Epidemiological characteristics of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV): a review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV, Rhabdoviridae), is the causative agent of infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN), a disease notifiable to the World Organisation for Animal Health, and various countries and trading areas (including the European Union). IHNV is an economically important pathogen causing clinical disease and mortalities in a wide variety of salmonid species, including the main salmonid species produced in aquaculture, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). We reviewed the scientific literature on IHNV on a range of topics, including geographic distribution; host range; conditions required for infection and clinical disease; minimum infectious dose; subclinical infection; shedding of virus by infected fish; transmission via eggs; diagnostic tests; pathogen load and survival of IHNV in host tissues. This information is required for a range of purposes including import risk assessments; parameterisation of disease models; for surveillance planning; and evaluation of the chances of eradication of the pathogen to name just a few. The review focuses on issues that are of relevance for the European context, but many of the data summarised have relevance to IHN globally. Examples for application of the information is presented and data gaps highlighted.

Genotyping of Isolated Viruses from Rainbow Trout (oncorhynchus Mykiss) in Croatia
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) are important pathogens in rainbow trout aquaculture. Detection of these viruses in Croatia initiated investigation of their genetic relatedness to the worldwide IHNV and IPNV isolates. For this purpose, determination of nucleotide sequences of G and NV genes for IHNV and VP2/NS region for IPNV was pe...
متن کاملStaphylococcal coagglutination, a rapid method of identifying infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus.
A staphylococcal coagglutination test was developed for the rapid detection of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) in cell cultures and infected fish. The test could be completed in 15 min but required a minimum IHNV titer of 10(6) PFU/ml to obtain a positive reaction. All IHNV isolates, representing the five electropherotypes taken from a wide variety of species and different geogra...
متن کاملInvolvement of rainbow trout leucocytes in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis
Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus myluss leucocytes were tested for their ability to support replication of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). Viral replication occurred in vitro uslng leucocytes cultured from peripheral blood, kidney, and thymus where viral titers peaked at 2 to 4 d post-inoculation. Leucocytes collected from trout following waterborne challenge with IHNV were cocultured...

Novel form of fibronectin from zebrafish mediates infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus infection.
The presence of a novel form of zebrafish fibronectin (FN2) on the cell surface increased the cell's susceptibility to infection by infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). Unlike other fibronectins, FN2 possesses a truncated structure and accumulates on the cell surface instead of in the extracellular matrix. Fish embryo cells expressing recombinant FN2 were more susceptible to IHNV inf...
