This experiment was done to set up the immunohistochemical detection method for infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus(IHNV) antigens in the monolayers of CHSE-214 cell cultures inoculated with IHNV. Specific identification of IHNV antigens was detected in the cytoplasms of infected cells by the use of monoclonal antibodies to glycoproteins. The specific positive signal was observed as a distinct red color. The result showed that streptavidin alkaline phosphatase immunohistochemistry specifically identified IHNV antigens in infected cultured cells.

To investigate the antiviral activity of marine algae against fish pathogenic viruses, which are often the causes of viral disease in aquaculture, the 80% methanolic extracts of 21 species collected from the coast of Korea were screened for their in vitro antiviral activities on infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), using a flounder spleen (FSP) cell-line. Among them, Monostroma nitidum (10 ${\mu}g/mL$) exhibited the strongest inactivation on IHNV, showing a 2 log reduced virus titre as compared to the control in the determination of direct virucidal activity. In addition, Polysiphonia morrowii (100 ${\mu}g/mL$) remarkably reduced the virus titres of treated cells by 2-2.5 log, for both IHNV and IPNV, in the determination of cellular protective activity, implying the existence of substances that may modulate innate host defense mechanisms against viral infections. These results reveal that some marine algae could be promising candidates as sources of antiviral agents or as health-promoting feeds for aquaculture.

Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is s significant viral pathogen affecting cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Korea. In this study, five monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) (IHNV-1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) were produced using purified IHNV. Reactivities of these mAbs were analyzed by western blot (WB), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). These mAbs recognized glycoprotein (69 kDa, IHNV-1), nucleocapsid protein (39 kDa, IHNV-3, 4, and 5), or phosphoprotein (27 kDa, IHNV-2) of IHNV by WB analysis. ELISA results indicated that these five mAbs were specific to IHNV without showing any cross-reactivity against other fish viruses (hirame rhabdovirus, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus). IFAT demonstrated specific fluorescence signals of IHNV-infected epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells, whereas no reactivity of normal EPC cells was observed. These mAbs can be very useful for immuno-diagnosis of IHNV infection.

In this study, whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) imported from Vietnam were collected from South Korean markets, and examined for 2 viruses: infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV, recently classified as decapod penstyldensovirus-1), and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Among 58 samples, we detected IHHNV in 23 samples and WSSV in 2 samples, using polymerase chain reaction and sequencing analyses. This is the first report of IHHNV and WSSV detection in imported shrimp, suggesting that greater awareness and stricter quarantine policies regarding viruses infecting shrimp imported to South Korea are required.

어류의 대량폐사의 원인은 여러 가지가 있을 수 있는데 가장 중요한 것 중의 하나가 바이러스 감염에 의한 것이다. 우리나라 송어양식의 경우, 바이러스성 질병에 의한 대량폐사가 발생하여 매년 수천만마리의 치어가 폐사되어 왔는데 이 질병의 원인을 조사한 결과, 전염성 췌장 괴사 바이러스(Infectious Pencreatic Necrosis Virus ; IPNV)와 전염성 조혈기 괴사 바이러스(Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus ; IHNV)가 분리되어 이들의 대량폐사의 병원체임읠 밝혀내었다. 따라서 본 총설에서는 연어과 어류중 양식 대상종인 무지개송어 양식시 전염성과 병원성이 강해 치어기에 들어 대량폐사를 유발시키는 IHNV에 대해 최근 연구 결과를 중심으로 바이러스 분리 및 동정, 신속진단, 바이러스 백신 기초 기술 개발순으로 기술하고자 한다.

A global increase in fish consumption has led to a rapid expansion of aquaculture production, which has been linked to enhancing the spread of infectious diseases. Viral diseases can cause high mortality in many cultured fish species, posing a serious threat to the aquaculture industry. Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is one of the primary threats to aquacultured salmonid species, causing huge economic losses. Since the first report in cultured sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka during the 1950s in North America, IHNV has spread to other regions, including Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa by transportation of infected fish and eggs, causing disease and increasing mortality in a wide variety of salmonid species. Here, we review existing information relevant to IHNV: its phylogenetic characteristics, origin, infection history, virulence determinants, susceptible hosts, vectors, and vaccine development. This review also addresses a possible cross-species transmission of IHNV to a new host, olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, a cultured fish of economic importance in East Asian countries.

Recently, mariculture of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has been initiated in the coast areas of Korea. In the present study, we investigated the effect of fish viruses on mariculture of rainbow trout. The pathogenicity of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) isolated from freshwater rainbow trout was tested against major cultured marine fish species, including olive flounder (Paralichtys olivaceus), rock fish (Sebastes schlegeli), rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus), red seabream (Pagrus major) and sevenband grouper (Epinephelus septemfasciatus). The pathogenicity of marine birnavirus (MABV), hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV) and nervous necrosis virus (NNV) isolated from marine fish species was also tested against rainbow trout. No mortality was observed in marine fish species challenged with IHNV or IPNV. However, olive flounder and rock bream were infected by IHNV and IPNV. A mortality of 8.3% was observed in rainbow trout challenged with HIRRV. The fish was infected by both MABV and NNV. These results suggest that the mariculture of rainbow trout might be affected by fish viruses.

Infection of fish cells with IHNV resulted in gradual increase in cytosolic free $Ca^{2+}$ concentration $([Ca^{2+}]_i)$ in CHSE, gradual decrease in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ in FHM, and no significant change in RTG cells. The degree of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase or decrease was dependent on the amount of infectious virus, and these $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ variations were maximal at 16 hours after virus infection (p. i.) in both cell lines. When the fish cells were infected with inactivated IHNV, evident variation in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ was not observed. Thus, infectivity of IHNV appears to correlate with changes in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ in virus-infected cells. These IHNV-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ changes were partially blocked by cycloheximide, but not affected by cordycepin. It seems to be that virus-induced $Ca^{2+}$ variations were more related with protein synthesis than RNA synthesis. Various $Ca^{2+}$ related drugs were used in search for the mechanisms of the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$, changes following IHNV infection of CHSE cells. Decreasing extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration or blocking $Ca^{2+}$ influx from extracellular media inhibited the IHNV-induced increase in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$, in CHSE cells. Similar results were obtained with intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ blockers. Thus it is suggested that both the extracellular and the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ sources are important in IHNV-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase in CHSE cells.

We have cloned and analyzed cDNA coding for nucleocapsid protein N from infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus(IHNV), IHNV-PRT, which was isolated in Korea. The N gene had open reading frame of 1,176 bp that encoded a 391 amino acids with a molecular weight of 42.3 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence of N protein was 75-90% identical to those of foreign isolates, IHNV, but was 43% and 38% identical to those of other species of fish rhabdovirus, hirame rhabdovirus(HRV) and viral hemorrahagic septicemia virus(VHSV), respectively. However, it revealed high levels of sequence identity between 214-265 amino acid sequences among all species of fish rhabdovirus.
