AUSTIN Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA, Scotland, UK Since the late nineteenth century, the acquisition of pure bacterial cultures has been central to all facets of microbiology. Fish pathology is no exception insofar as the goal of disease diagnostics and research is the acquisition of pure cultures of the pathogen. The basic premise is that pathological material may be inoculated onto a solid (usually gelled with agar) or into a liquid medium with incubation for a pre- determined interval when individual cells of the pathogen will be cloned into dense culture growth, which will then be subjected to further study. However, the range of media used by fish bacteriologists is restricted, and often centres on tryptone soya agar/broth, brain heart infusion agar/broth and/or marine equivalents. Moreover, the incubation regimes may have little relevance to the growth conditions of the fish. However, the desired outcome is the presence of dense virtually pure growth, which is taken as indicative of recovery of the pathogen. Unfortunately at best, a snap shot of the disease is obtained, and it may not be possible to decide if only one organism instigated the infection, and then contributed to the development of overt disease signs. It is unlikely that culturing on a single occasion would identify microbial population succession within a disease cycle. Also, conventional techniques are unlikely to recognise when two or more discrete organisms working synergistically to produce a single pathology. This situation has been observed with ulcerative conditions in cyprinids when Aeromonas salmonicida and A. hydrophila/ A. sobria may be involved together, with the former instigating infection, and the latter leading to the developing of large ulcers. Certainly, it is realized that not all cells will multiply sufficiently to produce visible colonies. Some cells produce micro-colonies that are invisible to the naked eye. Moreover, the proportion of culturable cells that produce visible growth will vary according to the species and the state of the cells – are they actively growing or comparatively inactive? The latter have a poorer rate of recovery in terms of culturability. The next premise is that an individual colony is derived from multiplication of a single cell. Yet, it is realized that cells in close proximity to each other may multiply and come together to produce a single colony. Then, the resultant growth will most certainly be derived from more than one initial cell. This has greater relevance if the two initial cells are from two different species. Although it is generally assumed that streaking and re-streaking on fresh media will purify any culture, there is evidence for microbial consortia interacting to form what appear to be single pure cultures. Thus, seemingly pure cultures of purple-pigmented aquatic bacteria were recognized to contain cells of A. salmonicida. As so-called pure cultures underpin most of microbiology, it is relevant to understand that the culture does not necessarily contain clones of identical bacteria, but that there is a variation in the genetic potential of the component cells, i.e. the cells are not homogeneous. Certainly, many bacteria change rapidly upon culturing in the laboratory. Cells may become bigger and less active in the laboratory, i.e. genetic potential is lost. It is difficult to be sure if the changes reflect a loss of DNA or whether standard culturing methods select faster growing cells that are effectively not representative of the environment from which they were derived. 5 KN-‐2 AQUATIC VERSUS NON-AQUATIC HERPESVIRUSES: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES A. VANDERPLASSCHEN Immunology-Vaccinology, Fundamental and Applied Research for Animals & Health (FARAH), Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Liège, Liège, Belgium The order Herpesvirales encompasses viruses that share structural, genetic and biological properties. However, members of this order infect hosts ranging from molluscs to humans. It is currently divided into three phylogenetically related families. The Herpesviridae family encompasses viruses infecting mammals, birds or reptiles. It is by far the most important, in terms both of the number of its members and the volume of studies that have been devoted to them. The Alloherpesviridae family encompasses viruses infecting fish and amphibians. And finally, the Malacoherpesviridae family comprises viruses infecting molluscs. Over the last decade, an increasing number of studies have been devoted to alloherpesviruses and malacoherpesviruses. Scientific interest in these viruses tends to originate from their impact on wildlife, the economic losses they cause to the aquaculture industry, or their importance as fundamental research object. In this talk, we will review the similarities and the differences existing between herpesviruses infecting aquatic and non-aquatic animals. 6 KN-‐3 WHAT’S NEW IN BIVALVE MOLLUSC PATHOLOGY?
