对虾白斑综合征病毒中国地方株变异区基因的比较

对虾白斑综合征病毒(White spot syndromevirus,WSSV)是对虾养殖的主要病原之一,它是目前发现的基因组最大的动物病毒,为环状双链DNA病毒[1,2],全基因组序列分析结果显示,对虾白斑综合征病毒和其他杆状病毒相差甚远,最新病毒分类报告已将该病毒划归新建立的线头病毒科(Nima-viridae)白斑病毒属(Whispovirus)[3,4]。目前Gen-Bank公布有3个版本的WSSV全序列[1,2],其基因组大小的测定结果相差较大。不同的WSSV毒株可能在形态结构、理化性质上无法区分,但病毒基因组限制酶切片段长度多态性(RFLP)可以将之区分开来,Marks等[6,7]通过计…     

多重RT-PCR同时检测鉴别三种对虾病毒的研究与应用

根据基因库中对虾桃拉综合征病毒（TSV）、白斑综合征病毒（WSSV）、传染性皮下和造血器官坏死病毒（IHHNV）的基因序列,分别设计了三对特异性引物,通过对多重RT—PCR扩增条件的优化,研究建立了可同时检测鉴别TSV、WSSV和IHHNV的多重RT—PCR。该技术对同一样品中的TSV RNA、WSSV DNA和IHHNV DNA模板进行扩增,结果均同时得到3条大小与实验设计相符的231bp（TSV）、593bp（WSSV）和356bp（IHHNV）的特异性多重RT—PCR扩增带,对其它对虾病原核酸的扩增结果为阴性。敏感性试验结果表明,该技术最低能检测到10pgTSV RNA、100pg WSSV DNA和100pg IHHNV DNA。临床检测试验结果表明,该技术对TSV、WSSV和I—HHNV的检出率明显高于传统的临床症状观察和组织病理学检查,提示该技术适用于这三种病毒的临床快速检测和鉴别诊断。

注意杆状病毒科分类的变化

杆状病毒由于被广泛用作目的基因的表达载体倍受重视.近年来证实某些杆状病毒对虾具有致病性,从而成为研究热点之一.目前公认的最重要的对虾致病病毒是对虾白斑综合征病毒(white spot syndromviruS,WSSV),在我国养殖对虾中广为流行,引致重大经济损失.不少文献将WSSV称作对虾白斑病杆状病毒,其实并不准确.     

油桐尺蠖核型多角体病毒（羊楼洞株）基因组特性

White spot syndrome virus isolates of tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon (Fabricious) in India are similar to exotic isolates as revealed by polymerase chain reaction and electron microscopy

Microbiological analysis of samples collected from cases of white spot disease outbreaks in cultured shrimp in different farms located in three regions along East Coast of India viz. Chidambram (Tamil Nadu), Nellore (Andhra Pradesh) and Balasore (Orissa), revealed presence of Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Aeromonas spp. but experimental infection trials in Penaeus monodon with these isolates did not induce any acute mortality or formation of white spots on carapace. Infection trials using filtered tissue extracts by oral and injection method induced mortality in healthy P. monodon with all samples and 100% mortality was noted by the end of 7 day post-inoculation. Histopathological analysis demonstrated degenerated cells characterized by hypertrophied nuclei in gills, hepatopancreas and lymphoid organ with presence of intranuclear basophilic or eosino-basophilic bodies in tubular cells and intercellular spaces. Analysis of samples using 3 different primer sets as used by other for detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) generated 643, 1447 and 520bp amplified DNA products in all samples except in one instance. Variable size virions with mean size in the range of 110 x 320 +/- 20 nm were observed under electron microscope. It could be concluded that the viral isolates in India involved with white spot syndrome in cultured shrimp are similar to RV-PJ and SEMBV in Japan, WSBV in Taiwan and WSSV in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, China and Japan.     

对虾白斑病毒感染的电子显微镜观察及DNA杂交证据

中国大陆养殖的中国对虾从1993年开始至今连年爆发病 毒性流行病,俗称“白斑病”(WSBV),死亡率近100%,造成巨大经济损失。为进一步明确虾病暴发原因,利用电子显微镜技术,对1993年至1998年收集的发病中国对虾组织进行观察,发现病原体为直径(125±76)nm、长约(345±16)nm大小的带包膜的非包涵体型杆状病毒。 经氯化铯密度梯度超速离心技术获得了纯化的病毒核衣壳,大小为(80±13)nm×(380±24)nm。形态学特征与台湾地区发现的白斑杆状病毒(WSBV)相似。利用地高辛标记的WSBV DNA探针对病虾标本及纯化病毒DNA进行斑点杂交检测,均呈阳性反应,而与正常对虾组织无杂交反应。从形态学及分子生物学角度证明WSBV感染是造成中国大陆养殖对虾连年暴发流行病的重要原因。     

Detection by PCR of hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) and other viruses in hatchery-reared Penaeus monodon postlarvae

The prevalence of hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV), monodon baculovirus (MBV) and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in samples of Penaeus monodon postlarvae (PL10 to PL20, 10 to 20 d old postlarvae) in India was studied by PCR. Samples collected from different hatcheries, and also samples submitted by farmers from different coastal states, were analyzed. HPV was detected in 34%) of the hatchery samples and 31% of the samples submitted by farmers, using a primer set designed for detection of HPV from P. monodon in Thailand. However, none of these samples were positive using primers designed for detection of HPV from P. chinensis in Korea. This indicated that HPV from India was more closely related to HPV from P. monodon in Thailand. MBV was detected in 64% of the samples submitted by the farmers and 71% of the hatchery samples. A total of 84 % of the samples submitted by farmers, and 91% of the hatchery samples, were found positive for WSSV. Prevalence of concurrent infections by HPV, MBV and WSSV was 27% in hatchery samples and 29%, in samples submitted by farmers. Only 8% of the hatchery samples and 16% of the samples submitted by farmers were negative for all 3 viruses. This is the first report on the prevalence of HPV in P. monodon postlarvae from India.     

Differences in the susceptibility of some penaeid prawn species to gill-associated virus (GAV) infection

Four species of penaeid prawn cultured in Australia (Penaeus monodon, Penaeus esculentus, Marsupenaeus japonicus and Fenneropenaeus merguiensis) were injected with a virulent preparation of gill-associated virus (GAV). P. monodon (average weight = 8.9, 13.9 and 19.2 g), P. esculentus (average weight = 19.5 g), F. merguiensis (average weight = 10.5 g), and small (average weight = 5.8 g) M. japonicus displayed overt signs of disease and mortalities which reached 82 to 100% within 23 d post-injection. Cumulative mortalities in P. esculentus and F. merguiensis were significantly lower than for P. monodon of the same size class. Medium (average weight = 13.0 g) M. japonicus also developed overt signs of disease but cumulative mortalities were not significantly higher than uninfected controls. Large (average weight = 20.3 g) M. japoncius did not display symptoms of disease and there were no significant mortalities up to 23 d post-injection.     

中国对虾呼肠孤样病毒感染的电镜观察

呼肠孤病毒在自然界广泛存在于脊椎动物、无脊椎动物和植物中.水产动物呼肠孤病毒感染曾见于鱼、贝、蟹.近几年随着对对虾病毒病害研究的日益重视,在对虾中也发现呼肠孤病毒的感染.Tsing等[1]最早于1987年在法国南部养殖的日本对虾(P.japonicus)幼虾中发现呼肠孤病毒感染.Krol等[2]于1990年在试验感染的南美白对虾(P.vannamei)中发现呼肠孤样病毒与对虾杆状病毒混合感染.中国大陆养殖的中国对虾自1993年全面暴发流行病以来,许多学者进行了对虾流行病的病原学、流行病学及诊断和防治方法的研究,部分学者曾在中国对虾(P.chinensis)中观察到呼肠孤样病毒颗粒[3],但未报道较详细的电子显微镜观察资料.     

Hepatopancreatic nuclease of black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon unlikely to be involved in viral triggered apoptosis

Nucleases are phosphodiesterases that hydrolyze DNA and/or RNA. In a search for shrimp nucleases involved in apoptosis, we discovered a nuclease from hepatopancreatic cDNA of the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon. The full-length nuclease gene was amplified and revealed to contain 1668bp corresponding to 381 deduced amino acid residues in the mature enzyme. Sequence analysis indicated 83% nucleic acid identity and 89% amino acid identity to a nuclease from the Kuruma shrimp Penaeus japonicus (also called Marsupenaeus japonicus). Comparative analysis of sequences, conserved motifs and phylogenetic trees indicated that P. monodon nuclease (PMN) belonged to the family of DNA/RNA non-specific endonucleases (DRNSN). RT-PCR analysis using primers specific for PMN mRNA with seven different shrimp tissues revealed that expression in normal shrimp was restricted to the hepatopancreas. Semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis of PMN using hepatopancreatic mRNA from normal shrimp and from shrimp challenged with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) indicated significant up-regulation of PMN in the hepatopancreas (P<0.05) at the early stage of viral infection but a return to baseline levels as gross signs of disease developed. At the same time, expression was always confined to the hepatopancreas and never seen in other tissues, including those reported to be prime targets for WSSV and subject to increased levels of apoptosis after infection. The results suggested that PMN is probably a digestive enzyme that is unlikely to be involved in hallmark DNA digestion associated with apoptosis.     

Quasi-immune response of Penaeus japonicus to penaeid rod-shaped DNA virus (PRDV)

A quasi-immune response was demonstrated in kuruma prawn Penaeus japonicus infected naturally or experimentally with PRDV (penaeid rod-shaped DNA virus, also called white spot syndrome virus or WSSV), the causative agent of PAV (penaeid acute viremia). In the first step of this study, natural survivors 4 mo after a PAV outbreak demonstrated 94 % relative percent survival (RPS) upon experimental PRDV challenge. Mortalities after challenge were confirmed by PRDV detection to be due to PAV using a PCR method. In the second step, experimental PAV survivors were produced by intramuscular (IM) injection of PRDV into naive shrimp subsequently reared collectively in a tank (A group) or individually in chamber units (B group). Survival was 41 and 90% in the A and B groups, respectively. A subsequent IM re-challenge of these PRDV survivor groups with PRDV made 32 d after the first challenge revealed a protective response with high RPS of 77 and 64%, respectively. These high survival rates suggested that PAV survivors (natural or experimental) were able to resist PRDV infection and that the resistance was not due to selection of naturally resistant shrimp during a PAV outbreak, but due to enhancement of an immune-like system (quasi-immune response) after exposure to PRDV. No PRDV neutralizing activity was revealed in the serum of the 4 mo natural survivors of the PRDV outbreak. However, it was found in their serum 17 d after they had been experimentally challenged with PRDV.     

Analysis of variable genomic loci in white spot syndrome virus to predict its origins in Procambarus clarkii crayfish farmed in China

Variable genomic loci were examined in 4 white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) isolates (08HB, 09HB, 08JS and 09JS) from Procambarus clarkii crayfish collected from Jiangsu and Hubei Provinces in China in 2008 and 2009. In ORF75, sequence variation detected in the 4 isolates, as well as in isolates sequenced previously, suggested that WSSV might have segregated into 2 lineages since first emerging as a serious pathogen of farmed shrimp in East Asia in the early-mid 1990s, with one lineage remaining in East Asia and the other separating to South Asia. In ORF23/24, deletions of 9.31, 10.97, or 11.09 kb were evident compared to a reference isolate from Taiwan (WSSV-TW), and, in ORF14/15, deletions of 5.14 or 5.95 kb were evident compared to a reference isolate from Thailand with the largest genome size (TH-96-II). With respect to these genome characteristics, the crayfish isolates 08HB, 09HB and 08JS were similar to WSSV-TW and the isolate 09JS was similar to a reference isolate from China (WSSV-CN). In addition to these loci, sequence variation was evident in ORF94 and ORF125 that might be useful for differentiating isolates and in epidemiological tracing of WSSV spread in crayfish farmed in China. However, as all 4 crayfish isolates possessed a Homologous Region 9 sequence identical to isolate WSSV-TW and another Thailand isolate (WSSV-TH), and as their transposase sequence was identical to isolates WSSV-CN and WSSV-TH, these 2 loci were not useful in predicting their origins.     

Prevalence of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in wild shrimp Penaeus monodon in the Philippines

Prevalence of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) was determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methodology on DNA extracted from the gills of wild black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon collected from 7 sampling sites in the Philippines. These 7 sampling sites are the primary sources of spawners and broodstock for hatchery use. During the dry season, WSSV was detected in shrimp from all sites except Bohol, but during the wet season it was not detected in any site except Palawan. None of the WSSV-PCR positive shrimp showed signs of white spots in the cuticle. Prevalence of WSSV showed seasonal variations, i.e. prevalence in dry season (April to May) was higher than in the wet season (August to October). These results suggest that WSSV has already become established in the local marine environment and in wild populations of P. monodon. Thus, broodstock collected during the dry season could serve as the main source of WSSV contamination in shrimp farms due to vertical transmission of the virus in hatcheries.
