微囊藻和小球藻携带WSSV量的变化及对水体游离WSSV的影响

研究了铜绿微囊藻（Microcystis aeruginosa）和蛋白核小球藻（Chlorellapyrenoidosa）携带白斑综合症病毒（whitespotsyndromevirus,WSSV）数量变化及对水体游离WSSV量的影响。试验设置微藻高、低密度组和不加微藻的对照组,分别加入等量的WSSV粗提液,于第2、第24、第72和第120小时以实时荧光定量PCR检测藻液上清和沉淀藻体的WSSV数量。结果表明,微囊藻和小球藻可携带少量WSSV,且随时间延长而减少;微囊藻携带WSSV量与其细胞数呈显著正相关（P〈0．05）,小球藻携带WSSV量与其细胞数相关性不显著（P〉0．05）;2种微藻均有促进水体WSSV数量消减的效果,且小球藻的消减效果优于微囊藻,对养殖对虾白斑综合症（whitespotsyndrome,WSS）的生态防控更有积极意义。

人工培育对虾苗种体内可培养细菌数量及组成分析

采用常规细菌分离、培养与纯化,结合细菌16S rDNA序列分析等方法,调查分析了山东、天津、浙江部分苗种场凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)和中国明对虾(Fenneorpenaeus chinensis)苗种体内的可培养细菌总数以及优势菌的种类和数量,并用PCR的方法检测对虾苗种携带病毒情况.结果显示,凡纳滨对虾和中国明对虾苗种体内的可培养细菌总数均在105-107 CFU/g之间,分离出的细菌分属于弧菌属(Vibrio)、发光杆菌属(Photobacterium)、芽孢杆菌属(Bacillus)、盐单胞菌属(Halomonas)等8个属,其中,弧菌属在对虾苗种体内占绝对优势,达40.0％-90.23％.部分凡纳滨对虾和中国明对虾苗种样品检测为白斑综合征病毒(White spot syndrome virus,VSSV)和传染性皮下及造血组织坏死病毒(Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus,IHHNV)阳性,WSSV检出率为50.0％,IHHNV检出率为37.5％,同时携带两种病毒的检出率为11.11％.只携带WSSV病毒以及同时携带两种病毒的对虾苗种体内的总菌数量在1.23×107-4.14×107 CFU/g之间,显著高于其他批次的样品(P＜0.05),且弧菌数量在107 CFU/g左右,显著高于其他批次的样品(P＜0.05).只携带IHHNV以及不携带病毒的对虾苗种体内的弧菌数量为104-106 CFU/g.研究表明,弧菌属在凡纳滨对虾和中国明对虾苗种体内普遍存在且为优势菌属,携带WSSV可能会引起对虾苗种体内的弧菌数量增长.     

白斑综合症病毒在日本囊对虾精养池塘中的动态变化

用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测了高密度精养池塘中日本囊对虾体内及浮游动物白斑综合症病毒携带量的动态变化,检测结果显示,两口池塘的日本囊对虾苗种均携带白斑综合症病毒,达2.43×10~5~9.42×10~5 IU/mg;浮游动物也携带微量白斑综合症病毒,达6.78×10~2~8.02×10~2 IU/mg。在整个养殖过程中,日本囊对虾多个组织均携带白斑综合症病毒,平均病毒量为鳃肌肉肝胰腺胃;各组织病毒携带量的变化趋势不一致,肌肉、肝胰腺、胃等呈现明显的先降后升趋势,最低降至1.78×10~3 IU/mg,鳃白斑综合症病毒携带量的下降幅度较小,最低为7.29×10~4 IU/mg。浮游动物的病毒量在白斑综合症爆发前波动不明显,发病时急剧升高。综合认为,苗种携带是白斑综合症病毒的主要来源;当养殖进入中后期,底质变差、水温降至病毒适宜复制的温度时,易爆发白斑综合症。     

虾池浮游微藻与养殖水环境调控的研究概况

在对虾养殖过程中,虾池中的浮游微藻群落结构和对虾的健康养殖有着密切关系,一些有益微藻能调节水体溶氧量（DO）和酸碱度（pH）,吸收氨氮（NH4-N）和亚硝氮（NO2-N）等有害物质,有效地调控养殖环境。但一些能分泌毒素的微藻也会给对虾的健康生长带来危害。数量和生物量占微藻总量比例均较高的浮游微藻优势种对整个虾池微藻群落结构的稳定起着重要作用,主导着微藻群落的功能发挥。不同养殖模式、养殖季节、养殖地域以及养殖阶段虾池中浮游微藻的优势种类分布、多样性等群落特征有差异。浮游微藻群落中优势种的变动规律和虾池中各种环境因子的动态密切相关,环境因子的变动会影响浮游微藻群落结构的变动。文章综述了对虾养殖生产实践中浮游微藻群落结构和生态调控特征的研究概况,并对在养殖中构建优良微藻藻相的方法进行了探讨。

中国明对虾WSSV携带量、生长和抗WSSV育种值的相关性分析

为评估中国明对虾生长及抗WSSV能力与中国明对虾WSSV携带量之间的相关性,实验对130个中国明对虾家系进行生长及抗WSSV性能测试,对收集到的中国明对虾生长和抗病数据,输入“水产动物育种分析与管理系统”数据库,利用综合选择指数法估计中国明对虾各个家系的育种值。根据分析结果,选择出生长育种值最大的5个家系和最小的5个家系、抗WSSV育种值最大的5个家系和最小的5个家系,分别检测上述20个家系的亲虾、养殖50 d及170 d中国明对虾的WSSV携带量。结果显示,亲虾、50 d中国明对虾及170 d中国明对虾的WSSV携带量分别为0.190 8、0.286 6和0.232 9 copies/ng DNA,三者之间差异均不显著。亲虾、50 d中国明对虾和170 d中国明对虾的WSSV携带量与中国明对虾的生长育种值相关系数分别为 0.021、0.363和0.185,亲虾、50 d中国明对虾和170 d中国明对虾的WSSV携带量与抗WSSV育种值相关系数分别为0.033、0.048和0.019。研究表明,中国明对虾的生长育种值和抗WSSV育种值与中国明对虾体内的WSSV携带量均无显著的相关性。     

低剂量对虾白斑综合征病毒粗提液对斑节对虾体内潜伏期病毒及血细胞的影响

利用含3×103、6×102、2×102copies/mL的对虾白斑综合征病毒(white spot syndromevirus,WSSV)粗提液和PBS液人工注射感染携带病毒量约1×105copies/g的斑节对虾,通过实时定量PCR法、显微镜观察法研究了感染后斑节对虾发病死亡率、肌肉内WSSV含量及总血淋巴细胞数和不同种类血细胞的比例组成变化。结果表明,3种浓度下斑节对虾累积死亡率分别为93.33%±2.89%、56.67%±5.77%和45.00%±5.00%,对照组没有发生死亡。注射3×103copies/mL的浓度组,在注射后30 min时,对虾肌肉内的病毒含量达到最低值(3.54×104copies/g),而后持续上升至48 h时达到最高值(3.12×108copies/g)后再次下降;另两个感染组,在注射后1 h时,肌肉内病毒含量达到最低值(分别为1.11×105、9.54×104copies/g),在感染后6 h时出现一个次高值(分别为1.58×105、1.11×105copies/g),而后又降低,在48 h时达到最高值(分别为1.48×107、5.46×106copies/g)后下降;对照组对虾肌肉内病毒含量没有出现显著变化。不同感染浓度组,斑节对虾总血淋巴细胞数波动幅度和出现峰值的时间不同,特别是注射3×103copies/mL组,对虾总血淋巴细胞数在12和48 h时出现极低值(分别为3.48×106、4.05×106/mL);3个感染组除个别时间点外,对虾总血淋巴细胞数的变化规律与肌肉中WSSV的扩增规律成负相关。4个处理组,半颗粒细胞比例在感染初期呈现明显上升的趋势,后期比例虽有起伏但均维持在较高水平;颗粒细胞和透明细胞比例在感染初期均呈现明显下降的趋势,中期均略有上升,但后期颗粒细胞比例显著低于初期,而透明细胞比例则与初期无显著性差异。     

Low numbers of repeat units in variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) regions of white spot syndrome virus are correlated with disease outbreaks

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the most important pathogen in shrimp farming systems worldwide including the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The genome of WSSV is characterized by the presence of two major ‘indel regions’ found at ORF14/15 and ORF23/24 (WSSV‐Thailand) and three regions with variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) located in ORF75, ORF94 and ORF125. In the current study, we investigated whether or not the number of repeat units in the VNTRs correlates with virus outbreak status and/or shrimp farming practice. We analysed 662 WSSV samples from individual WSSV‐infected Penaeus monodon shrimp from 104 ponds collected from two important shrimp farming regions of the Mekong Delta: Ca Mau and Bac Lieu. Using this large data set and statistical analysis, we found that for ORF94 and ORF125, the mean number of repeat units (RUs) in VNTRs was significantly lower in disease outbreak ponds than in non‐outbreak ponds. Although a higher mean RU number was observed in the improved‐extensive system than in the rice‐shrimp or semi‐intensive systems, these differences were not significant. VNTR sequences are thus not only useful markers for studying WSSV genotypes and populations, but specific VNTR variants also correlate with disease outbreaks in shrimp farming systems.     

A review on the morphology, molecular characterization, morphogenesis and pathogenesis of white spot syndrome virus

Since it first appeared in 1992, white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) has become the most threatening infectious agent in shrimp aquaculture. Within a decade, this pathogen has spread to all the main shrimp farming areas and has caused enormous economic losses amounting to more than seven billion US dollars. At present, biosecurity methods used to exclude pathogens in shrimp farms include disinfecting ponds and water, preventing the entrance of animals that may carry infectious agents and stocking ponds with specific pathogen-free post-larvae. The combination of these practices increases biosecurity in shrimp farming facilities and may contribute to reduce the risk of a WSSV outbreak. Although several control methods have shown some efficacy against WSSV under experimental conditions, no therapeutic products or strategies are available to effectively control WSSV in the field. Furthermore, differences in virulence and clinical outcome of WSSV infections have been reported. The sequencing and characterization of different strains of WSSV has begun to determine aspects of its biology, virulence and pathogenesis. Knowledge on these aspects is critical for developing effective control methods. The aim of this review is to present an update of the knowledge generated so far on different aspects of WSSV organization, morphogenesis, pathology and pathogenesis.     

Comparison of white spot syndrome virus quantification of fleshy shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis in outdoor ponds between different growing seasons by TaqMan real‐time polymerase chain reaction

In the present study, we used TaqMan real‐time polymerase chain reaction to quantify and compare infection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) with shrimp production of Fenneropenaeus chinensis cultured in outdoor ponds along the west coast of the South Korea. In 2007, a total of 60 specimens in summer and 116 specimens in autumn were collected from 12 growing‐out ponds and 12 harvest ponds respectively. Pond harvest data were obtained from farmers. Of the summer samples, all specimens were WSSV positive, with a wide range of 12.4–7.0 × 10⁷ (mean 7.5 × 10⁶) copies ng^?1 DNA; shrimp production was 1.7 metric tonnes per hectare (mt ha^?1). Of the 116 autumn‐sample specimens, 81 (69.8%) were WSSV positive; WSSV infection had been decreased dramatically, to 0–7.2 (mean 3.5) copies ng^?1 DNA. Shrimp production of autumn ponds was 2.1 mt ha^?1. Statistical analysis indicated that the difference in WSSV infections detected in summer and autumn was highly significant (P<0.01). In summer, seven ponds (58.3%) with low‐WSSV infection loads (0–1000 WSSV copies ng^?1 DNA) had shrimp production of 2.7 mt ha^?1; the others had shrimp production of only 0.2 mt ha^?1. The mean shrimp production between the two infection levels showed a highly statistically significant difference (P<0.01).     

Prevalence of white spot syndrome virus infection detected by one-step and nested PCR in selected tiger shrimp (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Penaeus monodon</Emphasis>) hatcheries

White spot syndrome (WSS) is considered as a great threat to commercial farming of the tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). The causal agent of WSS is a DNA virus called white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). The prevalence of this dreadful virus infection has been studied in five randomly selected hatcheries located in the Cox’s Bazar district of Bangladesh. Both one-step and nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) involving two pairs of primers, namely, 146F1/146R1 and 146F2/146R2, amplifying the 1447 bp and 941 bp fragments, respectively, were conducted to detect the WSSV. Out of 60 randomly collected shrimps, 12 (20%) were found to be positive by one-step PCR, while 18 (30%) were found to be positive by nested PCR. The nested PCR was found to be much more sensitive than the one-step PCR. The shrimp specimens showing clinical signs of WSS were positive for WSSV by both one-step and nested PCR. Some of the apparently healthy samples were also found to be positive for WSSV by nested PCR. Among the two primer-pairs, the inner pair amplifying the 941 bp fragment was more sensitive than the outer primer pair amplifying the 1447 bp fragment when used in one-step PCR.     

中国对虾几个产卵场群体携带白斑综合征病毒状况调查

白斑综合征可以导致养殖对虾短时间内大面积死亡，是迄今为止对虾养殖业面临的最大挑战。本试验采用巢式PCR法对2001年采自黄渤海的中国对虾几个产卵场群体进行白斑综合征病毒检测，旨在较全面地了解黄渤海野生中国对虾携带病毒状况。各群体的阳性检出率分别为：朝鲜半岛南海岸群体55％；渤海湾群体35％；辽东湾群体94．7％；海州湾群体47．4％。结果显示，中国对虾几个产卵场群体均不同程度地携带白斑综合征病毒。辽东湾产卵场群体阳性检出率明显高于其他群体，推测人工孵化苗种放流、海湾的地理和水质条件与中国对虾的WSSV感染率相关。而中国对虾野生群体携带病毒对于对虾养殖业的影响是不容忽视的，笔者认为，只有从无特异病原(SPF)及抗特异病原(SPR)对虾养殖群体的建立着手才能从根本上避免由于对虾携带病毒而可能导致的病毒性疾病的暴发。同时，应该重视海区污染的治理，减少病毒病暴发的诱因。本试验建立了快速检测WSSV的PCR方法，1pg病毒核酸仍可检测到，为白斑综合征病毒病的防治及早期诊断提供了有效的手段。     

WSSV＋斑节对虾的血清免疫相关酶对人工感染WSSV粗提液的反应

用含3×103拷贝·g^-1、6×1062拷贝·g^-1和2×10^2拷贝·g^-1的对虾白斑综合征病毒（white spot syndrome virus,WSSV）粗提液和PBS液（对照）注射感染病毒携带量约1×10^5拷贝·g^-1的斑节对虾（Penaeusmonodon）,分别于第15分钟、第30分钟、第1小时、第3小时、第6小时、第12小时、第24小时、第48小时、第72小时取样,研究了WSSV感染对斑节对虾血清内酸性磷酸酶（acidphosphatase,ACP）、碱性磷酸酶（alkalinephospha—tase,AKP）、酚氧化酶（phenoloxidase,PO）、过氧化物酶（peroxidase,POD）和超氧化物歧化酶（superoxide dismutase,SOD）活性的影响。结果表明,在3种感染浓度下ACP、AKP、SOD活性总体呈现先上升后下降随后上升的趋势,其中SOD活性后期水平显著高于初期;PO、POD活性总体呈现先下降后上升随后下降最后上升的趋势,但PO后期活性水平与初期相当,而POD后期活性水平显著高于初期。各免疫相关酶的反应强度与WSSV的感染浓度存在一定关系,除ACP外其余4种酶的活性变化均以6×10^2拷贝·mL^-1浓度组最为敏感。PBS组5种免疫酶活性变化幅度均显著小于3种WSSV浓度感染组。     

Detailed monitoring of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp commercial ponds in Sinaloa, Mexico by nested PCR

WSSV has caused great losses to the global shrimp industry in recent years. This virus can infect shrimps asymptomatically. However, once the clinical signs are developed, mortalities can reach 100% in 3-10 days. PCR has been extensively used to detect WSSV in a specific and sensitive manner. Nested PCR is even more sensitive than single-step PCR and had been used for the detection of WSSV in asymptomatic populations. In this work, a detailed monitoring of WSSV by nested PCR in shrimp commercial ponds in Guasave County, State of Sinaloa, Mexico, is presented. Five ponds from two different farms were monitored for growth and presence of WSSV. At the beginning of the culture, ponds from both farms showed no or very slight WSSV presence. A 3-day period of rain occurred at both farms 10 and 14 weeks of culture for farms 1 and 2, respectively. At this time, WSSV was widely distributed in the shrimp populations of farm 1 according to nested-PCR data, although no visual symptoms were observed. In ponds of farm 2, WSSV was present at low level. However, the number of PCR-positive groups was drastically increased in both farms by nested and single-step PCR. Abrupt fluctuations in temperature and salinity were documented in farm 2 after the rain, which may have contributed to the increasing of viral load in the pond's shrimp populations. Twelve days after the rain period, estimated mortalities of 80% occurred in farm 1. Nevertheless, the study ponds at farm 2 culture continued normally for three more weeks and were harvested successfully (52% and 67% of survival for ponds 1 and 2, respectively). The removal of 40% and 50% of shrimp population 2-4 days after the raining period may have contributed to the thriving of the cultures. Analyses of the presence of WSSV in individuals of both sexes indicated that there is no preference for this virus to infect male or female shrimp. Also, no differences in weight were found between WSSV infected and non-infected individual shrimps, as well as nested-PCR positive against single-step PCR positive organisms. Nested PCR is more useful to monitor shrimp cultures than single-step PCR since it allows knowing how widely distributed the virus is in asymptomatically populations.     

饲料中添加复合芽孢杆菌对凡纳滨对虾抗病毒感染能力及抗病基因表达的影响

自健康凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)分离到枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)、地衣芽孢杆菌(B. licheniformis)和短小芽孢杆菌(B. pumilus)，将上述芽孢杆菌以单一和3株复合的方式包裹在基础饲料表面，制成益生菌饲料；每日投喂对虾，3周后进行白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)人工感染。统计实验组和对照组的累积死亡率，测定对虾鳃组织内WSSV拷贝数，分析对虾肠道组织含半胱氨酸的天冬氨酸蛋白酶基因(Caspase)和硫氧还原蛋白基因(Trx)的相对表达量。结果显示，感染实验结束时，A组(枯草芽孢杆菌)、B组(地衣芽孢杆菌)、C组(短小芽孢杆菌)和D组(枯草芽孢杆菌+地衣芽孢杆菌+短小芽孢杆菌复合益生菌)的对虾累积死亡率分别为(73.3±7.0)%、(63.3±5.5)%、(75.0±7.9)%和(50.0±5.3)%，显著低于对照组(PBS组)(100%)；在整个感染阶段，各实验组的病毒拷贝数呈先上升后下降的趋势，但对照组呈现一直上升趋势，且显著高于实验组。抗病基因表达结果显示，WSSV感染后，各组对虾肠道Caspase相对表达量随感染时间的延长呈先上调再下调的趋势，且在18 h各组对虾肠道Caspase表达量达到最大值；益生菌摄取和WSSV感染都能刺激Trx的表达，益生菌的刺激相对平缓，且各实验组对虾肠道Trx相对表达量在WSSV感染后的18 h时陡升到最大值，极显著高于对照组，且以D组的激活能力最强。研究证实，枯草芽孢杆菌、地衣芽孢杆菌和短小芽孢杆菌均可提高对虾抗WSSV感染能力，复合芽孢杆菌抗病毒能力最突出。对虾抗病力的提高可能与芽孢杆菌减缓了病毒在靶组织的增殖速率、提高了Caspase和Trx基因表达水平相关。
