Comparative pathogenesis of three strains of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Three strains of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) were compared for their pathogenicity to alevin rainbow trout Oncorhynchus n~ykiss by waterborne exposure of the trout to approximately equal concentrations of each virus strain The Idaho strain of IHNV (Type 2) was the most virulent and induced a 62 % mortality over a 10 d period at water temperatures of 10°C. In contrast, strains of IHNV from Oregon (Type 1) and California (Type 3) caused only 4 and 6 % mortality, respectively, among rainbow trout infected under the same conditions. Histopathological signs of infection (hematopoietic necrosis) were first detected 3 to 4 d following exposure to virus. In trout exposed to the Idaho strain of IHNV, lesions were severe and progressive. The Oregon and California strains of the virus induced similar changes in the kidney, spleen, and pancreas but these were less severe, and by 8 to 10 d following exposure had resolved in most of the fish. These results showed the Type 2 strain to be the most pathogenic for rainbow trout.

Mx mRNA expression and RFLP analysis of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss genetic crosses selected for susceptibility or resistance to IHNV.
Three interferon-inducible Mx genes have been identified in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and their roles in virus resistance have yet to be determined. In mice, expression of the Mx1 protein is associated with resistance to influenza virus. We report a study to determine whether there was a correlation between the expression of Mx in rainbow trout and resistance to a fish rhabdovirus, infe...
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...
متن کاملGenotyping 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...

Backcrosses of rainbow trout and steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were used to construct a linkage map and to identify associations between molecular markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL) determining resistance to infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV). The sire map covers 1019 centimorgans (cM), and it is composed of 257 molecular markers [185 amplified fragment length polymorphisms...
