Ictalurid herpesvirus 1 (IcHV-1) is a species of virus in the genus Ictalurivirus , family Alloherpesviridae , and order Herpesvirales . [1] It causes disease in channel catfish and blue catfish, [2] and can cause significant economic loss in catfish farms. The disease is endemic in the USA and there are reports of the virus in Honduras and Russia.

Contents

Also known as channel catfish virus (CCV), it is known to cause channel catfish virus disease (CCVD), resulting in high mortality rates and reduction of growth in catfish. [3] Occurrences of CCVD are often met with crowding and environmental stress. [3] Factors in favor of the proliferation of CCVD include temperature, crowding, and age. Instances when this virus is reported are usually during warm summer months and in highly crowded catfish ponds–places where the virus can easily be transmitted amongst catfish–and in catfish that are less than a year old. [4]

Background

Although it was first isolated in 1968, the characterization of this virus was intensively studied in 1971. [5] [6] Classification of this virus as a herpesvirus began as evidence of characteristics similar to other species of the order were observed using electron microscopy, such as the presence of a viral envelope, assembly of the virus in the nucleus, and a small size (100 nm). [6]

Genome

Sequencing of the IcHV1 has shown it to be similar to all other herpesviruses. [7] Its double-stranded DNA structure of 134 kb encodes 79 genes responsible for the infection and spread of the virus. From previous research using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS), 37 structural proteins are responsible for forming the shape of IcHV1 where one of the structural proteins, ORF59, is responsible for viral transmission. [7] This is because ORF59 codes for a hydrophobic envelope to encapsulate the virus in order for it to span across the lipid membrane into the host cell’s cytoplasm.

Pathology

Clinical signs

Transmission is both horizontal and vertical. Reservoirs of disease are clinically affected fish and recovered covert carriers. [8] Disease occurs in fish less than a year old that weigh less than 10 grams. The critical environmental factor is water temperature with the disease occurring during warm weather. Outbreaks are normally seen only in farmed fish. Affected fish have pot-bellied appearance, haemorrhages on the fins and musculature and exophthalmos. Affected fish seem off balance and tend to swim erratically or close to the surface, and eventually sinking to the bottom. Fish that survive the infection have lifelong protective immunity but remain latent carriers of the virus. This is a significant source of disease for vulnerable fish. Increased mortality in young catfish during warm weather, especially after stress, is suggestive of Ictalurid herpesvirus 1.

Diagnosis

The virus can be detected in water containing infected fish and organs of diseased fish by virus neutralisation, fluorescent antibody testing, ELISA, or PCR. FAT and ELISA should be used for diagnosis of clinically infected fish while virus neutralisation or PCR should be used to detect carrier fish. Lesions are seen on the liver, kidney and many other internal organs both histologically and grossly on postmortem examination. [8]

Treatment and control

There is no available treatment. Stress and high stocking-densities should be avoided to reduce disease occurrence. Appropriate quarantine and hygiene measures should be employed to prevent spread of disease. The virus is sensitive to acidic pH, heat, and UV light, and is inactivated by pond mud and sea water. [8]

Immunity

A catfish’s innate and adaptive immunity for IcHV1 allows it to build resistance to it. This has been found through experimental introduction of IcHV1 to recovering catfish that have been exposed to the virus after a season showing an immunity to the virus. [9] However, the mechanism for this immunity is still uncertain.

There seem to be some observations for this immunity including species-specific natural killer cells where they are shown to kill IcHV1 infected cells and through antibiotic responses where serum from CCVD survivors is injected to young catfish. [10] [11]

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the ninth known human herpesvirus; its formal name according to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) is Human gammaherpesvirus 8, or HHV-8 in short. Like other herpesviruses, its informal names are used interchangeably with its formal ICTV name. This virus causes Kaposi's sarcoma, a cancer commonly occurring in AIDS patients, as well as primary effusion lymphoma, HHV-8-associated multicentric Castleman's disease and KSHV inflammatory cytokine syndrome. It is one of seven currently known human cancer viruses, or oncoviruses. Even after many years since the discovery of KSHV/HHV8, there is no known cure for KSHV associated tumorigenesis.

<i>Herpesviridae</i> Family of DNA viruses

Herpesviridae is a large family of DNA viruses that cause infections and certain diseases in animals, including humans. The members of this family are also known as herpesviruses. The family name is derived from the Greek word ἕρπειν, referring to spreading cutaneous lesions, usually involving blisters, seen in flares of herpes simplex 1, herpes simplex 2 and herpes zoster (shingles). In 1971, the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) established Herpesvirus as a genus with 23 viruses among four groups. As of 2020, 115 species are recognized, all but one of which are in one of the three subfamilies. Herpesviruses can cause both latent and lytic infections.

Feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR) is an upper respiratory or pulmonary infection of cats caused by Felid alphaherpesvirus 1 (FeHV-1), of the family Herpesviridae. It is also commonly referred to as feline influenza, feline coryza, and feline pneumonia but, as these terms describe other very distinct collections of respiratory symptoms, they are misnomers for the condition. Viral respiratory diseases in cats can be serious, especially in catteries and kennels. Causing one-half of the respiratory diseases in cats, FVR is the most important of these diseases and is found worldwide. The other important cause of feline respiratory disease is feline calicivirus.
