从感染致病的中国对虾（Ｐｅｎａｅｕｓｃｈｉｎｅｓｉｓ）中分离到一种球状病毒,其育径约为２０±４ｎｍ。进行人工感染实验,对虾死亡率为６６％;用脱氧核糖核酸酶（ＤＮａｓｅ）,核糖核酸酶（ＲＮａｓｅ）及二苯胺染色法对病毒核酸进行处理,证明该病毒核酸为脱氧核糖核酸,用Ｓｌ核酸酶（Ｓｌｎｕｃｌｅａｓｃ）对该核酸进一步消化处理,进一步证实该病毒含单链ＤＮＡ。ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ结果显示,该病毒含４条结构多肽,其分子量分别为８６ｋＤ,７９ｋＤ,７０ｋＤ及２５．５ｋＤ。根据上述特性分析,该病毒可能属于细小病毒科（ｐａｒ－ｖｏｖｉｒｉｄａｅ）,故暂定名为中国对虾细小病毒（ＰｅｎａｅｕｓｃｈｉｎｅｓｉｓＰａｒｖｏｖｉｒｕｓ简称ＰｃＰＶ）。

A new baculovirus of cultured shrimps

By means of ultrathin section, negative staining and sucrose gradient ultra-centrifugation, a new baculovirus has been discovered and purified in lymphoid organs and such tissues as muscles of the shrimps which have been spontaneously attacked by diseases and artificially infected. With a diameter of 96-112 nm, this is the thickest baculovirus of shrimps ever known. In the center is the high-density nucleus. Between the capsid and the envelope is a broad space, which is not found in any of the baculoviruses of the prawns ever reported. On the surface of the puri-fied nucleocapsid, there is a subunit of the spiral arrangement, which is also characteristic of this virus. It has not been observed and found in the epithelial cells of the livers, intestines and cheeks, which is quite different from the fact that prawn baculoviruses infect a certain epithepilial cell of the above-mentioned ones without exception. The viruses only multiplicate inside the core of target cells, which will not form occluded bodie     

PCR-based detection of white spot syndrome virus in cultured and captured crustaceans in India

AIMS: The occurrence and distribution of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) among cultured and captured penaeid shrimps and crustaceans in the east coast of India was determined from November 1999 to April 2002 using PCR as a diagnostic tool. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 630 cultured samples consisting of 280 postlarvae collected from nine different hatcheries and 350 juvenile shrimps (40-60-day-old) collected from 18 different culture ponds were screened for WSSV. Of these cultured samples tested 53% were found to be single-step PCR positive. A total of 419 samples of captured crustaceans viz., Penaeus monodon brooders, P. indicus juveniles, Metapenaeus spp., crab Scylla serrata and Squilla mantis were also screened for WSSV by PCR, 23% of them were infected with WSSV. CONCLUSIONS: This study concluded that WSSV could be widespread in cultured and captured shrimps and other crustaceans in India. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The results indicate that PCR screening of WSSV infection and rejection of infected stocks greatly assists shrimp aquaculture farmers for successful production and harvest.     

Effect of probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici on antioxidant defences and oxidative stress of Litopenaeus stylirostris under Vibrio nigripulchritudo challenge

Antioxidant defences and induced oxidative stress tissue damage of the blue shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris, under challenge with Vibrio nigripulchritudo, were investigated for a 72-h period. For this purpose, L. stylirostris were first infected by immersion with pathogenic V. nigripulchritudo strain SFn1 and then antioxidant defences: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (Gpx), Total antioxidant status (TAS), glutathiones and induced tissue damage (MDA and carbonyl proteins) were determined in the digestive gland at 0, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h post-infection (h.p.i.). In the meantime, TAS was also measured in the blood. Infection level of the shrimps during the challenge was followed by determining V. nigripulchritudo prevalence and load in the haemolymph of the shrimps. Changes in all these parameters during the 72-h.p.i. period were recorded for control shrimps and shrimps previously fed for one month with probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici MA18/5M at 10⁷ CFU g^?1 of feed.Our results showed that immersion with V. nigripulchritudo led to maximal infection level in the haemolymph at 24 h.p.i. preceding the mortality peak recorded at 48 h.p.i. Significant decreases in the antioxidant defences were detected from 24 h.p.i. and beyond that time infection leaded to increases in oxidative stress level and tissue damage. Compared to control group, shrimps fed the probiotic diet showed lower infection (20% instead of 45% at 24 h.p.i. in the control group) and mortality (25% instead of 41.7% in the control group) levels. Moreover, infected shrimp fed the probiotic compared to uninfected control shrimps exhibited very similar antioxidant status and oxidative stress level. Compared to the infected control group, shrimps fed the probiotic sustained higher antioxidant defences and lower oxidative stress level.This study shows that bacterial infection leads to oxidative stress in L. stylirostris and highlighted a beneficial effect of P. acidilactici, suggesting both a competitive exclusion effect leading to a reduction of the infection level and/or an enhancement of the antioxidant status of the shrimps.     

Shrimps survive white spot syndrome virus challenge following treatment with Vibrio bacterin

Taking an innovative approach, a vaccination study using five bacterial strains viz. Vibrio campbelli (B60), V. alginolyticus (B73), V. parahaemolyticus-like (B79), V. parahaemolyticus (R8) and V. harveyi (RG203) was conducted in Penaeus monodon against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection, considered as one of the serious pathogens of shrimps. Oral challenge with shrimps infected with WSSV showed a relative percentage survival of 5 and 47% in the P. monodon juveniles vaccinated with V. parahaemolyticus and V. harveyi, respectively. Results showed that there is a possibility of specifically immunising the shrimps against WSSV using bacterin prepared out of Vibrio harveyi isolates taken from shrimps infected with WSSV. Also, there was a level of protection attained by the shrimps due to immunisation with Vibrio strains.     

Vaccination of shrimp (Penaeus chinensis) against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV)

Two structural protein genes, VP19 and VP466, of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) were cloned and expressed in Sf21 insect cells using a baculovirus expression system for the development of injection and oral feeding vaccines against WSSV for shrimps. The cumulative mortalities of the shrimps vaccinated by the injection of rVP19 and rVP466 at 15 days after the challenge with WSSV were 50.2% and 51.8%, respectively. For the vaccination by oral feeding of rVP19 and rVP466, the cumulative mortalities were 49.2% and 89.2%, respectively. These results show that protection against WSSV can be generated in the shrimp, using the viral structural protein as a protein vaccine.     

Proteomic analysis of altered proteins in lymphoid organ of yellow head virus infected Penaeus monodon

A comparative proteomic analysis was employed to identify altered proteins in the yellow head virus (YHV) infected lymphoid organ (LO) of Penaeus monodon. At 24 h post-infection, the infected shrimps showed obvious signs of infection, while the control shrimps remained healthy. Two-dimensional electrophoresis of proteins extracted from the LO revealed significant alterations in abundance of several proteins in the infected group. Protein identification by MALDI-TOF MS and nanoLC-ESI-MS/MS revealed significant increase of transglutaminase, protein disulfide isomerase, ATP synthase beta subunit, V-ATPase subunit A, and hemocyanin fragments. A significant decrease was also identified for Rab GDP-dissociation inhibitor, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, actin, fast tropomyosin isoform, and hemolymph clottable protein. Some of these altered proteins were further investigated at the mRNA level using real-time RT-PCR, which confirmed the proteomic data. Identification of these altered proteins in the YHV-infected shrimps may provide novel insights into the molecular responses of P. monodon to YHV infection.
