应用PCR和RT-PCR技术对4种对虾病毒的检测

探讨了应用PCR和RT－PCR技术对4种主要的对虾病毒进行检测的方法。同时使用该方法检测了对虾天然饵料－－卤虫中的4种对虾病毒。结果显示，含病毒核酸的阳性对照样品分别扩增出了大小为824bp,705bp,260bp和216bp的预期产物，但未能从卤虫样品中检测到此4种病毒的存在。本文报道的病毒检测方法具有快速、灵敏、准确的特点，可以用于进出口贸易中对活体或冰冻对虾，虾苗，对虾饵料等进行相关对虾病毒的检疫，也为制定我国对虾病毒检疫检验规范提供了技术参考。     

江苏地区对虾3种病毒病的流行病学调查及5株IHHNV的编码区基因序列分析

对虾白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)、桃拉综合征病毒(TSV)、传染性皮下及造血组织坏死病毒(IHHNV)是威胁对虾养殖的重要病毒。为了调查这3种病在江苏境内的流行情况,根据世界动物卫生组织(OIE)推荐的《水生动物疾病诊断手册》的PCR检测法对2015年5月—2016年5月采集的1436尾对虾样品进行3种疾病的流行病学调查。结果显示WSSV阳性率为17.20%,TSV阳性率为0%,IHHNV阳性率为39.48%。对江苏不同地区分离出的5株IHHNV进行基因序列分析,数据显示这5个地区的毒株均属于Ⅰ型感染株,与韩国株的进化关系较为接近。本研究通过调查以上3种病毒病在江苏境内的流行情况,并进行序列分析,发现江苏不同地区的凡纳滨对虾IHHNV感染均为Ⅰ型,研究结果对养殖虾的疾病防控有重要参考价值。     

多重RT-PCR体系检测4种虾病毒的方法

根据多重RT-PCR的技术原理,利用对虾传染性表皮与造血组织坏死症病毒、白斑综合征病毒、黄头病毒和桃拉综合征病毒的基因序列分别设计了4对特异引物,建立多重RT-PCR体系用于虾4种病毒的检测。多重RT-PCR体系能特异地扩增出IHHNV、WSSV、YHV和TSV的目的片段:TSV特异性扩增片段508 bp,WSSV 特异性扩增片段435 bp,IHHNV 特异性扩增片段301 bp 和YHV。特异性扩增片段614 bp。结果表明,多重PCR虾病毒检测系统具有较高的特异性和敏感性,并对其它对虾病原呈阴性。IHHNV、TSV、WSSV和YHV模板在多重PCR虾病毒检测体系中的检测下限分别为0.1,1,0.02和0.2 pg。病毒感染病料检测试验中,该检测体系的检测结果与单纯PCR的检测结果呈现出较好的吻合度。     

对虾6种病毒多重PCR检测方法的建立

本研究针对养殖对虾6种病毒,包括白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)、传染性皮下及造血组织坏死病毒(IHHNV)、肝胰腺细小病毒(HPV)、桃拉综合征病毒(TSV)、对虾杆状病毒(BP)和传染性肌肉坏死病毒(IMNV),选择各自的基因分别设计特异性引物和探针,首先进行了单一病毒的PCR验证,在此基础上建立了同时特异性检测6种对虾病毒的多重PCR检测体系。对反应条件进行优化并进行特异性和灵敏度的验证。50μl反应体系,Mg2+的最佳浓度为5mmol/L,ExTaq酶最佳用量为3.75U,反应程序中最佳退火温度为55.5℃。6种病毒之间以及与对虾基因组都存在很好的特异性。最终经试验验证,该系统的检测灵敏度对WSSV可达104拷贝,IHHNV可达102拷贝,HPV可达104拷贝,TSV可达103拷贝,BP可达105拷贝,IMNV可达105拷贝。虽然该多重PCR方法灵敏度不如单一的PCR检测高,但是通过实际样品检测验证了该方法省时、消耗较少,又不失准确性,在实际应用中具有可靠性和应用价值。     

Histopathological Studies on Wild Broodstock of White Shrimp Penaeus vannamei in the Platanitos Area, Adjacent to San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico

In Mexico, the capture of wild broodstock of Penaeus vannamei or P. stylirostris for hatchery production of postlarvae is a common practice. During September 1995 and March-April 1996, high mortalities were observed in the wild broodstock captured in the Platanitos area, on the coast of San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico. As a result of these mortalities, many hatcheries closed down their facilities. Because early histological analysis had shown that some of these animals were infected with different pathological agents, such as bacteria and viruses, the present study was carried out to determine the prevalence and severity grade of infectious diseases affecting these shrimp. During March 1996, a total of 28 female and 28 male shrimp were randomly selected from a recently captured stock of 600 breeders of P. vannamei . A second sampling (28 females and 28 males) was performed from a stock of 800 breeders captured in April 1996. On this occasion, the shrimp were sampled after 10 d of acclimation in a hatchery. The animals selected for examination were those with necrosis in the cuticule, red coloration in the telson and uropods, soft cuticle, empty gut, and erratic swimming. All of the specimens were subjected to histological analysis and dot blot hybridization with a gene probe specific for Infectious Hypodermal and Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHHNV). The results showed that both stocks were infected with at least three different viruses (Infectious Hypodermal and Hematopoitetic Virus, Taura Syndrome Virus and Hepatopancreatic Parvo-Like Virus), gram-negative bacteria and other parasites such as gregarines. It is likely that the high mortalities observed are due to the recent introduction of TSV in the wild population of P. vannamei .     

凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)传染性皮下及造血组织坏死病毒(IHHNV)及虾肝肠胞虫(EHP)的荧光定量PCR检测

2013年,河北、天津等地区养殖的凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)育苗期出现死苗、出苗率低的情况,生产上,仔虾个体大小差异较大,造成了严重损失.本研究采用荧光定量PCR方法(Real-time PCR)对天津大港地区采集的108尾凡纳滨对虾仔虾样品进行单尾病原检测.结果显示,传染性皮下及造血组织坏死病毒(Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus,IHHNV)和虾肝肠胞虫(Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei,EHP)均有检出.IHHNV阳性检出率100％,每微克对虾组织DNA的病毒拷贝数为103-107,且个体较大的样品(1.2-2.0 cm)携带病毒拷贝数偏高;EHP阳性检出率为49.1％,每微克对虾组织DNA的拷贝数为103-105,且集中于个体较小样品(0.7-1.1 cm).对IHHNV和EHP阳性凡纳滨对虾样品进行生物学体长与病毒载量指数相关性分析,显示IHHNV载量指数与对虾生长速率呈正相关,虾组织IHHNV平均载量达8.51×104 copies/μg DNA,为较高的感染水平;EHP的载量与对虾生长速率呈负相关关系,与较大个体阳性检出率较低相对应,虾组织EHP平均载量达到2.19× 104 copies/μg DNA,为较高的感染水平.由此,该批凡纳滨对虾仔虾患病为IHHNV和EHP的混合感染所致,本研究数据为IHHNV和EHP病原混合感染流行情况及其对养殖育苗期仔虾生长的影响提供科学依据.     

凡纳滨对虾鳃细胞膜IHHNV衣壳蛋白受体的筛选

对虾传染性皮下及造血组织坏死病(IHHN)为对虾主要病毒病之一,近些年,在全球范围内广泛流行并造成严重的经济损失。目前,在流行病学和诊断方面受到重视,但其致病机理鲜有报道。本研究首先构建了IHHNV CP原核表达载体,纯化CP蛋白并制备多抗,抗体效价达到1︰51200;利用匀浆、超速离心方法分离未感染IHHNV的凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)鳃细胞膜蛋白;用VOPBA和HIS PULL–DOWN方法筛选凡纳滨对虾鳃细胞膜IHHNV CP受体,分别将疑似的蛋白条带进行LC-MS/MS分析。结果表明,信号转导与转录激活因子(STAT)、热休克蛋白90(HSP 90)、酚氧化酶原2型、Na+/K+-ATP酶α亚基4种蛋白能与IHHNV衣壳蛋白产生相互作用,并具有多种生物学活性,可能参与病毒的入侵及细胞病变的产生。其具体作用有待深入研究。     

常规PCR、实时定量PCR检测传染性皮下及造血器官坏死病毒的效果分析

对虾传染性皮下及造血器官坏死病毒(IHHNV)可感染世界各地养殖对虾,给对虾养殖业造成严重经济损失。本实验首次采用实时定量PCR法对广西地区的84份凡纳滨对虾样品进行检测,同时以常规PCR检测作对照。实时定量PCR检测阳性率为79·8%,常规PCR检测阳性率为40·5%,表明广西地区养殖的凡纳滨对虾IHHNV的感染率较高。将二者检测均呈阳性的30份样品扩增产物进行序列分析测序,测序结果通过DNA STAR软件包进行分析,并通过NCBI Blast与GenBank中的序列进行比对。结果证明,测定的是IHHNV序列。30份样品的IHHNV序列很保守,可以分为4种类型,仅有两个碱基的位置发生变异。实时定量PCR检测IHHNV,快速、灵敏、准确,特异性好,可以作为检测对虾感染病毒的有效方法。     

Multiple infections caused by white spot syndrome virus and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei in pond‐reared Penaeus vannamei in India and multiplex PCR for their simultaneous detection

White leg shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, were collected on a monthly basis from grow‐out ponds located at Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh states along the east coast of India for screening of viral and other pathogens. Totally 240 shrimp samples randomly collected from 92 farms were screened for white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV) and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP). The number of shrimp collected from shrimp farms ranged from 6 to 20 based on the body weight of the shrimp. All the shrimp collected from one farm were pooled together for screening for pathogens by PCR assay. Among the samples screened, 28 samples were WSSV‐positive, one positive for IHHNV and 30 samples positive for EHP. Among the positive samples, four samples were found to be positive for both WSSV and EHP, which indicated that the shrimp had multiple infections with WSSV and EHP. This is the first report on the occurrence of multiple infections caused by WSSV and EHP. Multiplex PCR (m‐PCR) protocol was standardized to detect both pathogens simultaneously in single reaction instead of carrying out separate PCR for both pathogens. Using m‐PCR assay, naturally infected shrimp samples collected from field showed two prominent bands of 615 and 510 bp for WSSV and EHP, respectively.     

Presence of multiple viruses in non-diseased, cultivated shrimp at harvest

Histological examinations were carried out with 400 cultivated black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) from 12 commercial rearing ponds from three different areas in Thailand over a period of 3 years. The shrimp were collected at or near harvest time as two arbitrary size groups of 10–20 each from each pond. Aside from size difference, they showed no gross signs of disease and were normally active. Pathognomonic histopathological lesions were found only for hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) or monodon baculovirus (MBV). Although these were relatively frequent, no unusual shrimp mortality had occurred in any of the ponds examined. Severity of these infections was negatively correlated with shrimp size. When grouped together, HPV-infected shrimp gave mean lengths of approximately 6.5 cm that were significantly different from uninfected shrimp at 9 cm length, early in the cultivation cycle while MBV-infected groups of approximately 9 cm length were not readily distinguishable until uninfected shrimp were 10 cm or more, later in cultivation. Thus, HPV infection was correlated with more severe stunting than MBV. In addition to histopathological examination, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for HPV, white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) were carried out on one large sample of 240 shrimp from 6 ponds where visible lesions were apparent for MBV only. Surprisingly, 94% of the specimens gave a positive test for at least one of the four viruses. HPV and IHHNV alone or in combination were detected at high prevalence (approximately 60%) despite the absence of visible histological lesions and were confirmed by southern blot hybridization. Although the prevalence of the four viral pathogens was very high, it would normally have gone unnoticed, since normal shrimp are rarely examined for viruses.     

Competition of infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) for binding to shrimp cellular membrane

Infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) are two widespread shrimp viruses. The interference of IHHNV on WSSV was the first reported case of viral interference that involved crustacean viruses and has been subsequently confirmed. However, the mechanisms underlying the induction of WSSV resistance through IHHNV infection are practically unknown. In this study, the interference mechanisms between IHHNV and WSSV were studied using a competitive ELISA. The binding of WSSV and IHHNV to cellular membrane of Litopenaeus vannamei was examined. The results suggested that there existed a mutual competition between IHHNV and WSSV for binding to receptors present on cellular membrane of L. vannamei and that the inhibitory effects of WSSV towards IHHNV were more distinct than those of IHHNV towards WSSV.     

多重PCR检测对虾白斑综合症病毒和传染性皮下组织坏死病毒

采用对虾白斑综合症病毒和传染性皮下组织坏死病毒的特异引物,在一个PCR反应中同时扩增到大小分别为271 bp和356 bp的病毒特异片段,多重PCR条件优化后可从最少100 fg级病毒DNA模板中定性检测出此两种病毒。     

Postlarvae and juveniles of a selected line of Penaeus stylirostris are resistant to infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus infection

A susceptibility study of postlarvae (PL) and juvenile Super Shrimp®, a selected line of Penaeus stylirostris, was conducted to compare their resistance to infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) infection to that of a specific pathogen free (SPF) population of P. vannamei. Super Shrimp® PLs were fed with IHHNV-infected shrimp tissue for 2 days and then maintained on a pelletized ration for an additional 28 days. PLs were sampled at days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30. There was no apparent mortality during the experimental period. Tissue DNA extracted from the PLs was analyzed for the presence of IHHNV by PCR. Low levels of IHHNV were detected only in DNA extracts from samples at days 1, 2, and 3. No IHHNV DNA was detected from days 4 to 30. The days that the PLs were weakly IHHNV-PCR positive were during the period that they were being fed with IHHNV-tissue, and thus, the IHHNV DNA signal was suspected to be from the infected tissue used as a feed. Through both histology and in situ hybridization, we confirmed that tissues of Super Shrimp® PLs were not infected with IHHNV. PCR results of another IHHNV challenge study with juveniles of Super Shrimp® were similar to those with PLs. These results indicate that IHHNV did not replicate in the PL and juvenile Super Shrimp®. In contrast, P. vannamei juveniles, which were used as a positive control, showed a more intense IHHNV infection, as determined by PCR detection, beginning at 6 days postchallenge and increasing throughout the remainder of the study. In addition, the IHHNV-infected P. vannamei at 30 days postchallenge showed histological changes characteristic of IHHNV infection and had a positive reaction for IHHNV with in situ hybridization. Our studies show that Super Shrimp® are resistant to IHHNV infection. This is the first unequivocal demonstration of resistance to viral infection in shrimp.     

用逆转录多聚酶链式反应从凡纳对虾中检出传染性皮下组织和造血器官坏死病毒

Genetic Analyses for TSV-Susceptible and TSV-Resistant Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei using M1 Microsatellite

Allelic frequency differences at the highly polymorphic MI microsatellite of B20 locus were examined in Taura Syndrome Virus (TSV)-susceptible (Kona) and TSV-resistant (Select) lines of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei . DNA was screened from 1,009 cultured L. vannamei , 166 from the Kona line and 843 (97 broodstock and 746 offspring) from the Select line. A total of 34 different MI alleles were found, 41.2% of which were shared by the two lines, and 58.2% were unique to either line. Only seven (20.6%) of the 34 alleles had similar frequencies in the two lines. The most frequent (22.4%) allele in the Select line (218 bp) was absent from the Kona line. The most frequent (9.6%) allele in the Kona line (236 bp) was not observed in the Select line. Significant genetic differentiation between the two lines was shown using contingency table analysis (X²= 891.20, df = 33, P < 0.0001), the exact test ( P < 0.00001), and F_st, analysis (0.06). Comparison of MI allele frequencies between the TSVresistant Select and TSV-susceptible Kona lines and between the top 12.5% (Top Select) and the bottom 12.5% (Bottom Select) surviving families to TSV challenge in the Select line suggested associations of MI alleles with TSV resistance. These observations suggest testable hypotheses in future experiments aimed at finding genetic markers associated with resistance to TSV and markers that could be used for marker-assisted selection of broodstock.     

Prevalence of Infectious Hypodermal and Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHHNV) and White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) in Litopenaeus vannamei in the Pacific Ocean off the Coast of Panama

Abstract.— In March 2000, 104 wild caught Litopenaeus wannamei broodstock, captured off the Pacific coast of Panama, were screened for the following penaeid viruses: infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of IHHNV and WSSV in wild shrimp in this area of the Western Hemisphere and to acquire specific pathogen free (SPF) L. vannamei for inclusion into the Oceanic Institute's genetic breeding program. The prevalence of the viruses was determined using the dot blot hybridization format, which is a commercially available molecular method for detecting these viruses. Dot blot hybridization assays can be used as an initial screening method to detect moderately to highly infected shrimp. The results from the dot blot assays indicated the prevalence of IHHNV in 28% and WSSV in 2% of the 104 hemolyrnph samples tested. Results from this study were used to establish the initial candidate SPF status of the animals that were assessed and to determine the prevalence of two serious pathogens of penaeid shrimp captured from the wild of the Pacific Ocean in the Central American region off the coast of Panama.     

Pre-exposure to infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus or to inactivated white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) confers protection against WSSV in Penaeus vannamei (Boone) post-larvae

Larvae and post-larvae of Penaeus vannamei (Boone) were submitted to primary challenge with infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) or formalin-inactivated white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Survival rate and viral load were evaluated after secondary per os challenge with WSSV at post-larval stage 45 (PL45). Only shrimp treated with inactivated WSSV at PL35 or with IHHNV infection at nauplius 5, zoea 1 and PL22 were alive (4.7% and 4%, respectively) at 10 days post-infection (p.i.). Moreover, at 9 days p.i. there was 100% mortality in all remaining treatments, while there was 94% mortality in shrimp treated with inactivated WSSV at PL35 and 95% mortality in shrimp previously treated with IHHNV at N5, Z1 and PL22. Based on viral genome copy quantification by real-time PCR, surviving shrimp previously challenged with IHHNV at PL22 contained the lowest load of WSSV (0-1x10(3) copies microg-1 of DNA). In addition, surviving shrimp previously exposed to inactivated WSSV at PL35 also contained few WSSV (0-2x10(3) copies microg-1 of DNA). Consequently, pre-exposure to either IHHNV or inactivated WSSV resulted in slower WSSV replication and delayed mortality. This evidence suggests a protective role of IHHNV as an interfering virus, while protection obtained by inactivated WSSV might result from non-specific antiviral immune response.     

双重PCR同时检测对虾白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)和传染性皮下及造血器官坏死病毒(IHHNV)

根据Genbank中对虾白斑病由白斑综合征病毒（WSSV）和传染性皮下及造血器官坏死病毒（IHHNV）的基因序列,设计了两对能分别检测WSSV和IHHNV保守片段基因的特异性引物,而且这两对引物在同一反应体系中可以同时对WSSV和IHHNV的DNA模板进行多重PCR扩增,得到大小分别为110bp（WSSV）和356bp（IHHNV）的扩增条带。对影响PCR反应的主要因素Mg“浓度和退火温度进行了优化,证明当Mg^2＋浓度为2．0～4．0mmd,退火温度为57～59℃时可获得最佳的扩增和检测效果。特异性试验结果表明,这两对引物检测WSSV和IHHNV具有很好的特异性,对其它对虾常见病原的PCR扩增结果均为阴性。敏感性测定结果表明,该反应体系最低能检测100pg的WSSV和IHHNV的DNA模板。临床检测表明,所建立的双重PCR方法可以适用于WSSV和IHHNV的同时检测和鉴别。
