Smelt virus-1 (SmV-1) is a picorna-like virus isolated on the CHSE-214 (chinook salmon) cell line in August 1986 from clinically normal rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) in New Brunswick, Canada (Moore et al., 1988; Winton, 1989). The virus was resistant to ether, pH 3.0 and heating to 37 °C for 24 h. It was inactivated after 6 h at 56 °C.

Smelt virus-2 (SmV-2) is a picorna-like virus of the European smelt (Osmerus eperlanus) (Ahne et al., 1990).
