ABSTRACT A serious disease occurred in many Holiotis diversicolor Reeve farms during 1999 and 2002. The symptoms of the infected abalone were as follows: the pleopod became stiff, its surface became black, and the mantle shrank. Ali sizes of abalone became infected and mortality was high. A spherical virus was detected in the tissues of the digestive gland, mantle, gill, and intestine of infected animals. It was observed in the cytoplasm and had a diameter about ~100-130 nm.
