The viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), which causes anemia and hemorrhaging in fish, has now been identified in 19 species and poses a potential threat to New York's $1.2 billion sport-fishing industry.

Bowser suspects the virus may have originated from an infected marine fish off the Atlantic Coast and that the virus is still relatively new to the region. Other possible sources of the virus include the movement of infected fish by airborne or terrestrial predators, anglers using infected bait minnows, contaminated fishing equipment or live water wells in boats, boating activities and ballast water.

"Basically, we don't know how it got here, but it's here and it's spreading," said Bowser. "It would be wonderful if we did know. However, I don't think we ever will."
Etc... (please see link below)

I hope this helps. :)

I have never heard of any man made virus. In fact I don't recall anyone even attempting to make a virus. Not even in biological weapons research. All biological weapons are bacteria, not viruses.
