Abstract
A lateral flow immunochromatography strip test, based on antibody-gold nanoparticles specific for nervous necrosis virus (NNV), was developed for rapid, on-site detection of the virus in fish stocks. A monoclonal antibody against NNV was conjugated with colloidal gold as the detector antibody. A rabbit anti-NNV polyclonal antibody and goat anti-mouse IgG antibody were blotted onto the nitrocellulose membrane as the capture antibodies on the test line and control line, respectively. The reaction could be seen by the eye within 15 min and did not cross-react with the other viruses tested. The detection limit of the strip was approximately 103 TCID50 /ml and had good stability after storage at 4°C for 8 months. When brains of 70 naturally infected golden grey mullet, Chelon aurata, were tested with the strip test, the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of the test compared to real-time RT-PCR were 100% and 74%, respectively. Therefore, the one-step test strip developed here had high specificity, reproducibility, and stability. This, together with its simplicity to use and rapid detection, without the requirement of sophisticated equipment or specialized skills, makes the strip suitable for pond-side detection of NNV in farmed fish.

Systemic and mucosal antibody response of freshwater cultured Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) to monovalent and bivalent vaccines against Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus iniae. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2021; 108:7-13. [PMID: 33217566 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2020.11.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2020] [Revised: 08/22/2020] [Accepted: 11/14/2020] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer farming in Southeast Asia, encounters serious disease challenges caused by Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus iniae. However, a vaccine for disease prevention is not yet available. In this study, we investigated the mucosal and systemic antibody (IgM) response kinetics of the Asian seabass following primary immunization with oil-based formalin-killed vaccines (FKVs) prepared from S. agalactiae and S. iniae (monovalent Sa, monovalent Si, and bivalent Sa-Si) and secondary booster with the respective water-based FKVs. The efficacy of vaccines was subsequently evaluated by an experimental challenge. The results revealed similar antibody response kinetics in both systemic and mucosal systems. However, the immune response in the fish vaccinated with the monovalent vaccines was superior to those fish received the bivalent vaccine in terms of specific antibody titer. The fish that received monovalent vaccines required 1-2 weeks to raise a significant level of specific antibody titer in both systemic and mucosal systems while those vaccinated with bivalent vaccine required three weeks. Following booster at day 21, both systemic and mucosal antibody titers in all vaccinated groups had reached the peak at day 28 and gradually declined in the following weeks but remained significantly higher than control until the end of the experiment (day 63). In the challenge test, both monovalent and bivalent vaccines were found to be highly efficacious, with the relative percentage survival (RPS) ranging from 75 to 85%. In summary, this study explored the 63-days antibody response kinetics (both mucosal and systemic systems) of Asian seabass to monovalent and bivalent inactivated vaccines and confirmed that the combination of S. agalactiae and S. iniae in a single injectable vaccine is possible.

Abstract
Effective analysis of pathogens causing human and veterinary diseases demands rapid, specific and sensitive detection methods which can be applied in research laboratory setups and in field for routine diagnosis. Paper lateral flow biosensors (LFBs) have been established as attractive tools for such analytical applications. In the present study a prototype LFB was designed for whole particles (virions) detection of nodavirus or fish nervous necrosis virus. Nodavirus is an important threat in the aquaculture industry, causing severe economic losses and environmental problems. The LFB was based on polyclonal antibodies conjugated on gold nanoparticles for signal visualization. Brain and retinas from fish samples were homogenized, centrifuged and the supernatant was directly applied on the LFB. Formation of a red test line was indicative of nodavirus virions presence. Nodavirus visual detection was completed in short time (30 min). Key factors of the LFB development influencing the assays’ detection limit were characterized and the optimum parameters were determined, enabling increased efficiency, excluding non-specific interactions. Therefore, the proposed LFB assay consists a robust, simple, low cost and accurate method for detection of nodavirus virions in fish samples. The proposed biosensor is ideal for development of a commercial kit to be used on aquaculture facilities by fish farmers. It is anticipated that disease monitoring and environmental safety will benefit from the simplification of time consuming and costly procedures.

Abstract
Emergence of a disease with clinical signs resembling megalocytivirus infection seriously affected large-scale barramundi farms in Vietnam in 2012-2014 with estimated losses reaching $435,810 per year. An oil-based, inactivated vaccine against red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV) was applied in one farm for disease prevention without analysis of the causative agent, and the farmer reported inadequate protection. Here we describe histological and molecular analysis of the diseased fish. PCR targeting the major capsid protein (MCP) of megalocytiviruses yielded an amplicon with high sequence identity to infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) genotype II previously reported from other marine fish but not barramundi. Detection of the virus was confirmed by positive in situ hybridization results with fish tissue lesions of the kidney, liver, pancreas, and brain of the PCR-positive samples. Based on the complete sequence of the MCP gene, the isolate showed 95.2% nucleotide sequence identity and 98.7% amino acid sequence identity (6 residue differences) with the MCP of RSIV. Prediction of antigenic determinants for MCP antigens indicated that the 6 residue differences would result in a significant difference in antigenicity of the two proteins. This was confirmed by automated homology modeling in which structure superimpositioning revealed several unique epitopes in the barramundi isolate. This probably accounted for the low efficiency of the RSIV vaccine when tested by the farmer.

Abstract
Age-dependent susceptibility to nervous necrosis virus (NNV) was demonstrated for barramundi (Lates calcarifer). The experiment used juvenile barramundi produced from a single spawning that were challenged consecutively by immersion with a redspotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) isolate. The dose and environmental conditions (35 ppt salinity and 30 °C) were constant. Fish and water were sampled longitudinally for histopathology and RT-qPCR analysis to examine the evolution of the disease, virus replication, immune response and release of virus into water. Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) disease occurred in barramundi challenged at 3 and 4 weeks of age while fish challenged at 5, 7 and 9 weeks of age developed subclinical infection. Replication of NNV occurred faster and the concentration of virus reached higher concentrations in the younger fish with clinical disease. Virus isolation and qPCR tests indicated that infectious NNV was released from carcasses into water when fish were affected with clinical disease but not when NNV infection was subclinical. Based on these observations, we consider that carcasses from clinically infected fish have a potentially important role in the horizontal transmission of NNV, and barramundi juveniles should be protected from exposure to NNV until they are 5 weeks of age and reach the disease resistance threshold.

Abstract
Viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER), otherwise known as viral nervous necrosis (VNN), is a major devastating threat for aquatic animals. Betanodaviruses have been isolated in at least 70 aquatic animal species in marine and in freshwater environments throughout the world, with the notable exception of South America. In this review, the main features of betanodavirus, including its diversity, its distribution and its transmission modes in fish, are firstly presented. Then, the existing diagnosis and detection methods, as well as the different control procedures of this disease, are reviewed. Finally, the potential of selective breeding, including both conventional and genomic selection, as an opportunity to obtain resistant commercial populations, is examined.

Abstract
Viral nervous necrosis disease (VNN), caused by nervous necrosis virus (NNV), leads to mass mortality in mariculture. However, phenotypic selection for resistance against VNN is very difficult. To facilitate marker-assisted selection (MAS) for resistance against VNN and understanding of the genetic architecture underlying the resistance against this disease, we mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance against VNN in Asian seabass. We challenged fingerlings at 37 days post-hatching (dph), from a single back-cross family, with NNV at a concentration of 9 × 10(6) TCID50/ml for 2 h. Daily mortalities were recorded and collected. A panel of 330 mortalities and 190 surviving fingerlings was genotyped using 149 microsatellites with 145 successfully mapped markers covering 24 linkage groups (LGs). Analysis of QTL for both resistance against VNN and survival time was conducted using interval mapping. Five significant QTL located in four LGs and eight suggestive QTL in seven LGs were identified for resistance. Another five significant QTL in three LGs and five suggestive QTL in three LGs were detected for survival time. One significant QTL, spanning 3 cM in LG20, was identified for both resistance and survival time. These QTL explained 2.2-4.1% of the phenotypic variance for resistance and 2.2-3.3% of the phenotypic variance for survival time, respectively. Our results suggest that VNN resistance in Asian seabass is controlled by many loci with small effects. Our data provide information for fine mapping of QTL and identification of candidate genes for a better understanding of the mechanism of disease resistance.

Abstract
Rapid, sensitive, and automatic detection platforms are among the major approaches of controlling viral diseases in aquaculture. An efficient detection platform permits the monitoring of pathogen spread and helps to enhance the economic benefits of commercial aquaculture. Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), the cause of viral encephalopathy and retinopathy, is among the most devastating aquaculture viruses that infect marine fish species worldwide. In the present study, a highly sensitive magnetoreduction assay was developed for detecting target biomolecules with a primary focus on NNV antigens. A standard curve of the different NNV concentrations that were isolated from infected Malabar grouper ( Epinephelus malabaricus) was established before experiments were conducted. The test solution was prepared by homogeneous dispersion of magnetic nanoparticles coated with rabbit anti-NNV antibody. The magnetic nanoparticles in the solution were oscillated by magnetic interaction with multiple externally applied, alternating current magnetic fields. The assay’s limit of detection was approximately 2 × 101 TCID50/ml for NNV. Moreover, the immunomagnetic reduction readings for other aquatic viruses (i.e., 1 × 107 TCID50/ml for Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus and 1 × 106.5 TCID50/ml for grouper iridovirus) were below the background noise in the NNV solution, demonstrating the specificity of the new detection platform.

Abstract
The antiviral activity of furan-2-yl acetate (C₆H₆O₃) extracted from Streptomyces VITSDK1 spp. was studied in cultured Sahul Indian Grouper Eye (SIGE) cells infected with fish nodavirus (FNV). The nodavirus infection in the SIGE cells was confirmed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the antiviral activity of furan-2-yl acetate was assessed by cytopathic effect, as well as reduction in nodaviral titre (TCID₅₀ mL⁻¹, where TCID₅₀) is the 50% tissue culture infective dose) in the cultured SIGE cells under in vitro conditions. Furan-2-yl acetate (20 µg mL⁻¹) effectively inhibited the replication of the FNV-infected SIGE cell lines and the viral titre was reduced from 4.3 to 2.45 log TCID₅₀ mL⁻¹ on treatments. Furan-2-yl acetate (20 µg mL⁻¹)- treated SIGE cell survival was found to be 90%, as determined by methyl thiazol tetrazolium assay. The results of an immunofluorescent assay revealed a strong association between the viral capsid protein inhibition and a decline in viral replication. The results suggest that furan-2-yl acetate suppressed FNV replication in cultured fish cells, providing a potential approach for the control of nodaviral diseases in marine fishes.

Abstract
An optimized culture method for detection of infection of fish with the Red spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) genotype of betanodavirus in striped snakehead (SSN-1, Channa striatus) cells is described. Inoculation of fish tissue homogenates at the same time or within 4 hr of seeding the SSN-1 cells was as sensitive as the method recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health, where homogenates were adsorbed onto an established cell monolayer. Such modification halved the time required and the costs of consumables, and reduced the potential for error when processing large numbers of samples. Positive culture results were obtained from 88.3% of 392 fish tissue homogenates in which RGNNV was detected using a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay; 99.7% of 943 tissue homogenates, which were qRT-PCR negative, were cell culture negative. Cytopathic effect (CPE) was characterized by large intracytoplasmic vacuoles in 0.1–60% of cells. Detachment of affected cells from the culture surface resulting in progressive disruption of the monolayer occurred in 46.4% of primary cultures and 96.0% of subcultures of positive samples. Identification of CPE that did not disrupt the cell monolayer increased estimates of the 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) by 1.07–2.79 logs (95% confidence interval). The predicted mean TCID50/ml was 3.3 logs higher when cells were inoculated less than 36 hr after subculture at less than 80% confluence compared to cells inoculated at greater than 80% confluence and more than 36 hr after subculture ( P < 0.05).

Abstract
Betanodaviruses are small RNA viruses that infect teleost fish and pose a considerable threat to marine aquaculture production. These viruses possess a small protein, termed B2, which binds to and protects double-stranded RNA. This prevents cleavage of virus-derived double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) by Dicer and subsequent production of small interfering RNA (siRNA), which would otherwise induce an RNA-silencing response against the virus. In this work, we have performed charged-to-alanine scanning mutagenesis of the B2 protein in order to identify residues required for dsRNA binding and protection. While the majority of the 19 mutated B2 residues were required for maximal dsRNA binding and protection in vitro, residues R53 and R60 were essential for both activities. Subsequent experiments in fish cells confirmed these findings by showing that mutations in these residues abolished accumulation of both the RNA1 and RNA2 components of the viral genome, in addition to preventing any significant induction of the host interferon gene, Mx. Moreover, an obvious positive correlation was found between dsRNA binding and protection in vitro and RNA1, RNA2, and Mx accumulation in fish cells, further validating the importance of the selected amino acid residues. The same trend was also demonstrated using an RNA silencing system in HeLa cells, with residues R53 and R60 being essential for suppression of RNA silencing. Importantly, we found that siRNA-mediated knockdown of Dicer dramatically enhanced the accumulation of a B2 mutant. In addition, we found that B2 is able to induce apoptosis in fish cells but that this was not the result of dsRNA binding.
