Nonsusceptibility of Primate Cells to Taura Syndrome Virus

چکیده
Taura syndrome virus (TSV), a pathogen of penaeid shrimp and member of the family Dicistroviridae, was recently reported to have the ability to infect primate cells. We independently retested this hypothesis. Three lines of primate cells FRhK-4, MA-104, and BGMK, which are highly susceptible to infection by human picornaviruses, were challenged with TSV. Viral replication was assayed by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using cell media samples collected on days 0, 4, and 7 postchallenge. By day 7, genome copy numbers had decreased 25%-99%. No cytopathic effect was observed after 7 days. An in situ hybridization assay, with gene probes specific for detection of TSV, was negative for TSV in challenged cells. The infectivity of residual virus in the cell culture media at day 7 was confirmed by bioassay using TSV-free indicator shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). TSV did not infect the primate cells tested, and no evidence of zoonotic potential was found.

در سال 1386 تلفات زیادی در میگوهای جوان گونه پاسفید در بسیاری از مزارع پرورش میگوی سایت دلوار در استان بوشهر واقع در جنوب ایران اتفاق افتاد. نشانه ظاهری میگوهای بیمار و در حال مرگ قرمزی سطح بدن، دم و زواید حرکتی بود. روده میگوها خالی و نواحی نکروزه در دم و زواید حرکتی مشاهده گردید. تعداد 200 نمونه از میگوهای بیمار جمع‌آوری و در فیکساتور دیویدسون جهت بررسی آسیب شناسی قرار داده شد. همچنین بخشی از...
متن کاملInfection of Cultured Human and Monkey Cell Lines with Extract of Penaeid Shrimp Infected with Taura Syndrome Virus
Taura syndrome virus (TSV) affects shrimp cultured for human consumption. Although TSV is related to the Cricket Paralysis virus, it belongs to the "picornavirus superfamily," the most common cause of viral illnesses. Here we demonstrate that TSV also infects human cell lines, which may suggest that Penaeus is a potential reservoir of this virus.

Taura Syndrome Virus Disease in Farm-Reared Penaeus monodon in Thailand
Taura syndrome virus (TSV) has caused major economic losses to shrimp aquaculture throughout the world. TSV has been reported to infect a number of penaeid species as hosts. In this study, we reported the natural infection of TSV in farm-reared Penaeus monodon from eastern provinces of Thailand between June to September 2004. There were different degrees of disease outbreak severity. In some ca...
