Yellow head virus (YHV) is a rod-shaped positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus, classified into the genus Okavirus, family Roniviridae, and order Nidovirales. In this study, 200 fleshy prawns (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) collected from the vicinity of Narodo in Goheung-gun, Korea, were screened for the presence of yellow head complex viruses and related genotype such as YHV genotype 8. The detection rate of YHV genotype 8 among the 200 fleshy prawns, determined using nested RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reation), was 39.0%. Phylogenetic analysis of the ORF1b gene of YHV showed that eight distinct genetic lineages were detected. The four strains of YHV genotype 8 obtained in this study formed a robust clade with the YHV genotype 8 group that was first isolated from fleshy prawns in China suspected to have acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND).

This study was performed for screening yellow head virus(YHV) complex in 252 including 235 white leg shrimps (Litopenaeus vannamei) and 17 oriental shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) collected from 18 farms located in southwestern province of Korea. The virus complex was detected by nested reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. In the assay, amplicons were resulted in RNAs exracted from 38 shrimps (21 white leg shrimps and 17 oriental shrimps) obtained from 7 farms. In phylogenetic analysis using sequences of ORF1b gene, all 38 sequences obtained in this study formed an independent lineage with YHV-8 genotype firstly isolated in China, belonged to an YHV-8 clade.

A survey was conducted to investigate viral infections in 184 whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) collected from nine farms and one wholesale fish vendor during 2018 and 2019. Gill and abdominal muscle of shrimp were tested for the presence of five viruses, viz. infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus, taura syndrome virus, infectious myonecrosis virus, yellow head virus genotype 1, and covert mortality nodavirus by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and PCR. These viruses were not detected in any of 184 samples, screened under the study.

2019년부터 2020년도까지 국내로 수입 및 유통되고 있는 냉동 새우에 대하여 갑각류 전염병인 전염성피하및조혈기괴사증(infectious hypodermal andhematopoietic necrosis, IHHN), 노란머리병(yellow head disease, YHD), 타우라증후군(taura syndrome, TS), 전염성근괴사증(infectious myonecrosis, IMN)의 병원체 유전자 검출 여부를 조사하였다. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) 분석을 수행한 결과 5개 국가에서 수입된 총 10개 그룹의 시료에서 YHV (1/10), IHHNV (2/10)가 검출되었으며 TSV와 IMNV는 검출되지 않았다. 또한, 검출된 IHHNV의 경우 type A IHHNV related gene을 증폭시킬 수 있는 MG831F/R primer를 이용한 PCR 결과에서도 양성으로 확인되었다. 유전자가 검출된 시료에 대해 염기서열 및 계통학적 분석 결과 YHV는 genotype 3 (YHV3)로 분류되었으며 IHHNV는 infectious IHHNV type 2 로 분류되었다. PCR 양성 조직 시료를 마쇄 후 흰다리새우에 인위 감염 실험을 수행한 결과, 폐사는 나타나지 않았으나 접종한 바이러스 유전자는 검출되었다. 이러한 결과는 YHV3와 IHHNV가 냉동 새우의 수입 과정에서 국내로 유입되고 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구에서 검출된 YHV3와 IHHNV는 병원성이 없는 유전형 또는 수입 및 유통 과정에서 불활화에 따라 흰다리새우에 폐사를 유발하기에는 감염성이 낮은 수준의 형태로 존재하고 있을 것으로 사료된다.
