Prevalence of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus on Salmonid Fish Farms in Spain
Abstract:Abstract

In Spain, salmonid fish farming was commercially developed in the 1960s, and now there are 140 private farms that depend heavily on imported embryonate eggs. Infectious pancreatic necrosis was first clinically diagnosed in Spain in 1970, but the virus (IPNV) was not isolated and identified until 1980. Since that time, researchers have isolated IPNV from other samples in Spain. A diagnostic survey was conducted to determine how prevalent IPNV is on fish farms in Spain and whether the virus has been responsible for some of the major financial losses occurring every year on these farms. In total, 236 samplings of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss from 31 farms in eight hydrographic areas were done over a 3-year period. Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus was isolated in 94 cases, and serotyping of the viral strains revealed that 81% of these isolates were strain Sp and 19% were strain Ab. Neither IPNV strain VR-299 nor rhabdovirus (as infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus or viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus) was detected in any of the samples.
