#12 – Zoonosis From the Sea: Covert Mortality Nodavirus

from viroLOGICAL · host Florian Krammer & Podcastwerkstatt

A virus previously known only from shrimp farms and fish is now linked to a serious eye disease in humans. Covert Mortality Nodavirus (CMNV) has been detected in over half of fish samples and nearly two-thirds of crab samples tested at markets and a new study in Nature Microbiology (March 2026) connects it to a persistent form of viral uveitis that can permanently damage the optic nerve and lead to severe vision loss.
