immunization of litopenaeus vannamei shrimp against white spot syndrome virus (wssv) by gamma-irradiated wssv plus vibrio paraheomolyticus
Authors
abstract
introduction: white spot syndrome virus (wssv) is one of the most deadly infectious pathogens of the shrimp culture industry. neither effective vaccines nor efficient treatments are currently available for this disease. vibrio species are well known dominant bacterial pathogens in the shrimp ponds. as facultative pathogenic bacteria, it is possible that vibrio spp. along with wssv to co-infect the shrimp species such as litopenaeus vannamei. the aim of this study was to investigate the co-administration of gamma-irradiated vibrio paraheomolyticus as a kind of probiotic and immune-stimulator with gamma-irradiated and inactivated wssv as an intramuscular vaccine for protection of l. vannamei against wssv infection. methods: wssv was isolated from the infected shrimp samples and multiplied in astacus leptodactylus crayfish. titration of wssv was obtained in post-larvae as 105.4 ld50/ml. the virus was irradiated where d10 value and optimum dose of gamma ray were calculated to be 2.56 and 15 kgy, respectively. the gamma-irradiated wssv samples, named gi-wssv were used as a vaccine to immunize l. vannamei shrimps. the freeze-dried v. paraheomolyticus cultures, inactivated by gamma ray (8 kgy) were named gi-v.p and used as a probiotic. results: protective dose50 was calculated as 5.61 and 7.94 for the shrimp groups which were vaccinated by gi–wssv vaccine and gi-wssv vaccine + gi-v.p, respectively. calculated rps values were 73.3%, 86.66% and 26.66% for the gi-wssv vaccine, gi-wssv + gi-v.p and isolated probiotic groups, respectively. significant differences in cumulative mortalities were observed between the vaccination groups and the positive control group (p < 0.05). no significant difference was observed in cumulative mortalities between the two vaccination groups (p > 0.05). conclusion: gi-wssv vaccine can induce immune responses in shrimps infected with wssv and probiotic gi-v.p enhances these responses.

As earlier observations on peroral infectivity of WSSV in white-legged shrimp are conflicting, here, a standardized peroral intubation technique was used to examine (i) the role of the physical composition of the viral inoculum and (ii) the barrier function of the PM. In a first experiment, the infectivity of a WSSV stock was compared by determining the SID50 by intramuscular injection, peroral...

Envelope Proteins of White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) Interact with Litopenaeus vannamei Peritrophin-Like Protein (LvPT)
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a major pathogen in shrimp cultures. The interactions between viral proteins and their receptors on the surface of cells in a frontier target tissue are crucial for triggering an infection. In this study, a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) library was constructed using cDNA obtained from the stomach and gut of Litopenaeus vannamei, to ascertain the role of envelope pro...

This study was carried out for the molecular level identification of recombinant protein vaccine efficacy, by oral feeding against white spot syndrome virus infection, with the comparison of viral mRNA transcriptional levels in shrimp cells. For the determination of WSSV dilution ratio for the vaccination experiment by oral feeding, in vivo virus titration was carried out using different virus ...
full textGene set based association analyses for the WSSV resistance of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is regarded as a virus with the strongest pathogenicity to shrimp. For the threshold trait such as disease resistance, marker assisted selection (MAS) was considered to be a more effective approach. In the present study, association analyses of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in a set of immune related genes were conducted to identify markers asso...
