Michoacán, Sinaloa, Tabasco and Veracruz. TiLV is a virus that poses a significant health threat worldwide to Nile tilapia, <em><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Oreochromis niloticus</span></em> and hybrid tilapia (<em><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>O. niloticus </span></em>x<em><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'> O. aureus</span></em>). Fifteen other countries currently report TiLV as being present: Ecuador, Egypt, Israel, Colombia, Malaysia, Mozambique, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Uganda, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Peru, and Tanzania.<br><br>TiLV affects fingerling tilapia with reported death rates in affected populations as high as 90%. Older animals may have a lower mortality rate. Handling stress (i.e., moving fish between ponds) appears to be a significant risk factor for outbreaks. The virus survives in both fresh and brackish water. Direct fish to fish transmission is an important route of infection. There is no information on vertical transmission (parent to offspring).<br><br>TiLV mainly affects tilapia eyes, brain and liver.</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#505050'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#505050;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Eyes may be cloudy, bulging or shrunken,</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#505050;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Skin lesions may be present,</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#505050;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:150%;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Fish may be slow-moving and off feed.</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'> <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#505050'>TiLV does not affect humans.<br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>What Should I Do?</span></strong><br><u>If you are a U.S. tilapia producer or grower:</u><br>Know your source of animals.
