Molecular differentiation of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus isolates from farmed and wild salmonids in Ireland

Molecular differentiation of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus isolates from farmed and wild salmonids in Ireland.

This study investigated the genotypes and sub-groups of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) present in farmed and wild salmonid fish in Ireland. An 1100-bp portion of the VP2 region of segment A from each of 55 IPNV isolates collected over 2003-2007 was amplified by reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction and the product directly sequenced. The nucleotide sequences of each isola...

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 ...

Genotyping of Flavobacterium psychrophilum isolates from wild and farmed salmonids in Norway and Chile

Flavobacterium psychrophilum, a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae, has from the first descriptions in North America, been distributed to many countries worldwide causing serious losses to the aquaculture industry. The Norwegian and Chilean aquacultures are also affected by outbreaks due to F. psychrophilum. The bacterium has been one of the most common causes of mortality in fresh water aq...
