Tilapia Lake Virus disease (TiLVD)

Tilapia Lake virus disease (TiLVD ) is an emerging disease that was first identified at Galili Lake in 2014 (Eyngor et al., 2014). Ferguson et al. (2014) were the first to identify a novel disease in Ecuador called syncytial hepatitis of tilapia. Since then, outbreaks of TiLV have been reported in multiple countries, including Egypt (Fathi et al., 2017). In Egypt, there is speculation that the disease may be one of the factors contributing to the mortalities that have occurred over the summer since 2015, however, this has not been confirmed yet.
