Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is the pathogen of infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), which can cause high mortality in salmonids, harm the healthy development of salmon-trout aquaculture, and lead to huge economic losses. However, in China, there is currently neither a commercially available vaccine to prevent IPNV infection nor antiviral drugs to treat IPNV infection. The genome of IPNV consists of two segments of dsRNA named A and B. Segment B encodes the RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (RdRp) VP1 which is essential for viral RNA replication and is therefore considered an important target for the development of antiviral drugs. In this study, we investigate whether 2'-C-methylcytidine (2CMC), a nucleoside analog which target viral polymerases, has an inhibitory effect on IPNV both in vitro and in vivo. The results show that 2CMC inhibits IPNV infection by inhibiting viral RNA replication rather than viral internalization or attachment. In vivo experiment results showed that 2CMC could inhibit viral RNA replication and reduce viral load in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). In our study, we have revealed that 2CMC has a potent inhibitory effect against IPNV infection. Our data suggest that 2CMC is an attractive anti-IPNV drug candidate which will be highly valuable for the development of potential therapeutics for IPNV.

Abstract
Background Interferon (IFN) responses are critical in the resolution of viral infections and are actively targeted by many viruses. They also play a role in inducing protective responses after vaccination and have been successfully tested as vaccine adjuvants. IFN responses are well conserved and function very similar in teleosts and mammals. Like in mammals, IFN responses in piscine cells are initiated by intracellular detection of the viral infection by different pattern recognition receptors. Upon the recognition of viral components, IFN responses are rapidly induced to combat the infection. However, many viruses may still replicate and be able to inhibit or circumvent the IFN response by different means. Methods By employing CRISPR Cas9 technology, we have disrupted proteins that are central for IFN signaling in the salmonid cell line CHSE-214. We successfully generated KO clones for the mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein MAVS, the transcription factors IRF3 and IRF7-1, as well as a double KO for IRF7-1/3 using an optimized protocol for delivery of CRISPR-Cas ribonucleoproteins through nucleofection. Results We found that MAVS and IRF3 KOs inhibited IFN and IFN-stimulated gene induction after intracellular poly I:C stimulation as determined through gene expression and promoter activation assays. In contrast, the IRF7-1 KO had no clear effect. This shows that MAVS and IRF3 are essential for initiation of intracellular RNA-induced IFN responses in CHSE-214 cells. To elucidate viral interference with IFN induction pathways, the KOs were infected with Salmon alphavirus 3 (SAV3) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). SAV3 infection in control and IRF7-1 KO cells yielded similar titers and no cytopathic effect, while IRF3 and MAVS KOs presented with severe cytopathic effect and increased titers 6 days after SAV 3 infection. In contrast, IPNV yields were reduced in IRF3 and MAVS KOs, suggesting a dependency on interactions between viral proteins and pattern recognition receptor signaling components during viral replication. Conclusion Aside from more insight in this signaling in salmonids, our results indicate a possible method to increase viral titers in salmonid cells.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the cytokine immune response against two proteins of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the virion-associated RNA polymerase VP1 and VP2-Flagellin (VP2-Flg) fusion protein. Since VP1 is not a structural protein, we hypothesize it can induce cellular immunity, an essential mechanism of the antiviral response. At the same time, the fusion construction VP2-Flg could be highly immunogenic due to the presence of the flagellin used as an adjuvant. Fish were immunized with the corresponding antigen in Montanide™, and the gene expression of a set of marker genes of Th1, Th2, and the immune regulatory response was quantified in the head kidney of immunized and control fish. Results indicate that VP1 induced upregulation of ifn-γ, il-12p40c, il-4/13a, il-4/13b2, il-10a, and tgf-β1 in immunized fish. Expression of il-2a did not change in treated fish at the times tested. The antigen-dependent response was analysed by in vitro restimulation of head kidney leukocytes. In this assay, the group of cytokines upregulated after VP1-restimulation was consistent with those upregulated in the head kidney in vivo. Interestingly, VP1 induced il-2a expression after in vitro restimulation. The analysis of sorted lymphocytes showed that the increase of cytokines occurred in CD4-1+ T cells suggesting that Th differentiation happens in response to VP1. This is also consistent with the expression of t-bet and gata3, the master regulators for Th1/Th2 differentiation in the kidneys of immunized animals. A different cytokine expression profile was found after VP2-Flg administration, i.e., upregulation occurs for ifn-γ, il-4/13a, il-10a, and tgf-β1, while down-regulation was observed in il-4/13b2 and il-2a. The cytokine response was due to flagellin; only the il-2a effect was dependent upon VP2 in the fusion protein. To the best of our knowledge this study reports for the first-time characteristics of the adaptive immune response induced in response to IPNV VP1 and the fusion protein VP2-Flg in fish. VP1 induces cytokines able to trigger the humoral and cell-mediated immune response in rainbow trout. The analysis of the fish response against VP2-Flg revealed the immunogenic properties of Aeromonas salmonicida flagellin, which can be further tested for adjuvanticity. The novel immunogenic effects of VP1 in rainbow trout open new opportunities for further IPNV vaccine development using this viral protein.

Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), belonging to the genus Aquabirnavirus within the family Birnaviridae, causes huge economic loss to the global salmonid industry every year. Recently, outbreaks of disease caused by genogroup I IPNV were found in many rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farms worldwide. An inactivated vaccine was prepared using a genogroup I IPNV isolate with an optimized procedure as incubation with β-propanolactone (BPL) at the final concentration of 0.5% at room temperature for 48 h. The inactivated vaccine was used to immunize rainbow trout, and the protection efficiency was evaluated by viral loads determination, immune-related genes quantification, and neutralizing antibody tests. The viral loads in immunized rainbow trout were significantly decreased and the strongest antiviral effect was observed on 30 days post-immunization (d.p.i). The expression of innate immune-related genes IFN-1, and Mx-1 genes were significantly up-regulated on 3, 7, and 15 d.p.i (p < 0.05), and adaptive immune-related genes CD4, CD8, and IgM genes were significantly up-regulated on 15 and 30 d.p.i (p < 0.05). Neutralizing antibodies were firstly detected on 30 d.p.i and the highest titer was observed on 45 d.p.i, which began to decrease on 60 d.p.i, but was still significantly higher than that in negative control fish. The results indicated that the vaccine prepared in this study could stimulate the non-specific and specific immune response and provide significant immune protection to the vaccinated rainbow trout.

Abstract
The IPN virus (IPNV) causes a highly contagious disease that affects farmed salmonids. IPNV isolates have been phylogenetically classified into seven genogroups, of which two are present in Chile, genogroups 1 and 5. This study aimed to compare the transcriptomic response of rainbow trout fry challenged with two Chilean isolates of IPNV, RTTX (genogroup 1), and ALKA (genogroup 5). Tissue samples from challenged individuals and controls were taken at 1, 7, and 20 days post-challenge and analyzed by RNA-Seq. The results revealed that infection with RTTX elicited a greater modulation of the trout transcriptome compared to ALKA infection, generating a greater number of highly differentially expressed genes in relation to the control fish. Gene Ontology enrichment indicated that functions related to the inflammatory and immune responses were modulated in fish challenged with both isolates throughout the trial, but with different regulation patterns. On day 1 post challenge, these functions were activated in those challenged with ALKA, but suppressed in RTTX-challenged fish. These results suggest that rainbow trout exhibit a differential transcriptomic response to infection with the two genetically distinct IPNV isolates, especially at early times post-infection.

Abstract
Genetic resistance to infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in Atlantic salmon is a rare example of a trait where a single locus (QTL) explains almost all of the genetic variation. Genetic marker tests based on this QTL on salmon chromosome 26 have been widely applied in selective breeding to markedly reduce the incidence of the disease. In the current study, whole genome sequencing and functional annotation approaches were applied to characterise genes and variants in the QTL region. This was complemented by an analysis of differential expression between salmon fry of homozygous resistant and homozygous susceptible genotypes challenged with IPNV. These analyses pointed to the NEDD-8 activating enzyme 1 (nae1) gene as a putative functional candidate underlying the QTL effect. The role of nae1 in IPN resistance was further assessed via CRISPR-Cas9 knockout of the nae1 gene and chemical inhibition of the nae1 protein activity in Atlantic salmon cell lines, both of which resulted in highly significant reduction in productive IPNV replication. In contrast, CRISPR-Cas9 knockout of a candidate gene previously purported to be a cellular receptor for the virus (cdh1) did not have a major impact on productive IPNV replication. These results suggest that nae1 is the causative gene underlying the major QTL affecting resistance to IPNV in salmon, provide further evidence for the critical role of neddylation in host-pathogen interactions, and highlight the value in combining high-throughput genomics approaches with targeted genome editing to understand the genetic basis of disease resistance.

Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a globally distributed viral disease that is highly prevalent in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss farms in Finland. Seven genogroups (1-7) of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) exist, of which genogroup 5 (serotype Sp) is generally considered to be the most virulent in European salmonid farming. In Finland, 3 genogroups (2, 5 and 6) have been detected. Genogroup 2 is the most widespread and to date is the only genogroup associated with clinical disease in field observations. A bath challenge model infection trial was conducted to investigate the potential pathogenicity of the existing Finnish IPNV genogroups on IPNV-negative rainbow trout fry. Three Finnish IPNV isolates, a positive control (a Norwegian genogroup 5 isolate previously associated with high virulence in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar) and a negative control were used, and mortality was recorded daily for 8 wk. The Finnish IPNV genogroup 5 isolate caused the highest cumulative mortality, and the genogroup 2 isolate also caused elevated mortalities. The genogroup 6 isolate caused only low mortality, and the positive control treatment showed negligible mortality. Fish exposed to the Finnish genogroup 2 and 5 isolates had IPN-associated lesions, while no lesions were noted in the other treatment groups. These results indicate that Finnish IPNV genogroup 5 is potentially the most virulent IPNV genogroup for Finnish rainbow trout. Interestingly, the Norwegian IPNV genogroup 5 isolate caused only a subclinical IPN infection, providing further evidence for a host species-dependent, virus isolate-related difference in virulence in IPNV genogroup 5. The results also support the continuation of legislative disease control of IPNV genogroup 5 in Finnish inland waters.

Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) primarily infects larvae and young salmonid with serious economic losses, which causes haemorrhage and putrescence of hepatopancreas. To develop a more effective oral vaccine against IPNV infection, the aeromonas hydrophila adhesion (AHA1) gene was used as a targeting molecule for intestinal epithelial cells. A genetically engineered Lactobacillus casei (pPG-612-AHA1-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393) was constructed to express the AHA1-CK6-VP2 fusion protein. The expression of interest protein was confirmed by western blotting and the immunogenicity of pPG-612-AHA1-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 was evaluated. And the results showed that more pPG-612-AHA1-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 were found in the intestinal mucosal surface of the immunized group. The Lactobacillus-derived AHA1-CK6-VP2 fusion protein could induce the production of serum IgM and skin mucus IgT specific for IPNV with neutralizing activity in rainbow trouts. The levels of IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α isolated from the lymphocytes stimulated by AHA1-CK6-EGFP produced were significantly higher than EGFP group. For transcription levels of IL-1β, IL-8, CK6, MHC-II, Mx and TNF-1α in the spleen, the result indicated that the adhesion and target chemokine recruit more immune cells to induce cellular immunity. The level of IPNV in the immunized group of pPG-612-AHA1-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 was significantly lower than that in the control groups. These data indicated that the adhesion and target chemokine could enhance antigen delivery efficiency, which provides a valuable strategy for the development of IPNV recombination Lactobacillus casei oral vaccine in the future.

Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) infects wild and cultured salmonid fish causing high mortality with serious economic losses to salmonid aquaculture. Ideally, the method of oral immunization should prevent the infection of rainbow trout juveniles with IPNV. In the present study, genetically engineered Lactobacillus casei 393 pPG-612-VP2/L. casei 393 and pPG-612-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 constitutively expressing VP2 protein of IPNV were constructed. The recombinant strains pPG-612-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 and pPG-612-VP2/L. casei 393 were orally administrated to juvenile rainbow trouts, and significant titers of IgM and IgT of pPG-612-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 were observed. The results demonstrate that the recombinants could elicit both local mucosal and systemic immune responses. The proliferation of spleen lymphocytes in trouts immunized with pPG-612-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 showed that the recombinant strain could induce a strong cellular immune response. The IL-1β, IL-8, CK6, MHC-II, Mx, β-defensin, and TNF-1α levels in the spleen and gut suggest that the target molecular chemokine has the ability to attract relevant immune cells to participate in the inflammatory response and enhance the function of the innate immune response. Additionally, the pPG-612-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 induced the expression of cytokines, which have the effect of promoting inflammation to drive the differentiation of macrophages and clear target cells. After challenging with IPNV, the reduction in viral load caused by pPG-612-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 was significantly higher than that of the other groups. Thus, the recombinant pPG-612-CK6-VP2/L. casei 393 is a promising candidate for the development of an oral vaccine against IPNV.

Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) has for many years been considered one of the most important restraints to the production of salmonids in European aquaculture. In Norway, the disease is responsible for high losses in post-smolts in the first few weeks after sea transfer. Despite the importance of IPN, there are few epidemiological studies on risk factors and mitigation strategies. In this paper, we present analyses of data from all cohorts put to sea in 2009 to 2012 on Norwegian marine salmonid farms. The data used were obtained from national registers on salmonid production and disease outbreaks. The results showed that the risk of IPN outbreak was higher for spring versus autumn cohorts, Atlantic salmon versus rainbow trout and for cohorts on farms with previous history of IPN. The risk increased with increasing cohort size and infection pressure, whereas increasing temperature and weight at sea transfer decreased the risk. Estimations from a model of cumulative mortality within the first 6 mo after sea transfer showed that mortality in cohorts with IPN increased to approximately 7.2% as compared to a 'baseline' cohort with a mortality of 3.4%. If the cohort had both IPN and pancreas disease (PD), the estimated mortality increased to 12.9%, and cohorts with both IPN, PD and heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) had an estimated mortality of 16.6%, when all other significant factors were kept constant (these were cohort type, year, temperature at sea transfer and weight at sea transfer). Our results provide valuable inputs for mitigation strategies and for economic modelling of consequences of disease.

Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) causes high incidence of disease in salmonids during the first period after SW transfer. During this period as well as during periods of stress, cortisol levels increase and indications of a relationship between IPNV susceptibility and cortisol have been suggested. The intestine is an entry route and a target tissue for IPNV displaying severe enteritis and sloughing of the mucosa in infected fish. The mechanisms behind effects of the virus on the intestinal tissue and the impact of cortisol on the effect remain unclear. In the present study, Atlantic salmon post smolts treated with or without slow release cortisol implants were subjected to a cohabitant IPNV challenge. Analysis of genes and proteins related to the innate and acquired immune responses against virus was performed 6 days post-challenge using qPCR and immunohistochemistry. An increased mRNA expression of anti-viral cytokine interferon type I was observed in the proximal intestine and head kidney as a response to the viral challenge and this effect was suppressed by cortisol. No effect was seen in the distal intestine. T-cell marker CD3 as well as MHC-I in both intestinal regions and in the head kidney was down regulated at the mRNA level. Number of CD8α lymphocytes decreased in the proximal intestine in response to cortisol. On the other hand, mRNA expression of Mx and IL-1β increased in the proximal intestine and head kidney in IPNV challenged fish in the presence of cortisol suggesting that the immune activation shifts in timing and response pathway during simulated stress. The present study clearly demonstrates that IPNV infection results in a differentiated epithelial immune response in the different intestinal regions of the Atlantic salmon. It also reveals that the epithelial immune response differs from the systemic, but that both are modulated by the stress hormone cortisol.

Abstract
Databases of site production have an important role to play in the investigation and understanding of diseases, since they store valuable amounts of disease and management data. Diseases pose an important constraint to economic expansion of aquaculture. They are dependent on the complex interacting factors of pathogen, environment, and host, and the causes of death can be related to nutritional, environmental, and genetic factors of the host or infectious agents. We examined the drivers of mortality from a single site-production database, which represented one-third of Scottish farmed salmon Salmo salar L. production in 2005, to determine whether mortality 'benchmarking' data could be generalised across sites and production cycles. We show that farm mortality records play an important role in studying mortality losses and identifying of management problems in production. We found that mortalities varied across the months of the year and with the time of year of initial stocking. Production cycles that started in the third quarter of the year had the highest mortality overall. Furthermore, we found site-to-site variation in mortality that may have been caused by either random occurrence of epidemics and environmental events or other local effects.

Abstract
Time-course and organ transcriptional response profiles in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss were studied after oral DNA-vaccination with the VP2 gene of the infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) encapsulated in alginates. The profiles were also compared with those obtained after infection with IPNV. A group of immune-related genes (stat1, ifn1, ifng, mx1, mx3, il8, il10, il11, il12b, tnf2, mhc1uda, igm and igt) previously selected from microarray analysis of successful oral vaccination of rainbow trout, were used for the RTqPCR analysis. The results showed that oral VP2-vaccination qualitatively mimicked both the time-course and organ (head kidney, spleen, intestine, pyloric ceca, and thymus) transcriptional profiles obtained after IPNV-infection. Highest transcriptional differential expression levels after oral vaccination were obtained in thymus, suggesting those might be important for subsequent protection against IPNV challenges. However, transcriptional differential expression levels of most of the genes mentioned above were lower in VP2-vaccinated than in IPNV-infected trout, except for ifn1 which were similar. Together all the results suggest that the oral-alginate VP2-vaccination procedure immunizes trout against IPNV in a similar way as IPNV-infection does while there is still room for additional improvements in the oral vaccination procedure. Some of the genes described here could be used as markers to further optimize the oral immunization method.

Abstract
Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis virus (IPNV) is traditionally detected in adherent leucocytes using immunofluorescence labelled specific antibodies, PCR or by further cultivation of infected cell material in cell lines. We present a flow cytometry (FCM) assay for detection of intracellular IPNV in salmon leucocytes, where each single cell is analysed for presence of virus. The method is established using in vitro challenge of salmon leucocytes and CHSE-214 cells. For detection of intracellular virus antigen the Cytofix/Cytoperm kit from BD is optimal compared with paraformaldehyde or acetone/methanol for cell permeabilisation. This is combined with labelling procedures allowing both internal virus antigen labelling and external antibody labelling of cell markers to identify B-cells and neutrophils. The secondary antibodies were Alexa Fluor 647 for the internal labelling and RPE for the external labelling of bound cell subtype specific antibodies. The presences of virus within cells are also demonstrated by confocal and light microscopy of infected cells. IPNV is successfully detected in blood and head kidney leucocyte samples. IPNV is found both in B-cells and neutrophils as well as in other types of leucocytes that could not be identified due to lack of cell-specific antibodies. Serial samples from cultivation of in vitro infected leucocytes and CHSE-214 cells analysed by flow cytometry showed that number of infected cells increased with increasing number of days. The flow cytometry protocol for detection of intracellular IPNV is verified using CHSE-214 cells persistently infected with IPNV. These analyses are compared with virus titre and virus infected naive CHSE-214 cells. The detection of IPNV in persistently infected cells indicates that carrier fish can be analysed, as such cells are considered to have virus titres similar to carriers.

Abstract
Four novel cell lines from tissues of eye, gill, kidney and brain of Etroplus suratensis were developed and characterized. The cell lines of eye, gill, kidney and brain were sub-cultured for 245, 185, 170 and 90 passages, respectively, since 2008. These cell lines showed predominantly epithelial-like cells. Effects of temperature and foetal bovine serum concentration on the growth of these cell lines were examined and optimum growth was found at the temperature of 28° C with 20% foetal bovine serum. All the four cell lines were successfully cryopreserved and revived at different passage levels. Cell-cycle analysis of these cell lines was carried out by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products obtained from the cells and tissues of E. suratensis with primers specific to the conserved region of 16S ribosomal RNA and cytochrome oxidase I genes of E. suratensis revealed the origin of cell lines from E. suratensis. Antibodies raised against the tissues and cells of eye, kidney and gill were highly cross reacted to their specific tissue and cells of E. suratensis. Chromosomal analysis revealed that E. suratensis cells have a normal diploid karyotype with 2n = 48. The cells of these cell lines were successfully transfected with pEGFP vector DNA. The eye (IEE), gill (IEG) and kidney (IEK) cell lines were found to be susceptible to nodavirus but resistant to infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). The cells of gill, kidney and eye were applied to test the cytotoxicity of tannery effluents.

Abstract
In vertebrates, CD3 complex and CD4 and CD8 co-receptors are essential for signal transduction during T cell activation. In the present study, we report the mRNA spliced variants of the Atlantic salmon CD3ε, CD4 and CD8β and the effect of pathogen encounter on the expression of these variants. CD3ε is alternatively spliced in thymus, head kidney, spleen and gills to give rise to the complete mRNA sequence and to an alternative product that lacks the transmembrane exon. CD4 is also alternatively spliced in the thymus, head kidney, spleen and gills to form two variants, although the alternative product is barely detectable. The alternative product lacks the exon 1B encoding the D1 domain, which is essential for binding to MHC class II proteins. Two amplicons were also found for the CD8β gene; sequencing analysis revealed that the main PCR product corresponds to the previously reported CD8β sequence, whereas the variant sequence encodes a potential protein that lacks the Ig-like domain. The expression of CD3, CD4, CD8β genes also analyzed in head kidney of LPS-treated and IPNV infected salmon and different patterns of expression were observed. The presence and balance of the different variants of T cell co-receptors could be related to the ability of fish to induce a particular type of immune response, as well as, the ability of the pathogen to modify the fish immune response.

Abstract
Histological changes associated with infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) infection have historically been described for the pancreas and gut, but any involvement of the liver was poorly acknowledged or described. The aims of this study were to find robust evidence that the reported increase in liver pathology in Atlantic salmon post-smolts in natural outbreaks was effectively related to IPNV infection and retrospectively to report when such a shift in the involvement of the liver had taken place, supported by a histopathological description for a differential diagnosis. The study reports new findings concerning the dynamics of liver pathology development, with apoptosis, demonstrated by histological and immunological techniques, described as the most relevant and particular feature. Immunohistochemical examination of affected liver suggests apoptosis is not only the result of the virus infection itself but triggered through the action of the host's innate immune response. Liver involvement contributes to the nature of infection and becomes an important factor in the disease process. Additionally, it was established that the increase in infectious pancreatic necrosis prevalence is correlated with a new distinct pattern of outbreak distribution throughout the year. The role of smolt category (i.e. S1, S1/2 or S0), hence timing of seawater transfer as a strong correlating factor, is discussed.

Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a very serious viral disease in terms of its impact on production of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., fry and post-smolts. Post-smolts of Atlantic salmon were injected with infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) and cohabited with naive fish to produce natural infection. Cohabitant fish were sampled every 2 days, up to day 36 post-infection (p.i.). From 90 cohabitant fish, 11 (12.2%) were positive by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The first detection of IPNV by IHC occurred on day 16 p.i. which coincided with the onset of mortality in this group. Besides the pancreas, the liver was found to be a key target organ for IPNV. For the first time, the virus was observed in the islets of Langerhans and in the kidney corpuscles of Stannius which suggests that the virus could affect the fish's metabolism. The liver of two fish, which showed the most widespread presence of IPNV by IHC, had a pathology including focal necrosis and widespread presence of apoptotic hepatocytes, many of which did not stain for virus by IHC. Up-regulation of cytokine gene expression was found only in the IHC-positive (IHC+ve) fish and reflected the level of infection as determined by IHC positivity of the liver. In most fish, interferon (IFN), Mx, γIFN and γIP were up-regulated in liver and kidney, while only IFN and Mx were up-regulated in gill. IL1β and TNFα were not induced in any tissue. The gill showed variable levels of constitutive expression of IL1β and γIFN. The two fish with liver pathology had the highest level of IFN expression, especially relative to the level of Mx expression, in the liver compared with the other IHC+ve fish which did not have a liver pathology. The results suggest that following widespread infection of hepatocytes, the cells may over-produce IFN, resulting in apoptosis of neighbouring cells with subsequent death from liver failure.

Abstract
The mechanisms of viral persistence of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) are not well understood. In this study we have used a model of IPNV persistently infected CHSE (Chinook salmon embryonic) cells as correlate of persistent infection in fish focusing on differentially expressed genes using subtractive hybridization (SSH). Selected genes were also analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) in persistently infected parr of Atlantic salmon. Persistent infection was established by growing CHSE cells surviving an IPNV infection. Infection in rescued cells was non-lytic with a virus yield of 10(3)-10(5) TCID(50)/ml of supernatant, resembling what can be found during a persistent infection in vivo. By comparing gene expression in persistently infected cell vs. non-infected cells we found an upregulation of genes involved in direct interaction or degradation of viral proteins, proteasome activating subunit 3, and of ATRX (X-linked alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome), a transcription repressor, which may indicate a repression of viral replication through reduced transcription. Further ephrin B1 (signal-transduction group) was found strongly up-regulated, and receptors for various ephrins are used for cell interaction and as entry points for other viruses in higher vertebrates. Endonuclease/reverse transcriptase 1 (RVT1) was also found highly up-regulated in persistently infected cells. The comparison of persistently infected cells to in vivo infected fish showed that the expression profiles found in CHSE cells give corresponding results for selected genes, as ATRX, ephrin B1 and RVT-1. We observed similar results by use of two independent methods (SSH and qPCR) for 8 out of 15 genes analyzed and the transcript profile of persistently IPNV-infected cells involve upregulation of genes encoding proteins involved in viral protein degradation and translation inhibition. The understanding is that this may contribute to keep the number of virus particles low during viral persistence.

Abstract
The infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) affects several species of freshwater and marine fish. In Mexico, IPNV has an important impact on farming of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss; however, IPNV distribution in Mexico is unclear. The diagnosis of IPNV is laborious; usually it is based on isolation tests in cell culture followed by immunological identification using techniques of serum neutralization, immunofluorescence, or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It has recently been demonstrated that reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is an adequate method for the detection of aquatic birnaviruses. However, its diagnostic use is still limited because very low titers of viable virus cannot be easily detected. In this study, a combination of short-time cell culture and multiplex RT-PCR was established for the diagnosis of IPNV in rainbow trout obtained from farms in the state of Mexico. Three primer sets were used in a single reaction in the multiplex RT-PCR to increase the probability of identifying all serotypes of IPNV serogroup A as well as to help prevent a false-negative result. This approach was able to identify samples with an IPNV concentration of just 0.01 tissue culture infective dose with 50% endpoint (TCID50)/mL, and it identified more infected fish than RT-PCR alone or first-passage cell culture alone. Moreover, this technique made the same identifications as second-passage cell culture but in approximately 30% of the time needed for second-passage cell culture. Consequently, the time and cost efficiency of IPNV diagnosis were greatly reduced.

Abstract
In high intensive fish production systems, hyperoxygenation and reduced flow are often used to save water and increase the holding capacity. This commonly used husbandry practice has been shown to be stressful to fish and increase mortality after infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) challenge, but the cause and effect relationship is not known. Salmonids are particularly sensitive to stress during smoltification and the first weeks after seawater (SW) transfer. This work aimed at investigating the impact of hyperoxygenation combined with reduced flow in fresh water (FW), on the intestinal barrier in FW as well as during later life stages in SW. It further aims at investigating the role of the intestinal barrier during IPNV challenge and possible secondary infections. Hyperoxygenation in FW acted as a stressor as shown by significantly elevated plasma cortisol levels. This stressful husbandry condition tended to increase paracellular permeability (P(app)) as well as translocation of Aeromonas salmonicida in the posterior intestine of Atlantic salmon. After transfer to SW and subsequent IPNV challenge, intestinal permeability, as shown by P(app), and translocation rate of A. salmonicida increased in the anterior intestine, concomitant with further elevation in plasma cortisol levels. In the anterior intestine, four of five fish displayed alterations in intestinal appearance. In two of five fish, IPNV caused massive necrosis with significant loss of cell material and in a further two fish, IPNV caused increased infiltration of lymphocytes into the epithelium and granulocytes in the lamina propria. Hyperoxygenation and reduced flow in the FW stage may serve as stressors with impact mainly during later stages of development. Fish with an early history of hyperoxygenation showed a higher stress response concomitant with a disturbed intestinal barrier function, which may be a cause for the increased susceptibility to IPNV infection and increased susceptibility to secondary infections.

Abstract
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT)-2 is a molecule involved in the type I interferon (IFN) signalling pathway. The full length cDNA sequence of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) ssSTAT2 was determined and phylogenetic analysis of the amino acid sequence grouped this novel salmon gene to the STAT2 clade. This represents the first fish STAT2 report. The gene encodes for a 802 aa polypeptide that has 38% identity to the human or murine STAT2. The expression was monitored by qPCR in the kidney of animals over the time of infection with the Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus (ISAV) and in TO cells infected with Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) or with the Salmon Alphavirus (SAV). SAV and ISAV induced an approximate 10-fold increase in the level of expression of ssSTAT2 gene whilst IPNV only induced a 1.5-fold increase.

Abstract
If osmotic stress and reduced seawater tolerance are predisposing factors for infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) outbreaks in farmed Atlantic salmon, increased survival by enhancing access to energy would be expected. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to increase energy access in 1-year old Atlantic salmon after sea transfer by increasing the level of dietary fat, by exchanging some of the dietary oil with more easily oxidized medium chain triacylglycerols, or by dietary supplementation of potentially energy enhancing additives such as clofibrate and tetradecylthioacetic acid (TTA). A natural outbreak of IPN occurred 8 weeks after sea transfer, and a significant dietary effect explaining 76% of the variation in mortality was observed. Relative percentage survival for the fish fed TTA in sea water was 70% when compared with the unsupplemented control, reducing mortality from 7.8 to 2.3%. Muscle fat content and plasma chloride were related to IPN mortality, suggesting that reduced hypoosmoregulatory capacity might be a predisposing factor to the onset of an IPN outbreak. Based on the observation of a threefold increase in white muscle mitochondrial fatty acid oxidizing activity by TTA, it is suggested that TTA has resulted in a re-allocation of dietary fatty acids from storage to energy producing oxidation.

Abstract
ISG15 is one of the earliest and most predominant proteins to be induced in mammals following IFN-alpha/beta stimulation, which suggests that it has an important function in the interferon system. Similar to ubiquitin, ISG15 forms covalent conjugates with its target proteins, but free ISG15 is released from human lymphocytes and monocytes during IFN-alpha/beta stimulation. In this work we describe a 17.3 kDa ISG15 orthologue in Atlantic salmon (AsISG15) with characteristic features of ISG15 proteins including tandem ubiquitin-homology domains and a conserved carboxy-terminal conjugating motif (LRLRGG). Furthermore, Northern blot analysis revealed strong induction by polyinosinic polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) and by viral infections, while Western blot analysis using a specific antibody generated against AsISG15 confirmed induction mediated by recombinant Atlantic salmon IFN-alpha/beta and demonstrated conjugation of AsISG15 to cellular proteins. Interestingly, the pattern of AsISG15 modified target proteins differed during ISAV infection compared to direct IFN-alpha/beta stimulation. Immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated extracellular, free AsISG15 in supernatants of leucocytes stimulated with poly I:C. Moreover, immunoprecipitation of an about 65 kDa ISAV protein from infected TO cells using anti-AsISG15 antiserum suggests that binding between the AsISG15 and the ISAV protein occurred. Taken together, the results suggest that AsISG15 has a role in the antiviral interferon response of Atlantic salmon.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the capacity of enteral nutrition, in comparison with the total parenteral nutrition (TPN) plus antibiotic therapy, for avoiding pancreatic necrosis infection in the severe acute pancreatitis. METHODS In the period between October 1998 and September 2003, 87 patients met the inclusion criteria and took part in this research. Within the first week from their admission, 43 patients received TPN and 44 patients received total enteral nutrition (TEN). An adequate prophylactic antibiotic therapy was used in both groups. The severity of the manifestations was similar for both groups having a tomographic 'severity index' of 8 and an entry C-reactive protein of 208 and 203 mg/l, respectively. RESULTS The group that received TPN suffered an organ failure in 79% of the cases, while the percentage showed by the group that received TEN was 31%; 88 and 25% of the patients in each group requiring a surgical intervention, respectively (p < 0.001). There was decreased presence of pancreatic necrosis infection in the group of patients that was supplied with TEN (20%) than in the group receiving TPN, where it reached 74% (p < 0.001). The death rate was significantly higher among the patients who received TPN, (35%), while for the patients who received TEN it was only 5% (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION TEN could be used as a prophylactic therapy for infected pancreatic necrosis since it significantly diminished the necrosis infection as well as the mortality.

Abstract
A clinical and histopathological review was carried out of 21 outbreaks of acute infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in Scottish Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., farms (13 marine and eight fresh water) during 1991-2004. A distinctive syndrome was evident in both post-smolts in sea water and fry in fresh water, where liver lesions, which had not previously been associated with IPN, became a consistent finding in addition to the more typical pancreatic and intestinal changes. Initial cases were described in post-smolts in Shetland, but by the end of the period of investigation this type of pathology had extended down the West coast of Scotland and into Ireland. Limited viral strain analysis suggested that similar strains were involved in both fresh water and sea water and that these differed from earlier isolates from rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum). In fresh water, recovered fish frequently developed a greatly distended intestine associated with accumulation of undigested food. In sea water, after the initial, often significant (50% or more), losses, there were many fish which failed to grow and became chronically emaciated and prone to sea louse infection. Although use of transfer diets containing immune enhancers and the selection of IPN resistant broodstock has reduced losses the disease remains a serious cause of economic loss.

Abstract
Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a well-known acute viral disease of salmonid species. We have identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with resistance to this disease in rainbow trout. We searched for linkage among 51 microsatellite markers used to construct a framework linkage map in backcross families of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), produced by crossing IPN-resistant (YN-RT201) and -susceptible (YK-RT101) strains. Two putative QTLs affecting disease resistance were detected on chromosomes A (IPN R S-1) and C (IPN R/S-2), respectively, suggesting that this is a polygenic trait in rainbow trout. These markers have great potential for use in marker-assisted selection (MAS) for IPN resistance and provide the basis for cloning of IPN resistance genes. Clarification of the genetic bases of complex traits has broad implications for fundamental research, but will also be of practical benefit to fish breeding.

Abstract
The zebrafish Danio rerio is a new model system for studying the genetics of hematopoiesis. To define naturally occurring viruses which could infect and replicate within hematopoietic precursors of the zebrafish, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) were studied. Infection of whole fish with viral supernatants demonstrated infectious replicants for both viruses, indicating that the virus host range includes the zebrafish. In other species, infection with these viruses leads to prominent hematopoietic necrosis of the head kidney, the major site of adult hematopoiesis. We detected a transient toxicity of the virus to hematopoietic precursors and terminally differentiated red cells after viral infections. The kinetics of hematopoietic defects between IHNV and IPNV infection differed; fish infected with either virus, however, recovered by 6 days postinfection. In contrast to other fish infected with the virus, hematocrit did not change appreciably during this time. These studies are the first to demonstrate IHNV and IPNV infection of the zebrafish and reveal the potential for use of such viruses for gene transfer experiments to infect zebrafish hematopoietic cells.

At −70 C, the decrease in infectivity was exponential through 36 weeks with a total loss of approximately 0.5 log

units. The virus is antigenic, and cross-neutralization occurred between the original isolate and a feral strain isolated from tissue cultures of apparently normal trout. The reported characteristics, together with the known size of 30 mμ, are all consistent with the characteristics of the Picornavirus group.
