Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis First Isolation of Virus from Fish in Norway

Isolation and expression of recombinant viral protein (VP2) from Iranian isolates of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) in Escherichia coli

Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) is a member of the family Birnaviridae that has been linked to high mortalities in salmonids. Bacterial based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. VP2 is a structural viral protein of IPNV with immunogenicity effects. In this study IPNV was isolated from diseased fry ...

First isolation and identification of the Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis (IPN) virus from rainbow trout Onchorhynchus mykiss fingerlings farmed in Greece

During February 2000, two trout farms, situated in NW Greece, reported unusually high losses of hatchery reared rainbow trout fry and fingerlings. Live fish and chilled samples of diseased whole fish were delivered to a veterinary laboratory in Athens for diagnostic investigation. Infections with the fungus Ichthyophonus hoferi as well as the Gram negative bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila were di...

Apoptosis precedes necrosis of fish cell line with infectious pancreatic necrosis virus infection.

The current view of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) infection includes a necrotic process that relies primarily on the histological appearance of tissue after the degenerative process. We tested this view by examining the possibility that apoptosis is a component of double-stranded RNA virus (IPNV) that induces fish embryonic cell death. Four kinds of assays for apoptosis were used ...
