A zebrafish (Danio rerio) model of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) infection

Virology, 2008
Zebrafish is a model animal for studies of genetics, development, toxicology, oncology, and immunology. In this study, infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) was used to establish an infection in zebrafish, and the experimental conditions were established and characterized.

Molecular confirmation of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) in farmed and imported ornamental fish in Australia [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2015
Viruses of the genus Megalocytivirus have not been detected in wild populations of fish in Australia but circulate in imported ornamental fish. In 2012, detection of a megalocytivirus in healthy platys Xiphophorus maculatus was reported from a farm in Australia during surveillance testing as part of a research project undertaken at the University of ...

Applications of Microalgal Biotechnology for Disease Control in Aquaculture [PDF]

, 2018
Aquaculture industries, and in particular the farming of fish and crustaceans, are major contributors to the economy of many countries and an increasingly important component in global food supply. However, the severe impact of aquatic microbial diseases

High-throughput virtual screening of marine algae metabolites as high-affinity inhibitors of ISKNV major capsid protein: An analysis of in-silico models and DFT calculation to find novel drug molecules for fighting infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV)

Heliyon, 2023
Infectious Spleen and Kidney Necrosis Virus (ISKNV) is linked to severe infections that cause significant financial losses in global aquaculture. ISKNV enters the host cell through its major capsid protein (MCP), and the resulting infection can lead to mass mortality of fish.

First report of Iridovirus (ISKNV) infection in Israeli mariculture gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) at the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Israeli Journal of Aquaculture - Bamidgeh, 2021
Megalocytiviruses have caused mass mortalities in various farmed fish species, both edible and ornamental. Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) belongs to this family of viruses and induces lethal diseases in cultured fish. Here, we publish the first report describing this epizootic virus affecting the sea bream (Sparus aurata) in the ...

Tetraodon nigroviridis as a nonlethal model of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) infection

Virology, 2010
Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) is the type species of the genus Megalocytivirus, family Iridoviridae. We have previously established a high mortality ISKNV infection model of zebrafish (Danio rerio). In this study, a nonlethal Tetraodon nigroviridis model of ISKNV infection was established.

First outbreak of an infection with infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) in ornamental fish in Germany [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2016
In 2014, infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), a member of the genus Megalocytivirus, was detected for the first time in ornamental fish in Germany. Since 2013, angelfish Pterophyllum spp. originating from Colombia have experienced significant epizootics in a number of German retailers' facilities.

First detection of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) associated with massive mortalities in farmed tilapia in Africa [PDF]

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2019
SummaryIn late 2018, unusual patterns of very high mortality (>50% production) were reported in intensive tilapia cage culture systems across Lake Volta in Ghana. Samples of fish and fry were collected and analysed from two affected farms between October 2018 and February 2019.

Differential gene expression profile in spleen of mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi infected with ISKNV, derived from suppression subtractive hybridization [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2006
To study the interaction between an invading virus and its host, we investigated differential gene expression in mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi experimentally infected with infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV). Subtractive cDNA libraries were constructed by suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) from spleens of mock- and ISKNV ...

RNA-seq liver transcriptome analysis reveals an activated MHC-I pathway and an inhibited MHC-II pathway at the early stage of vaccine immunization in zebrafish [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a prominent vertebrate model of human development and pathogenic disease and has recently been utilized to study teleost immune responses to infectious agents threatening the aquaculture industry.
