The infection of irido-like virus in cultured turbot

양식산 터봇, Scophthalmus maximus에서의 irido-like virus 감염

  • Published : 20031200

Abstract

The high mortality of cultured juvenile turbot, Scophthalmus maximus occurred in Gochang on June, 2003. The diseased fish was lethargic with reduced feed intake. Grossly, these fish showed pale body, abdominal extension and exophthalmia. The dominant internal gross features of diseased fish were severely enlarged spleen, pale gills and/ or liver. Diseased fish histologically showed basophilic enlarged cells in the kidney, spleen, gill, heart, stomach, intestine, liver, pancreas and adipose tissue. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveled hexagonal virions in the cytoplasm of necrotic cells. The viral particles lead a central electron-dense core and an electron translucent zone, and were 136-159 nm in diameter. These results suggest that the virus belonging to the iridoviridae was responsible for the mortality of cultured juvenile turbot.

본 연구는 병리조직학적 및 전자현미경적 방법을 통해 양식산 turbot에서 발생하는 Irido-like virus의 감염증을 밝히고자 한 것이다. 2003년 6월 전북 고창 소재 육상수조에서 양식중인 turbot 치어에서 50-70%의 대량폐사가 발생하였다. 병어는 사료섭취가 저하되고 힘없이 유영하다 폐사되었으며, 죽기 직전의 어류는 복부가 팽만되고 안구가 돌출되며 체색이 옅어지는 증상을 보였다. 해부학적 조사 결과, 아가미 빈혈과 간이 퇴색되어 있었으며, 특히 비장조직이 심하게 비대되어 있었다. 병어에 대한 조직학적 검사에서 비대 세포를 특징으로 하는 특이 병변이 주로 신장과 비장의 조혈조직에서 관찰되었으며, 아가미, 심장, 위, 장, 간, 췌장, 지방 조직에서도 관찰되었다. 그리고 전자현미경적 관찰 결과, 비대 세포의 세포질내에서 육각형의 지름이 136-159 nm인 Irido-like virus를 관찰할 수 있었다.
