Infectious Salmon Anemia - "Cover Up"
From the Seattle Times (2011-11-29):
"A
decade before this fall's salmon-virus scare, a Canadian government
researcher said she found a similar virus in more than 100 wild fish
from Alaska to Vancouver Island.
Canadian officials never told the
public or scientists in the United States about those tests — not even
after evidence of the virus discovered in October was treated as an
international emergency, according to documents and emails obtained . . ."
