Abstract

VHSV is a major viral agent that affects freshwater and marine fish, causing serious economic losses in aquaculture in the world. Due to their filter-feeding activity, bivalve mollusks may act as viral transmitters after accumulation of the fish viruses released into seawater from infected fish. Amplification by RT-PCR was carried out to investigate the presence of VHSV in pacific oysters (Crassotrea gigas) and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis), inhabiting regions around aquatic farms in Korea. Primers designed from conserved regions of VHSVs allowed us to detect four different types of VHSV in a single PCR. Twenty two of the eighty four samples showed positive results of VHSV in a 2-step RT-PCR. Using six positive samples from three different regions in Korea, we cloned and sequenced the glycoprotein (G) gene (467-bp long) of VHSVs. Genetic analysis of the VHSVs detected in shellfish in various geographical areas of Korea showed highly restricted results to VHSV type Iva. This was in agreement with the reports showing only a single genotype of VHSV (Iva genotype) in outbreaks in cultured or wild fish in Korea. Consequently, we investigated VHSVs carried by bivalve mollusks inhabiting the vicinity of aquatic farms, and revealed correlationship between the type of viral accumulated in shellfish by filter-feeding, and those detected in disease outbreaks in fish.

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV)는 세계적으로 담수와 해산어에 심각한 경제적 손실을 야기시키는 주요바이러스이다. 이매패류는 감염어로부터 해수로 방출된 바이러스를 여과섭식작용을 통해 축적하는 것으로 알려져 있어 carrier로써의 가능성이 보고된 바 있으므로. 본 연구에서는 이를 확인하기 위해 국내 어류 양식장 주변에 서식하는 참굴(Crassotrea gigas)과 담치(Mytilus edulis)를 샘플링하였고, RT-PCR법을 통해 바이러스를 검출하여 패류 내 VHSV존재를 확인하였다. 기존 병성감정기관에서 사용하는 primer로는 IVa genotype만을 검출할 수가 있었기 때문에 Glycoprotein(G) gene의 conserved region에 대한 primer를 제작하여 VHSV의 4가지 타입 모두 검출할 수 있게 하였고 이를 본 연구에 사용하였다. 총 84개 중 22개의 시료가 nested PCR을 통해 양성으로 확인되었고, 이 중 6개의 양성시료를 시퀀싱하여 유전학적 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 국내 여러 지역의 패류에서 검출된 VHSV는 모두 IVa genotype으로 아주 제한적인 결과를 보여주었으며, 이는 국내 어류에게 질병을 일으키는 VHSV의 타입은 IVa genotype이라는 이전의 보고와 상응하는 결과를 나타냈다고 할 수 있다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서는 양식장 주변에 서식하는 이매패류의 여과섭식작용으로 인한 축적되는 바이러스로 인한 전염가능성과 패류 내 존재하는 바이러스와 어류에서 질병을 발생시키는 바이러스와의 상호관계를 조사하였으며, 향후 다른 genotype의 유입 및 검출을 위한 연구는 계속적으로 필요하다고 생각된다.
