| Old Text: | This is by far the most common virus to affect aquarium fish. Though it appears in both fresh and salt water tanks, it is much more common in salt and infects certain types of fish (especially angelfish and butterflyfish) more than others. Lympho is rarely fatal unless it is transmitted to internal regions, normally via the gills. Because it cannot be treated and since it is often introduced through damaged areas on the host, it is best to disturb afflicted specimens as little as possible outside from quarantining them. The disease will run its course with a much lower chance of spreading to other fish. Though there are many species of Lymphocystivirus, each one is capable of infecting only certain species of fish and those that are closely related. -----------
