Seasonal Mortality of Wild Atlantic Menhaden (<i>Brevoortia tyrannus</i>) Is Caused by a Virulent Clone of <i>Vibrio (Listonella) anguillarum</i>; Implications for Biosecurity along the Atlantic Coastal United States

<div>SDS-PAGE analysis of proteinase K-digested whole-cell lysates visualized by Western blotting using antiserum raised against serotype 01 (panel (a)), serotype 02b (panel (b)), serotype 02a (panel (c)), or menhaden strain Va210524B (panel (d)). Lanes: 1, NB10 (serotype 01); 2, RV22 (serotype 02b); 3, KBB#3 (serotype 02a); 4, Va210524B (menhaden strain); 5, ATCC 3,631,561 (serotype O3). Note that the menhaden isolate produced a proteinase K-resistant antigen (arrow), which is absent in the serotype O3-type strain. LPS was normalized to culture optical density.</div>
