An in situ hybridisation method was developed to detect infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) in fixed tissues from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. Three DNA probes detected ISAV in heart, liver, kidney, spleen, caeca, and mid-gut from infected farmed Atlantic salmon obtained from a natural outbreak of ISA. The strongest signals were obtained using Probe S8, from Segment 8 of ISAV. Hybridisation was most prominent in the endothelial cells of heart tissue. The probes reacted specifically with ISAV; no hybridisation was evident in uninfected tissues from Atlantic salmon. Importantly, the probes did not cross react with the pathogens IHNV (haematopoietic necrosis virus), IPNV (infectious pancreatic necrosis virus), SPDV (salmon pancreas disease virus) and VHSV (viral haemorrhagic septicemia virus). 相似文献

In order to investigate the potential role of blue mussels Mytilus edulis as a vector of the fish pathogenic infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV), we developed an experimental bioaccumulation system in which mussels can accumulate virus during normal filtration. Detection of virus in mussels was performed by means of real-time RT-PCR. ISAV-RNA was detected in the mussels until 72 h post-challenge. Hepatopancreas homogenate from experimentally challenged mussels was injected into salmon. All the fish injected with homogenate prepared immediately after accumulations were strongly ISAV positive 4 wk post-challenge. In the group injected with homogenate prepared 24 h after the challenge, 1 fish out of 25 was weakly ISAV positive. All of the fish that were challenged with mussel homogenate prepared 96 h after accumulation were ISAV negative. Mussels sampled from a tank with experimentally infected salmon demonstrating clinical signs consistent with ISA (infectious salmon anaemia) and mussels collected on net pen cages during ISA outbreaks in Atlantic salmon were all ISAV negative. The results indicate that the ISAV is rapidly inactivated in mussels and that mussels are not a likely reservoir host or vector for ISAV. 相似文献

Type I interferons (IFN) establish an antiviral state in vertebrate cells by inducing expression of Mx and other antiviral proteins. We have studied the effect of Atlantic salmon interferon-like activity (AS-IFN) and poly I:C on the Mx protein expression and antiviral activity against infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in the Atlantic salmon cell lines SHK-1 and TO. The double-stranded RNA poly I:C is an inducer of type I IFN in vertebrates. A cell cytotoxicity assay and measurements of virus yield were used to measure protection of cells against virus infection. Maximal induction of Mx protein in TO and SHK-1 cells occurred 48 h after poly I:C stimulation and 24 h after AS-IFN stimulation. TO cells pretreated with AS-IFN or poly I:C were protected from infection with IPNV 24 to 96 h after stimulation. Poly I:C or AS-IFN induced a minor protection against ISAV infection in SHK-1 cells, but no protection was induced against ISAV in TO cells. Western blot analysis showed that ISAV induced expression of Mx protein in TO and SHK-1 cells whereas IPNV did not induce Mx protein expression. These results suggest that ISAV and IPNV have very different sensitivities to IFN-induced antiviral activity and have developed different strategies to avoid the IFN-system of Atlantic salmon. Moreover, Atlantic salmon Mx protein appears not to inhibit replication of ISAV. 相似文献

Wild-caught saithe Pollachius virens were experimentally exposed to an isolate of infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) of Norwegian origin. Mortality attributable to ISAV did not occur following exposure by intra-peritoneal (i.p.) injection of virus or by cohabitation with ISAV-infected Atlantic salmon Salmo salar. Despite the individual testing of 120 ISAV-exposed saithe, ISAV was not detectable using RT-PCR, the most sensitive ISAV diagnostic tool demonstrated to date. Furthermore, saithe exposed to ISAV-infected salmon were not capable of transmitting virus when transferred to tanks containing na?ve salmon. Thus saithe appear to be resistant to this Norwegian isolate of ISAV and incapable of supporting its replication. Saithe which co-exist with salmon in and around aqua-culture facilities are considered unlikely to have a significant impact on the epizootiology of ISAV. 相似文献

The present study describes the use of molecular methods in studying infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV), an important pathogen of farmed salmon in Norway, Scotland, the Faeroe Islands, Canada, USA and Chile. The nucleotide sequences of the haemagglutinin gene (HA) from 70 ISAV isolates have been analysed for phylogenetic relationship and the average mutation rate of nucleotide substitutions calculated. The isolates constitute 2 major groups, 1 European and 1 North American group. The isolate from Chile is closely related to the North American isolates. The European isolates can be further divided into 3 separate groups reflecting geographical distribution, time of collection, and transmission connected with farming activity. Based on existing information about infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) and new information emerging from the present study, it is hypothesised that: (1) ISAV is maintained in wild populations of trout and salmon in Europe; (2) it is transmitted between wild hosts mainly during their freshwater spawning phase in rivers; (3) wild salmonids, mainly trout, possibly carry benign wild-type ISAV isolates; (4) a change (mutation) in virulence probably results from deletions of amino acid segments from the highly polymorphic region (HPR) of benign wild-type isolates; (5) ISA emerges in farmed Atlantic salmon when mutated isolates are transmitted from wild salmonids or, following mutation of benign isolates, in farmed salmon after transmission from wild salmonids; (6) farming activity is an important factor in transmission of ISAV between farming sites in addition to transmission of ISAV from wild salmonids to farmed salmon; (7) transmission of ISAV from farmed to wild salmonids probably occurs less frequently than transmission from wild to farmed fish due to lower frequency of susceptible wild individuals; (8) the frequency of new outbreaks of ISA in farmed salmon probably reflects natural variation in the prevalence of ISAV in wild populations of salmonids. 相似文献

Antibody detection tests are rarely used for diagnostic purposes in fish diseases. Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) caused by ISA virus (ISAV) is an emerging disease of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. The virus has also been isolated from diseased coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch in Chile. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that should facilitate serodiagnosis of ISAV infection, the study of epidemiology, and the control of ISA in farmed fishes has been developed using purified ISAV as the coating antigen, and monoclonal antibodies that detect fish immunoglobulins bound to the antigen on the plate. Application of the test to a random sample of farmed Atlantic salmon from the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada, positively identified 5 of the 7 ISAV RT-PCR-positive fish, and all 10 RT-PCR-negative fish were also negative in the ELISA. Some RT-PCR-negative fish had an elevated non-specific antibody reactivity suggestive of chronic infection or resistance to ISAV. This test was also able to detect 11 of the 14 coho salmon pooled serum samples from a clinically affected farm in Chile that were positive by the virus neutralization (VN) test, and 2 of the 4 VN-negative samples. We conclude that this ELISA would be suitable as a routine test for ISAV infection or for assessing ISAV vaccine efficacy before placing smolts in sea cages, and for testing fishes in sea cages to detect level of resistance to ISA. The assay enables vaccination in combination with depopulation control methods. 相似文献

Following the outbreak of infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) at salmon farms in Scotland, UK, a survey was established to determine the extent of infection in wild fish. All fish tested were free from the clinical symptoms of ISA. Isolations of ISAV were made from 5 sea trout within areas where ISA affected salmon farms were located. Evidence for ISAV in other sea trout was provided by ISA RT-PCR diagnostic tests. Results from ISA RT-PCR tests reveal evidence for ISAV being present in salmon parr, adult salmon and juvenile brown trout in rivers distant from salmon farms and indicate that, at the time of the survey (1998-1999), ISAV may have been widely distributed. Nucleotide sequence analysis of segments 2 and 8 showed that for most sequences from wild fish there was 100% homology with ISAV isolated from clinically affected farmed fish although evidence is presented which indicates variability in ISAV sequences from wild fish. Modelling the RT-PCR findings indicates that ISAV among salmonid fish was spatially non-random. Brown trout, sea trout and salmon (adult and parr) show a pattern of occasionally large numbers of positive samples against a background of very low numbers. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequences of segments 2 and 8 of infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) isolates from Scotland and Norway were determined and compared. Sequence variations were found in both segments, with segment 2 being more variable. These variations were of the same degree as those found in previous comparisons of the first recorded strain of ISAV in Scotland and Norwegian strains for which sequence information was available. The sequences again demonstrate the separation of European and Canadian strains of ISAV but, as is expected for an RNA virus, reveal that the European ISAV is not homogeneous. These results demonstrate the value of nucleotide sequences as a tool for strain identification and epidemiological investigation of ISAV. 相似文献

Comparative aspects of infectious salmon anemia virus,an orthomyxovirus of fish,to influenza viruses
Ragnhild Toennessen Astrid Lauscher Espen Rimstad 《Indian journal of microbiology》2009,49(4):308-314
Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) is a viral disease that was first recorded in 1984 in farmed Atlantic salmon. The infectious
salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) is classified as the type species of the genus Isavirus in the Orthomyxoviridae family and is evolutionary remote to the influenza viruses. The genome consists of eight negative
single-stranded RNA segments, and it utilises the same mechanisms as influenza viruses to enter and exit cells. Although a
common ancestor of ISAV and other genera of Orthomyxoviruses could be dated back several millions of years, there are still
many similarities between ISAV and the influenza viruses regarding morphology, replication cycles and interactions with their
respective hosts. 相似文献

Studies of infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV), an important pathogen of farmed salmon in Norway, Scotland, the Faeroe Islands, Ireland, Canada, the USA and Chile, suggest that natural reservoirs for this virus can be found on both sides of the North Atlantic. Based on existing information about ISAV it is believed to be maintained in wild populations of trout and salmon in Europe. It has further been suggested that ISAV is transmitted between wild hosts, mainly during their freshwater spawning phase in rivers, and that wild salmonids, mainly trout, are possible carriers of benign wild-type variants of ISAV. Change in virulence is probably a result of deletions of amino acid segments from the highly polymorphic region (HPR) of benign wild-type isolates after transmission to farmed salmon. Hence, it has been suggested that the frequency of new outbreaks of ISA in farmed salmon could partly reflect natural variation in the prevalence of ISAV in wild populations of salmonids. The aims of the present study were to screen for ISAV in wild salmonids during spawning in rivers and to determine the pathogenicity of resultant isolates from wild fish. Tissues from wild salmonids were screened by RT-PCR and real-time PCR. The prevalence of ISAV in wild trout Salmo trutta varied from 62 to 100% between tested rivers in 2001. The prevalence dropped in 2002, ranging from 13 to 36% in the same rivers and to only 6% in 2003. All ISAV were nonpathogenic when injected into disease-free Atlantic salmon, but were capable of propagation, as indicated by subsequent viral recovery. However, non-pathogenic ISAV has also been found in farmed salmon, where a prevalence as high as 60% has been registered, but with no mortalities occurring. Based on the results of the present and other studies, it must be concluded that vital information about the importance of wild and man-made reservoirs for the emergence of ISA in salmon farming is still lacking. This information can only be gained by further screening of possible reservoirs, combined with the development of a molecular tool for typing virulence and the geographical origin of the virus isolates. 相似文献

Few studies have yet addressed the functional aspects of MHC molecules in fish. To lay the foundation for this, we evaluated the association between disease resistance and MHC class I and class II polymorphism in Atlantic salmon. Standardized disease challenge trials were performed on a semi-wild Atlantic salmon population with subsequent MHC typing and statistical analysis. The pathogens employed were infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) causing infectious salmon anaemia and the Aeromonas salmonicida bacteria causing furunculosis. The material consisted of 1,182 Atlantic salmon from 33 families challenged with A. salmonicida and 1,031 Atlantic salmon from 25 families challenged with ISAV. We found highly significant associations between resistance towards infectious diseases caused by both pathogens and MH class I and class II polymorphism in Atlantic salmon. The observed associations were detected due to independently segregating MH class I and class II single loci, and inclusion of a large number of fish allowing an extensive statistical analysis. 相似文献

Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) is a serious disease responsible for high morbidity in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in Norway, Scotland and New Brunswick, Canada. Recent attempts to identify different strains of ISA virus (ISAV) based on nucleotide sequence variation have shown that the Norwegian and Scottish samples are similar to one another but markedly different from New Brunswick samples. These data may suggest the presence of different strains on each side of the Atlantic but no functional difference has been found with either strain. We describe the first identification and characterisation of ISAV in Atlantic salmon from Nova Scotia, Canada. Further, salmon infected with the Nova Scotia ISAV do not show typical ISAV pathology or mortality. Sequencing of this new strain showed it to possess greater similarity to ISAV from Norway and Scotland than to ISAV from New Brunswick. These findings are discussed in terms of a possible origin of the Nova Scotia ISAV strain and the existence of an avirulent ISAV strain. The impact of current strain variation studies on our knowledge of ISAV is also discussed. 相似文献

We have investigated the initial steps in the interaction between infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) and cultured cells from Atlantic salmon (SHK-1 cell line). Using radioactively or fluorescently labelled viral particles we have studied the binding and fusion kinetics and the effect of pH on binding, uptake, and fusion of ISAV to SHK-1 cells and liposomes. As pH in the medium was reduced from 7.5 to 4.5, the association of virus to the cells was nearly doubled. The same effect of pH was observed when fusion between ISAV and liposomes was analyzed. In addition, the binding of ISAV to intact SHK-1 cells and to cell membrane proteins blotted onto filters was neuraminidase sensitive. However, the increased binding induced by low pH was not neuraminidase sensitive, probably reflecting activation of a fusion peptide at low pH. By using confocal fluorescence microscopy, the increased fusion of fluorescently labelled ISAV with the plasma membrane due to low pH could be demonstrated. When vacuolar pH in the cells was raised during inoculation with chloroquine or ammonium chloride, both electron and confocal microscopy showed accumulation of ISAV in endosomes and lysosomes. Production of infectious virus could be increased by lowering the extracellular pH during infection. Furthermore, chloroquine present during virus inoculation also caused a reduction in the synthesis of viral proteins in ISAV-infected cells as well as in the production of infective virus. These results indicate that ISAV binds to sialic acid residues on the cell surface and that the fusion between virus and cell membrane takes place in the acid environment of endosomes. This provides further evidence for a high degree of similarity between ISAV and influenza virus and extends the basis for the classification of this virus as a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family. 相似文献

In the present study the pathogenesis of experimental infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) infection in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1972) and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar was compared. The virus infection in the 2 species demonstrated different mortality patterns and pathology characteristics. Atlantic salmon showed a typical acute mortality pattern peaking at 8 to 16 d post-infection (dpi) depending on virus dose, whereas in rainbow trout, only the highest virus dose (10(7.13-7.8) TCID50/200 microl) showed a similar pattern. The middle (10(4.13) TCID50/200 microl) and lowest virus doses (10(2.13) TCID50/200 microl) in rainbow trout induced only sporadic protracted mortality, lasting up to 46 dpi. Infected rainbow trout that were live-sampled and those that died demonstrated increased erythrophagia, clusters of cellular degeneration in the haematopoietic portion of the kidney, and occasionally epicarditis, endocarditis and myocarditis. These lesions are very different from the typical necrosis in liver and kidney that occur in infected Atlantic salmon, and some of them may be indicative of an antiviral response by a resistant host to the ISAV infection. Virus was detected in the endothelium of the rainbow trout tissues using in situ hybridization, supporting our conclusions of the ISAV-induced lesions in this report. 相似文献
