Microplastic shape can influence viral disease severity in rainbow trout

Summary
The shape of microplastics can influence how deadly a viral infection can be for fish, according to new research from William & Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). The findings suggest that some forms of plastic pollution pose greater biological risks than others, offering scientists a potential path toward reducing the environmental impacts of microplastics.
