RT-PCR method was applied to detect and clone the nucleocapsid protein (N) gene and glycoprotein (G) gene for sequencing 5 Korean VHSV isolates from cultured olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Phylogenetic analysis was performed to investigate their relationship with the VHSV strains described previously and isolated from different geographical area. Generally, VHSV strains were separated phylogenetically according to the major geographical area of isolation: Genogroup I (American type), Genogroup Il (British Isles) and Genogroup ill (European type). This study revealed that all 5 Korean VHSV isolates were belonged to Genogroup I and closely related to Japanese Obama25 type.

바이러스성 출혈성 패혈증 바이러스(VHSV)는 넙치를 포함한 어류 양식의 막대한 피해를 일으키는 바이러스 병원체이며, VHSV가 생성하는 6개의 바이러스 단백질들 중에서 NV 단백질이 병원성에 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있다. VHSV-감염 넙치를 이용한 전사체 마이크로 어레이의 선행 분석 결과에 의하면 VHSV 감염이 해당과정 효소들의 mRNA 발현을 억제함으로써 넙치 세포에서 ATP 생성을 감소시켰음을 알 수 있었다. 이들 결과를 토대로, 본 연구에서는 VHSV NV 단백질이 해당과정 효소인 glucokinase의 발현에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, NV 단백질은 넙치 세포에서 glucokinase의 mRNA 발현을 감소시켰으며, 새롭게 동정한 glucokinase의 유전자 프로모터의 활성 실험결과, NV 단백질이 glucokinase의 프로모터 활성을 저해함을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 작용 결과들로 인하여 VHSV NV 단백질의 발현이 세포 내로의 포도당 흡수 또한 감소시켰다. 이러한 결과들은 VHSV NV 단백질이 유전자 발현의 전사 수준에서 음성적으로 해당과정의 효소 발현을 조절함을 의미하며, 결국 세포 내 에너지의 결핍으로 넙치의 폐사로 이어질 가능성을 보여주는 것이다.

2016년 2월에서 9월까지 강원도 고성, 양양, 강릉에서 각각 양성 중인 명태를 샘플링하여 RT-PCR법으로 바이러스(viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, VHSV; nervous necrosis virus, NNV; marine birnavirus, MABV)의 검출을 시도하였다. 비장시료를 대상으로 한 one-step PCR에서 VHSV, NNV, MABV 모두 검출되지 않았으며, 뇌시료에서 NNV가 1.8%(1/55)의 검출률을 나타내었다. Two-step PCR에서는 VHSV가 51.6%(32/62 set), NNV가 1.6%(1/62 set)의 비장시료에서 검출되었으며 MABV는 검출되지 않았다. 뇌시료에서는 NNV가 3.6%(2/55)의 검출률을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 양식산 명태에서 처음으로 VHSV와 NNV가 검출되었다. 그러나 거의 모든 양성개체에서 two-step PCR법으로 해당 바이러스의 유전자가 검출되었으며, 모니터링 기간 동안 바이러스 감염이 의심되는 외관증상을 보이는 개체 및 폐사 개체는 발견되지 않아 바이러스의 역가는 매우 낮을 것으로 생각된다. 차후 지속적인 모니터링 및 세포주를 사용한 바이러스의 분리, 병원성의 확인, PCR 양성개체의 캐리어 가능성 확인 등이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) mediates the transfer of polymeric immunoglobulin to protect organisms and is one of the most important mucosal effectors. In this study, the developmental stage- and tissue-specific expression of pIgR were observed before virus inoculation in olive flounder. pIgR was gradually expressed until the formation of immune tissue, exhibiting high expression in the late juvenile period; thereafter, pIgR expression gradually decreased and exhibited high expression in the spleen and skin. Moreover, pIgR expression after viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus infection was high in the kidney and spleen tissues at high density and low at low density. The results of this study can provide a basis for future studies on breeding density, virus expression, and immune system studies in fish.

We examined the cause of a disease outbreak in adult olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, which occurred at a Korean aquaculture farm in Korea in 2011. The principal signs included an expanded abdomen and congested liver, with persistent mortality (a little over two months). At the beginning of the outbreak, farm administrators misjudged the disease as bacterial in origin, because of the aforementioned signs, persistent mortality, and the detection of bacterial species, including Vibrio spp. and Streptococcus spp. Moreover, the detection of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) by reverse trasnscription-PCR analysis was complicated by use of the VHS-VN primer set, which has been in general use recently, because it produced weak bands in some samples. Therefore, we recommend the use of at least two different primer sets in the diagnosis of VHSV. Our histopathological findings indicate that necrotizing myocarditis could be considered a pathogenic sign of VHSV infection.

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) is one of the most serious viral diseases affecting farmed olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in Asian countries. VHS, caused by viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), occurs in over 80 different cultured and wild fish species worldwide. Our previous study demonstrated that VHSV infection can be restricted by adjusting the water temperature to over 17℃ from the host optima. We confirmed that the effective VHSV immersion vaccine treatment was a tissue culture infection dose (TCID) of 10^5.5 TCID₅₀/mL at 17℃. However, the safety of live VHSV immersion vaccines remains unclear. The objectives of this study were to 1) demonstrate the safety of the live VHSV immersion vaccine under co-habitant conditions and 2) estimate the pathogenicity of VHSV in live VHSV-vaccinated flounder at 10℃. No mortality was observed in olive flounder treated with the live VHSV immersion vaccine, and the vaccinated flounder challenged with VHSV did not transfer VHSV to naïve fish at 10℃ through cohabitation. VHSV titration was below the detection limit (< 1.3 log TCID₅₀/mL) in live VHSV immersion vaccine-treated flounder challenged with VHSV at 10℃. This study demonstrated that flounder treated with the live VHSV immersion vaccine were resistant to VHSV infection, and the live vaccine was also safe for naïve fish even at a water temperature known to be VHS infectious.

2015년 2월부터 2018년 8월까지 총 1,253 마리의 자연산 명태 (Gadus chalcogrammus)를 강원도 고성 아야진항 근해에서 정치망을 사용하여 포획한 후, 바이러스 (viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, VHSV; nervous necrosis virus, NNV; marine birnavirus, MABV) 모니터링을 RT-PCR법으로 수행하였다. One-step PCR법으로 비장시료 및 뇌시료에서는 대상 바이러스가 모두 검출되지 않았으며, 일부 시료를 two-step PCR법으로 검사한 결과 VHSV는 19.7% (36/183)의 비장시료에서 검출되었다. 또한, NNV는 4.4% (8/183)의 비장시료, 1.2% (3/259)의 뇌시료에서 검출되었다. 검출된 바이러스의 계통분석 결과, 기존의 국내에서 분리되는 바이러스의 유전형에 각각 속하는 것으로 나타났다 (Genotype IVa, RGNNV genotype). 바이러스의 분리를 시도하지 않아 검출된 바이러스의 활성은 알 수 없지만, 모든 양성 시료가 two-step PCR법으로 검출되었으므로 매우 낮을 것으로 추측된다.

Antiviral DNA vaccine carrying a gene for a major antigenic viral protein have received considerable attention as a new approach in vaccine development. For fish viruses effects of DNA vaccine encoding viral G gene of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus(IHNV) and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV)have been demonst.ated previously(Lapatra et al., 2001) Hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV) causes hemorragic disease on flounder.

Lectins play significant roles in the innate immune responses through binding to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the surfaces of microorganisms. In the present study, tissue distribution and expression analysis of olive flounder lectins were performed after viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) challenge. Fish egg lectin and serum lectin were found to be predominantly expressed in the gills and liver, these results indicate that the transcript expression of olive flounder lectins is concentrated in immune-related tissues. Following a VHSV challenge, an overall increase in the transcript levels of the genes was observed and the expression patterns were distinctly divided into early and later responses during VHSV infection. In conclusion, olive flounder lectins are specifically expressed in immune-related organs and induced in both the immediate and long-lasting immune responses to VHSV in the olive flounder. These results indicate that lectins may be play important roles in the host defense mechanism and involved in the innate and adaptive immune response to viruses in fish.
