Abstract
Since 1989, mass mortality has repeatly occurred in cage-cultured sevenband grouper, Epinephelus septemfasciatus along the southern coast of Korea in the summer season and usually reached over 80% within a few months. Diseased fish showed the clinical signs of anorexia, dark coloration, loss of eqilibrium, spinal swimming behaviour, vertebral deformity and inflation of swim bladder. Histopathologically, necrosis and/or vacuolation of the nerve cells in the brain and retina were observed. We previously reported that the causative agent was filtrable. The causative agent was not culturable in various fish cells; RTG-2, CHSE-214, BF-2, EPC and FHM. However, electron microscopic observation revealed unenveloped icosahedral viral particles with about 30 nm in diameter in the cytoplasm of nerve cells of the brain. The characteristics of the virus was tested by an artificial infection with the filtrate of the homogenate of diseased fish. The pathogenicity of the virus was retained after treatment with ether or heat (
1989년부터 남해안 일원 해상 가두리 양식장에서 사육중이던 능성어가 고수온기에 대량폐사하여 폐사율이 80%이었다. 발병한 병어는 채색흑화, 안구돌출, 평행감각 상실,회전운동과 몸통이 휘어지는 증상을 나타냈고, 조직학적으로는 뇌조직 및 안구망막의 신경세포가 공포 또는 괴사되었다. 병어로 부터 어류주화세포를 이용한 세포배양법으로 원인 바이러스는 분리되지 않았지만, 뇌 신경세포의 세포질에서 크기가 약 30 nm이며 외막(envelop)이 없는 다면체 모양의 바이러스 입자가 전가현미경적으로 관찰 되었다. 능성어로 부터 분리된 바이러스는 에테르나 열(
