Ictalurid herpesvirus 2 (IcHV-2) is a species of virus in the genus Ictalurivirus , family Alloherpesviridae , and order Herpesvirales . [1]

Contents

Also known as the black bullhead virus, it is phylogenetically similar to Ictalurid herpesvirus 1 (IcHV1). Distinction between the two species is reliant on the places of detection and the severity of clinical signs. IcHV2 has been experimentally observed to result in more severe clinical signs in channel catfish than IcHV1. [2]

Background

Ictalurid herpesvirus 2 was first observed in 1994 after two mass mortality events occurred in two different catfish farms in Italy, resulting in severe economic loss. [3]

As observed in experimental trials, there is a higher mortality rate in channel catfish when exposed to IcHV2 than in trials and previous background studies where channel catfish were exposed to IcHV1. [2] It is also shown that through syncytial cytopathic effect, both strains of Ictalurid herpesvirus are homologous to the syncytia produced. [3]

Genome

Next-generation sequencing performed on IcHV2 revealed its complete genome to be 142,925 bp, along with 77 (predicted) protein-coding regions with 12 open reading frames (ORFs) where these ORFs are seen to be homologous with every other Alloherpesvirus sequenced. [4] High synteny between IcHV1 and IcHV2 was also observed.

Diagnosis

Detection of IcHV2 uses quantitative PCR (qPCR) for any potential carriers or for checking for isolates. While IcHV2 was detected in all organs, the virus was seen the highest in the kidney and spleen; meanwhile, liver and gill concentrations were much lower. [5]

Other uses of qPCR can help detect IcHV2 in latently infected carrier fish. [5] This helps reduce the risk of potentially relocating the virus and introducing it into new aquaculture and whether or not high morbidity rates are from IcHV2 or another pathogen.

Pathology

Clinical signs of IcHV2 include disoriented swimming or instances where they dwell at the surface of the pond bank. [3] Other signs include scattered hemorrhages and kidney tissue death. [4]

IcHV2 propagation control is a highly researched topic due to it showing much more intensive mortality rates in channel catfish than IcHV1. The high mortality rate is due to the fact that IcHV2 propagation and viral transmission has an optimal temperature of 24oC, which is relatively lower than IcHV1. [4] Furthermore, overcrowded pens contribute to the transmission of the virus.

White spot syndrome (WSS) is a viral infection of penaeid shrimp. The disease is highly lethal and contagious, killing shrimp quickly. Outbreaks of this disease have wiped out the entire populations of many shrimp farms within a few days, in places throughout the world.

Marek's disease is a highly contagious viral neoplastic disease in chickens. It is named after József Marek, a Hungarian veterinarian who described it in 1907. Marek's disease is caused by an alphaherpesvirus known as "Marek's disease virus" (MDV) or Gallid alphaherpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2). The disease is characterized by the presence of T cell lymphoma as well as infiltration of nerves and organs by lymphocytes. Viruses related to MDV appear to be benign and can be used as vaccine strains to prevent Marek's disease. For example, the related herpesvirus found in turkeys (HVT), causes no apparent disease in the birds, and continues to be used as a vaccine strain for prevention of Marek's disease.

Canid alphaherpesvirus 1 (CaHV-1), formerly Canine herpesvirus (CHV), is a virus of the family Herpesviridae which most importantly causes a fatal hemorrhagic disease in puppies less than two to three weeks old. It is known to exist in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, England and Germany. CHV was first recognized in the mid-1960s from a fatal disease in puppies.

Bovine malignant catarrhal fever (BMCF) is a fatal lymphoproliferative disease caused by a group of ruminant gamma herpes viruses including Alcelaphine gammaherpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1) and Ovine gammaherpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) These viruses cause unapparent infection in their reservoir hosts, but are usually fatal in cattle and other ungulates such as deer, antelope, and buffalo. In Southern Africa the disease is known as snotsiekte, from the Afrikaans.

Malacoherpesviridae is a family of DNA viruses in the order Herpesvirales. Molluscs serve as natural hosts, making members of this family the only known herpesviruses to infect invertebrates. There are currently only two species recognised in this family, both classified into separate genera. Disease associated with this family includes sporadic episodes of high mortality among larvae and juveniles. The family name Malacoherpesviridae is derived from Greek word 'μαλακός (malacos) meaning 'soft' and from Greek word 'μαλάκιον (malakion) meaning 'mollusc'.

Lymphocystivirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Iridoviridae. Fish serve as natural hosts. There are four species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include: tumor-like growths on the skin.

<i>Alloherpesviridae</i> Family of viruses

Alloherpesviridae is a family of viruses in the order Herpesvirales. This family includes the species that infect fish and amphibians. Phylogenetic studies have confirmed the validity of this family and suggest that it may be divided into two clades: one consisting of viruses from cyprinid and anguillid hosts and the other of viruses from ictalurid, salmonid, acipenserid, and ranid hosts. There are currently 13 species in this family, divided among four genera. A disease associated with this family includes channel catfish disease.

It is the only species in the monotypic genus Tilapinevirus, which in turn is the only genus in the family Amnoonviridae. Thus far it has been recorded in various regions across Asia, Africa, and South America. The virus was first discovered and identified in 2014 when the Sea of Galilee in Israel experienced a major noticeable decline in tilapia catch quantities.

Batravirus ranidallo1, also known as Ranid herpesvirus 1 (RaHV-1), is a double-stranded DNA virus within the order Herpesvirales. The virus was initially observed within renal tumors in 1934 by Baldwin Lucké, and more recently has become identifiable through the use of PCR in samples isolated from frog tumors. RaHV-1 causes renal tumors within the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens. The virus has not yet been isolated in vitro within cell lines, meaning that while its existence and symptoms are fairly evident, its methods of transmission, cell infection, and reproduction are largely unknown.
