一株传染性造血器官坏死病病毒的致病性研究

为了对分离于山东某虹鳟养殖场的一株传染性造血器官坏死病毒株(IHNV-Sn1203)进行致病性检测与研究,将该IHNV-Sn1203毒株进行虹鳟鱼苗人工回接感染实验。结果显示,8d内人工感染实验鱼累计死亡率高达100%。收集大批濒死的病鱼样本,制备病理组织切片;利用鲤上皮细胞(EPC)进行细胞感染实验、病毒电镜观察、空斑实验、病毒滴度检测和聚类分析。病理组织切片显示,该病毒可造成虹鳟造血器官广泛性坏死;细胞感染实验结果显示,接种24 h后EPC细胞出现葡萄串状典型细胞病变(cytopathic effect,CPE),72 h后大部分细胞崩解脱落形成网状孔洞;电镜下清晰可见弹状病毒粒子大量存在于细胞质内,其在EPC细胞上的滴度为108.36TCID50/mL,并能形成2~4 mm空斑。对病毒核蛋白氨基酸序列的聚类分析结果显示,该病毒与标准毒株RB-1和WRAC的同源性分别为97%和93%,与国内报道的zyx株具有最高的同源性(99%)。研究表明,IHNV-Sn1203毒株能够在鱼体及敏感细胞中稳定繁殖,产生典型病变,具有较高的病毒滴度,对虹鳟鱼苗有很高的感染性和致死性。     

Inactivated infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) vaccines

The inactivation dynamics of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) by b-propiolactone (BPL), binary ethylenimine (BEI), formaldehyde or heat and the antigenic and immunogenic properties of the inactivated vaccines were evaluated. Chemical treatment of IHNV with 2.7 mm BPL, 1.5 mm BEI or 50 mm formaldehyde abolished virus infectivity within 48 h whereas heat treatment at 50 or 100 degrees C rendered the virus innocuous within 30 min. The inactivated IHNV vaccines were recognized by rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, IHNV-specific antibodies and were differentially recognized by antigenic site I or antigenic site II IHNV glycoprotein-specific neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. The BPL inactivated whole virus vaccine was highly efficacious in vaccinated rainbow trout challenged by waterborne exposure to IHNV 7, 28, 42 or 56 days (15 degrees C) after immunization. The formaldehyde inactivated whole virus vaccine was efficacious 7 or 11 days after vaccination of rainbow trout but performed inconsistently when tested at later time points. The other vaccines tested were not efficacious.     

A single-step multiplex PCR for simultaneous detection of white spot syndrome virus and infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus in penaeid shrimp

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) are the major viral pathogens of penaeid shrimp worldwide (Lightner & Redman 1998). Litopenaeus vannamei was introduced into China from the Americas, and quickly became widely cultured. Following its introduction, both IHHNV and WSSV have become important pathogens of cultured penaeid shrimp and have had a huge impact on the culture industry in China in recent years.     

First detection and isolation of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus from farmed rainbow trout in Nyeri County,Kenya

Infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is the causative agent of infectious haematopoietic necrosis, a disease of salmonid responsible for great economic losses. The disease occurs in most parts of the world where rainbow trout is reared but has not been previously reported in Kenya. In this study, rainbow trout fry and growers from two farms in Nyeri County were screened for IHNV. Whole fry (n = 4 from each farm) and kidney samples from growers (n = 15 and n = 6 from the two farms, respectively) were collected and preserved for cell culture examination or PCR analysis. Screening of samples was done by PCR followed by sequencing of the glycoprotein gene of the virus. Demonstration of the virus was done by propagation in EPC cells followed by the indirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT). The results revealed the presence of IHNV at low prevalence of 0.1 and 0.4 for the two farms. The virus was confirmed both by IFAT and by partial sequencing of the G gene. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Kenyan isolates were identical to those of the J genogroup found mostly in Asia. The findings have implications for biosecurity measures and import regulations for the Kenyan rainbow trout industry.     

An isolate and sequence database of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV)

In the field of fish diseases, the amount of relevant information available is enormous. Internet‐based databases are an excellent tool for keeping track of the available knowledge in the field. Fishpathogens.eu was launched in June 2009 with the aim of collecting, storing and sorting data on fish pathogens. The first pathogen to be included was the rhabdovirus, viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV). Here, we present an extension of the database to also include infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). The database is developed, maintained and managed by the European Community Reference Laboratory for Fish Diseases and collaborators. It is available at http://www.fishpathogens.eu/ihnv .     

Inhibition of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus in cell cultures with peptide-conjugated morpholino oligomers

Delivery of phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMO) into fish cells in vitro and tissues in vivo was examined. Uptake was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry after treating cultured cells or live rainbow trout with 3' fluorescein-tagged PMO. Arginine-rich peptide conjugated to the 5' end of the PMO markedly enhanced cellular uptake in culture by 8- to 20-fold compared with non-peptide-conjugated PMO as determined by flow cytometry. Enhanced uptake of PMO conjugated to peptide was also observed in tissues of fish treated by immersion. The efficacy of PMO as inhibitors of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) replication was determined in vitro. Peptide-conjugated PMOs targeting sequences within the IHNV genomic RNA (negative polarity) or antigenomic RNA (positive polarity) significantly inhibited replication in a dose-dependent and sequence-specific manner. A PMO complementary to sequence near the 5' end of IHNV genomic RNA was the most effective, diminishing titre by 97%, as measured by plaque assay and Western blot. These data demonstrate that replication of a negative-stranded non-segmented RNA virus can be inhibited by antisense compounds that target positive polarity viral RNA, or by a compound that targets negative polarity viral RNA.     

Detection of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus in river water and demonstration of waterborne transmission

Abstract. In a study of the possible role of waterborne infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus in transmission of the disease among spawning sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka (Walbaum), both infection rates and virus titres were higher in fish held at high density in a side channel than in fish in the adjacent river. Virus was never isolated from river water, but was found in water from the side channel at levels ranging from 32.5 to 1600 plaque-forming units (p.f.u.)/ml. Uninfected yearling sockeye salmon held in a box in the side channel developed localized gill infections with IHN virus. The disease did not progress to the viscera until a threshold titre of about 10⁵ p.f.u./g was reached in the gill. The effectiveness of the gill as a barrier limiting development of systemic infections means that waterborne IHN virus probably does not greatly increase the infection rate in a sockeye salmon population during spawning.     

Epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus: detection by ELISA, immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron-microscopy

Abstract. Epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV) was isolated from cultured rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum). Antibodies to the virus and to associated capsid subunits have been produced and used in immunohistochemistry, immunoelectron-microscopy and an antigcn-capture-immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results show that both antibodies can be used by various immuno-procedures to detect both redfin perch, Perca ftuviatilis L., and rainbow trout isolates of EHNV. The procedures described provide for the first time rapid and specific tests for the detection of EHNV in cultured and clinical material.     

两种检测传染性造血器官坏死病(IHNV)方法的比较

传染性造血器官坏死病(IHNV)是一种危害极其严重的鱼类疾病。本实验用一步RT-PCR法和套式PCR法对IHNV的基因进行扩增,通过扩增片段的琼脂糖电泳分析,来判定病鱼是否携带IHNV。实验结果表明,通过一步法RT-PCR可扩增出IHNV的693bp片段;通过套式PCR法可扩增出IHNV的786bp片段和323bp片段。两种方法均能够检测待测样品中含有IHNV。比较发现一步RT-PCR法比套式PCR法更加快速、简便、敏感,减少了被污染机会。

Epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus: purification and classification

Abstract. Epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV) has been isolated from redfin perch, Perca fluviatilis L., and cultured rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), in Victoria and New South Wales, Australia. On the basis of virion size, icosahedral morphology and ultrastructural characteristics of virus-infected cells, EHNV was designated as an iridovirus. The following observations outlined in this paper confirm the designation: (1) The number and complexity of proteins in purified EHNV and the ordered appearance of virus-specific proteins in infected cells are similar to that described for the iridovirus, frog virus 3 (FV3). (2) EHNV isolated from the cytoplasm of infected cells contains a lipid membrane associated with 7–9 nm capsomeric subunits containing a 52-kD protein. (3) The morphogenesis of EHNV within cytoplasmic inclusion bodies resembles that of FV3 and a piscine iridovirus isolated from goldfish, Carassius auratus (L.) (4) EHNV also resembles FV3 in its association with the cytoskeleton of infected cells. (5) EHNV DNA, like that of other iridoviruses, is resistant to digestion with HpaII, a restriction endonuclease which does not cleave DNA at CCGG sequences where the internal cytosine is methylated.

Comparative sensitivity of five fish cell lines to wild type infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus from two Oregon sources

Abstract. Five fish cell lines (CHSE-214, STE-137, RTG-2, EPC and FHM) were compared for sensitivity to infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) from samples obtained from naturally-infected fish. Infectious ovarian fluids were obtained from steelhead trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, at the Round Butte Hatchery in central Oregon and tissue homogenates were prepared from chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum), alevins during an IHN virus epizootic at the Elk River Hatchery in coastal Oregon. The only lines to show characteristic viral cytopathology by plaque or end-point dilution assay for the steelhead trout virus isolate were the EPC and FHM cell lines. The chinook salmon isolates produced CPE in CHSE-214, STE-137, FHM and EPC cells. The titre of the salmon virus isolate was 10-50-fold higher on FHM and EPC cells by both assay methods. Neither by end-point nor plaque assay did the Round Butte or Elk River isolates produce CPE on RTG-2 cells. With both virus isolants both cell lines showed that greater sensitivity was obtained with plaque assay than with end-point titration. Pre-treatment of the cells with the polycation, polybrene, did not increase the virus titre in either assay. However, a transient enhancement in virus titre was observed in polybrene-treated STE-137 and CHSE-214 cells.
