Abstract

The results of samples collected from private and government fish farms and wild and feral fish populations in Ontario from 1981 to 1995 were synthesized to obtain prevalence estimates in salmonids at both the fish and site levels for three pathogens. Renibacterium salmoninarum and Aeromonas salmonicida were both detected on at least one site for every year investigated. Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) culture stations had the highest percentages of sites with infected fish for R. salmoninarum. Natural water bodies had the highest percentages of sites with infected fish for A. salmonicida. Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) was only detected sporadically on some commercial farms and never in OMNR hatcheries or in wild or feral fish. Although screening for any virus that would yield cytopathological effect was carried out during all the years surveyed, no virus other than IPNV was isolated. The low prevalence and “source-specific” presence of IPNV in Ontario demonstrates the necessity of representative sampling for the detection of rare pathogens. It was estimated that, overall, less than 1% of all fish in the sampled populations were infected with each of the three pathogens for almost every year studied. The importance of summarizing pathogen-testing data and the possible implications on disease control policy planning and assessment are discussed.  相似文献

Leeches have been reported to harbor several important fish pathogens, including spring viremia of carp virus, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), and also may contain blood protozoa. In the present study, leeches were collected from water bodies located in Kurdistan province, Iran. The specimens were tested for IHNV, VHSV, and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) using the PCR method. The results showed that two different species of leeches, Hemiclepsis marginata and Hirudo medicinalis, were infected by IPNV among the seven species studied. The infected leeches were found in areas that were polluted with untreated sewage coming from upstream fish farms culturing Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. In addition, the fish at fish farms in the vicinity had been infected with IPNV 9 months previously. Our results showed that the virus causing infectious pancreatic necrosis is present in the leeches H. marginata and H. medicinalis, suggesting that leeches are a potential source of IPNV in fish farms.

Abstract

A virus adsorption-elution (viradel) method for use with positively charged microporous filters was previously developed in our laboratory to concentrate waterborne infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). In the present study, this method was evaluated for the detection of IPNV in water of laboratory aquaria containing IPNV-infected rainbow trout Onchorhynchus mykiss. Waterborne IPNV samples concentrated by the viradel method were compared with samples of sediment, fish tissue homogenate, and untreated water to determine how much the viradel method could improve rapidity and efficiency of virus detection. Results of three separate experiments indicated a significant, positive correlation between the virus titers in fish tissue and in the viradel method samples and between the sediment and untreated water samples.  相似文献

Abstract

Using fingerlings of brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis naturally infected with infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), we demonstrated that elevated water temperature and treatment with the immunosuppressant triamcinolone acetonide (generic Kenalog®) significantly increases the titer of IPNV and probably also the prevalence of the infection. Stress-promoting treatments could potentially enhance the capability to detect various fish viral agents.  相似文献

Abstract

Fry of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss were exposed to serotype VR-299 of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) by using a standardized immersion challenge. In concurrent experiments, fish were monitored for 11 d for excretion of IPNV or monitored for 9 d for excretion and transmission of IPNV to susceptible rainbow trout fry. Immersion-challenged fish began excreting virus within 2 d after challenge. The rate of IPNV excretion per fish increased steadily from about day 4 to day 8 and then decreased. Virus concentrations in tissues of immersion-challenged fish increased exponentially. Susceptible fish became infected with IPNV within 4 d after being introduced to immersion-challenged fish (e.g., 2 d after the challenged fish began excreting virus). By 9 d, 84% of the susceptible fish were infected with IPNV.  相似文献

Abstract

Adult rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss were immunized with formalin-inactivated, concentrated infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). Although the immune response was variable among fish inoculated with a given virus type, sera were obtained that contained high titers of antibodies against known representatives of each of the three major serotypes and several unclassified field isolates of IPNV. Preparations of semipurified macroglobulins from the rainbow trout were subsequently used for comparative cross-neutralization testing of viruses. Cross-reactions were generally low between serotypes; however, diversity and heterogeneity existed among viral isolates from North American hatcheries (e.g., within serotype 1). For example, the Jasper subtype was clearly serologically distinguishable from other western Canadian isolates and from typical eastern Canadian isolates, which were similar to U.S. isolate VR 299. Specific salmonid immunoglobulin is suggested as a possible supplemental reagent, together with mammalian polyclonal and monoclonal antibody, for determining the epidemiology of IPNV in North America.  相似文献

A cross-neutralization test was used to study the antigenic relationship of an aquabirnavirus isolated from sole (Solea senegalensis), named solevirus, and several infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) strains. Solevirus was antigenically similar to IPNV strain Sp. Transmission of the solevirus to other fish species has been determined by inoculation to freshwater and marine fish species (two salmonids and gilt-head seabream). A higher pathogenicity was obtained for the marine fish species, although solevirus caused an asymptomatic infection in all species tested, as demonstrated by the detection of viral RNA and of viral antigens in fish leucocytes, respectively, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and flow cytometry (FC).  相似文献

Infectious pancreatic necrosis is a disease that is causing increasing loses to Scottish Atlantic-salmon farms. I asked the question: is infection of individual salmon farms persistent or transient? Using Fisheries Research Services' Fish Health Inspectors' data, conditional probabilities that a farm would (time 0) be infected were estimated for farms that had been infected [P(I(0)|I(-T))] or free [P(I(0)|F(-T))] from infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) when a sample was taken at some earlier time (-T). A logistic-regression model was used to estimate these conditional probabilities with T; this model was multilevel to account for regional and inter-annual level differences in prevalence of IPNV. In freshwater, conditional probabilities remained substantially different for periods of at least 4 years, so, although many farms did change infection status, IPNV either persisted or recurred at specific freshwater farms. Marine farms showed similar conditional probabilities after about 2 years following a positive or a negative sample, indicating that infection was transient. Management of larger areas and exchanges between farms might be more effective than farm-level management at controlling marine IPNV.  相似文献

Abstract

Little scientific information is available to assess whether White Sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus can become infected and potential carriers of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). To assess this risk, monitoring results of adult and progeny White Sturgeon were examined from waters historically stocked with salmonid fish known to be IPNV carriers. From 1999 through 2004 White Sturgeon from a total of 30 separate families whose parentage came from waters historically stocked with IPNV carrier fish were tested. Duplicate groups of 25 juvenile Snake River White Sturgeon were waterborne exposed to 1.0×104 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50)/mL of water for 1 h and an additional group was injected intraperitoneally with 1.0×105 TCID50/fish. A negative control group was handled similarly but was not exposed to the virus. No morbidity was detected in any of the treatment groups or the negative control. At 34, 40, 47, and 54 d postexposure to IPNV, virus reisolation was attempted on five fish from each group, and an additional five fish from each group were examined for histological changes consistent with an IPNV infection. At 34 and 40 d postinjection with IPNV, 20% (one of five) of the fish tested positive for the virus per sample interval; however, fish from groups that were waterborne-exposed to IPNV were all negative. At 47 and 54 d after exposure or injection with IPNV an additional five fish from each group were tested at each sample interval and all results were negative. Histological analysis of target tissue obtained from five fish per group at 34 and 54 d postinfection also failed to detect any consistent change associated with an IPNV infection. These results suggest that the risk of White Sturgeon to become infected and develop into potential carriers of IPNV is negligible.

Marine farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is growing rapidly in Norway, and fish diseases have now become one of the biggest obstacles for this new industry. Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is commonly found in fish from Norwegian sea farms. Diagnosis of IPNV infection is, at present, mainly based on virus isolation in cell cultures and identification by neutralization tests (NT). A DNA-RNA hybridization assay was developed using a 24 base DNA oligonucleotide probe. This is homologous to a part of the nucleotide sequence of the IPNV genome coding for a protease. RNA extracted from IPNV and harvest from infected cell cultures were fixed to nylon filters and hybridized with the 32P end-labelled probe. The results showed that the probe specifically identified IPNV from these two materials, both for the three different virus strains (Ab, Sp and VR-299) used, and for several different field isolates. It did not hybridize with reoviruses or non-infected cell cultures used as controls. These results indicate that the probe is not serotype specific, and furthermore that RNA extraction is not required before hybridization. This method may be a useful alternative to NT for routine identification of IPNV, particularly when non-radioactive labelling of the probe is introduced.  相似文献

Abstract

Infectious salmon anemia (ISA) is a viral disease of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar that have been exposed to seawater in fish farms or hatcheries. This disease was previously believed to be exclusively one of salmon. However, it has been shown that anadromous brown trout Salmo trutta may carry the ISA virus (ISAV). Propagation of the ISAV in brown trout without the trout's showing any gross clinical signs of disease could be a result of a longstanding host-pathogen relationship between the virus and brown trout. A brown trout population isolated from the sea during the last 5,000 years and expected to be naive to the virus was challenged. These fish did not develop any gross signs of disease, but a few ISAVs were present as late as 46 d postchallenge. It was also shown that the ISA virus was present in brown trout as late as 7 months after challenge.  相似文献

A double antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). The ELISA detected VR299 strain of IPNV at a dose of 10 to 20 ng of purified IPNV protein or 10(4) TCID50 in tissue culture fluid. Specificity of ELISA was demonstrated by an ELISA inhibition test. The ELISA did not detect infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus. Normal cell culture fluid and virus-non-inoculated rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson) homogenate did not react in the test system. The IPNV was detected in rainbow trout fry inoculated with IPNV. Although infective virus titer in fish decreased rapidly 1 week after inoculation, IPNV antigen was detected by ELISA for 15 days. The IPNV antigen was detected in the fish tissue after inactivation of infective virus. The ELISA is a rapid and reliable method for the diagnosis of IPNV infection.  相似文献

Atlantic salmon were selected from a fish farm with no previous record of pancreas disease (PD) or infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) infection. Groups of fish were inoculated with either IPNV (strain Sp) from cell culture, organ material from fish with PD or control material as phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Virological, histological and immunohistochemical examinations were carried out throughout the experiment. None of the fish died or showed clinical symptoms of PD. Histological examination revealed no pathological changes, and immunohistochemical studies were negative. Virus was isolated only sporadically from the group inoculated with organ material, whereas it was isolated consistently from the group inoculated with virus propagated in cell culture, as well as from in-contact control fish after the first week. In a latent carrier test, changes were entirely lacking in the first mentioned group, and were only slight in the last mentioned group. The data suggest that PD is not a transmissible disease, and that IPNV isolated from a PD outbreak does not play any part in the etiology of this disease.  相似文献

Abstract

The infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV; genus Aquabirnavirus) affects salmon and trout, causing high mortality in first-feeding fry. The classification of this virus includes nine serotypes and seven genogroups. In Mexico, two different isolates were identified in 2000 and 2008, respectively. Both isolates were classified into genogroup I according to the RNA genome of this virus. As Mexico is importing rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss eggs from different countries, the aim of this study was to genotype IPNV isolates obtained from four rainbow trout producer regions within the state of Mexico. We utilized a fragment of the VP2* (outer capsid protein) gene sequence of Mexican IPNV isolates as a molecular marker to determine the genogroup to which they belong. Although all Mexican IPNV isolates were grouped into genogroup I, we identified genetic diversity among these isolates, and 14 unique nucleotide sequence types were associated with the four producer regions in Mexico State.

Diagnostic testing was performed between 2000 and 2012 to determine the distribution of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in the main states of the Mexican Republic with freshwater Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum) farms. This virus was positively identified from Rainbow Trout farms in seven of the eight states assessed. Due to nonnormal data distribution, a logistic regression model was applied for statistical analysis, the results of which indicated that virus prevalence was variable between states, with moderate but significant differences. Regarding the time periods evaluated, IPNV prevalence was higher during the first years of the study. The susceptible, infected, removed model was used to examine this phenomenon, which indicated that the decreased prevalence during the latter years of the study could be associated with a real elimination of the infection. The information of the cases analyzed also suggests a relationship with the irregularity in the submission of samples to the laboratory and emphasizes other factors that have contributed to the transmission of IPNV throughout the country.

Corticosteroids have been reported to induce immunosuppression in fish exposed to many types of bacterial antigens. We document a similar phenomenon in fish exposed to infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). Fingerling striped bass that were injected with the steroid triamcinolone acetonide (100 mg/kg body weight) 24 hours before receiving intraperitoneal inoculation with IPNV became viremic 3 days post inoculation (dpi) and virus was still detected in the buffy coat cells 14 dpi. In contrast, viremia could not be detected after 7 dpi in fish that received virus but not steroids. Circulating virus neutralizing antibodies were first detected in steroid treated fish at 10 dpi compared to 7 dpi for the virus injected fish and titers were consistently lower in the steroid group. Steroid treatment of chronic IPNV-carriers did not induce detectable viremia nor alter circulating antibody levels in chronic IPNV-carriers. None of the striped bass demonstrated clinical signs of viral disease.  相似文献
