  • Novel Reovirus Associated with Epidemic Mortality in Wild Largemouth Bass

Here, we describe the discovery and characterization of Largemouth bass reovirus (LMBRV), found during investigation of a mortality event in wild largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) in 2015 in WI, USA. LMBRV has spherical virions of approximately 80 nm diameter containing 10 segments of linear dsRNA, aligning it with members of the genus Orthoreovirus, which infect mammals and birds, rather than members of the genus Aquareovirus, which contain 11 segments and infect teleost fishes. LMBRV is only between 24 % and 68 % similar at the amino acid level to its closest relative, Piscine reovirus (PRV), the putative cause of heart and skeletal muscle inflammation of farmed salmon. LMBRV expands the Received 11 May 2016 known diversity and host range of its lineage, which suggests that an undiscovered diversity of Accepted 1 August 2016 related pathogenic reoviruses may exist in wild fishes.

  • Genetic and Pathogenic Characterisation of 11 Avian

In this study, we isolated and identified 11 ARV field strains from chickens with viral arthritis and reduced growth in northern China. Comparative analysis of the σC nucleotide and amino acid sequences demonstrated that all isolates, except LN05 and JS01, were closely related to ARV S1133 and clustered in the first genetic lineage. LN05 and JS01 strains were clustered in the third lineage with the ARV 138 strain. Using S1133 as a reference, five isolates were selected to infect specific-pathogen-free chickens, and we found that the recent isolated Chinese ARV strains had higher replication ability in vivo and caused enhanced mortality than the S1133 strain. These findings suggest that the pathogenicity of Chinese ARVs has been changing in recent years and disease control may become more difficult. This study provides genetic and pathogenic characterisations of ARV strains isolated in northern China and calls for a sustained surveillance of ARV infection in China in order to support a better prevention and control of the disease. Avian reoviruses (ARVs) are important poultry pathogens that cause considerable economic losses in poultry husbandry1. ARVs were first described and isolated as the pathogenic agents responsible for tenosynovitis in young chickens in 19592.

CrCPV is characterized by small (0.1–1.0 m), irregularly shaped inclusion bodies that are multiply embedded. Lab- oratory studies demonstrated that divalent cations inXuenced transmission of CrCPV to Culex quinquefasciatus larvae; magnesium enhanced CrCPV transmission by »30% while calcium inhibited transmission. CrCPV is the second cypovirus from a mosquito that has been conWrmed by using molecular analysis. CrCPV has a genome composed of 10 dsRNA segments with an electropherotype similar to the recently discovered UsCPV-17 from the mosquito Uranotaenia sapphirina, but distinct from the lepidopteran cypoviruses BmCPV-1 (Bombyx mori) and TnCPV-15 (Trichoplusia ni). Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence analysis of CrCPV segment 10 (polyhe- drin) suggests that CrCPV is closely related (83% nucleotide sequence identity and 87% amino acid sequence identity) to the newly char- acterized UsCPV-17 but is unrelated to the 16 remaining CPV species from lepidopteran hosts.

    Vol. 120: 109–113, 2016 DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Published July 7 doi: 10.3354/dao03009 Dis Aquat Org OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS Occurrence of salmonid alphavirus (SAV) and piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) infections in wild sea trout Salmo trutta in Norway Abdullah Sami Madhun*, Cecilie Helen Isachsen, Linn Maren Omdal, Ann Cathrine Bårdsgjære Einen, Pål Arne Bjørn, Rune Nilsen, Egil Karlsbakk Institute of Marine Research, Nordnesgaten 50, 5005 Bergen, Norway ABSTRACT: Viral diseases represent a serious problem in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) farm- ing in Norway. Pancreas disease (PD) caused by salmonid alphavirus (SAV) and heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) caused by piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) are among the most fre- quently diagnosed viral diseases in recent years. The possible spread of viruses from salmon farms to wild fish is a major public concern. Sea trout S. trutta collected from the major farming areas along the Norwegian coast are likely to have been exposed to SAV and PRV from farms with dis- ease outbreaks. We examined 843 sea trout from 4 counties in Norway for SAV and PRV infec- tions. We did not detect SAV in any of the tested fish, although significant numbers of the trout were caught in areas with frequent PD outbreaks. Low levels of PRV were detected in 1.3% of the sea trout. PRV-infected sea trout were caught in both salmon farming and non-farming areas, so the occurrence of infections was not associated with farming intensity or HSMI cases. Our results suggest that SAV and PRV infections are uncommon in wild sea trout. Hence, we found no evi- dence that sea trout are at risk from SAV or PRV released from salmon farms.
