We have previously described the development of a onetube SYBR Green real-time RT-PCR assay for the detection and quantitation of infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) in various biological samples. The twofold aim of the present study was to verify that the optimized SYBR Green real-time RT-PCR conditions could detect ISAV isolates of different geographic origins, and to analyze the growth pat...

The current view of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) infection includes a necrotic process that relies primarily on the histological appearance of tissue after the degenerative process. We tested this view by examining the possibility that apoptosis is a component of double-stranded RNA virus (IPNV) that induces fish embryonic cell death. Four kinds of assays for apoptosis were used ...

Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), a member of the virus family Birnaviridae, causes an acute, contagious disease in a number of economically important fish species. CHSE-214, a Chinook salmon embryonic cell line, when infected by IPNV showed morphological and biochemical features of apoptosis, including an intense DNA laddering pattern and blebbing of the plasma membrane, followed by...

Infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) was isolated at a marine grow-out site in New Brunswick, Canada, from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar which experienced mortalities due to hemorrhagic kidney syndrome (HKS). Of 20 fish sampled in this study, 14 showed histologically various degrees of interstitial hemorrhaging, tubular epithelial degeneration and necrosis, and tubular casts in the posterior kid...

هدف از این مطالعه بررسی اثر آب تهی شده دوتریم (DDW) در غلظت­های مشخص بر روی سلول­های 29HT- و 480SW- بود. رده­های سلولی محیط RPMI حاوی مختلف DDW به مدت 24، 48 72 ساعت کشت داده شدند سپس درصد بقای روش سنجش سمیت مبتنی برMTT تعیین شد. یافته­ها نقش توأم کاهش افزایش زمان تیمار را مهار رشد اثبات رساند. کم­ترین میزان برای طی با غلظت ppm 30 ترتیب 23% 37% دست آمد. جهت اثرات جانبی دوتریم، طبیعی 12C2C نیز ت...

Piscirickettsia salmonis was grown in established insect, frog, and fish tissue culture cells. The yield of P. salmonis in Sf21 cells was up to 100 times that obtained in CHSE-214 cells, and virulence for Atlantic salmon was retained. The ceiling temperature for growth of P. salmonis in Sf21 cells was 24 degrees C.

Piscirickettsia salmonis (P. salmonis) is a Gram-negative aquatic pathogen that causes piscirickettsiosis, a contagious systemic disease which was first described in coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum) cultured in sea net pens (Fryer et al. 1990). Since then, this condition has been detected in a variety of teleost fish from distant geographical regions in the world, but so far it has be...
