is making a re-emergence as a result of the anti-vaccination movement. "She said it can't be vitamin K deficiency, and I said 'I'm sorry but the tests show the baby is deficient'," Dr Ingall says. Newborn haemorrhagic disease, which is caused by a deficiency in vitamin K, has killed six babies in the past two decades, including one in 2013 and another in 2012. Dr Ingall said once a week he had to try to convince new parents to give the vitamin K shot because they had wrongly been told it was dangerous. The disease used to kill about 15 newborn babies a year in NSW in the late 1960s and early 1970s before routine vitamin K injections for ­newborns reduced the incidence to near zero.
