Three aquareovirus strains isolated from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), geoduck clams (Panope abrupta) and herring (Clupea harengus) in North America and Asia were examined by RNA–RNA blot hybridization to determine their genogroup. The isolates from clams and herring were identified as members of genogroup A, but the isolate from grass carp did not hybridize to any of the known genogroups, suggesting that this virus probably represents a new, seventh genogroup.
