Using cultures of the SKF-9 cell line, megalocytivirus AFIV-16 was isolated from imported angelfish Pterophyllum scalare held in quarantine at the Australian border. The cytopathic effect caused by isolate AFIV-16 presented as cell rounding and enlargement, but complete destruction of the infected cell cultures did not occur. The infected cells demonstrated immunocytochemical reactivity with monoclonal antibody M10, which is used for diagnosis of OIE-listed red sea bream iridoviral disease. Using electron microscopy, the virus particles, consisting of hexagonal nucleocapsids, were observed in the cytoplasm of SKF-9 cells. The replication of AFIV-16 in cultured SKF-9 cells was significantly greater at 28°C incubation than at 22 and 25°C incubation, whereas no difference in growth characteristics was observed for red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV) isolate KagYT-96 across this temperature range. Whole genome sequencing demonstrated that AFIV-16 has a 99.96% similarity to infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), the type species in the genus Megalocytivirus. AFIV-16 was classified into ISKNV genotype Clade 1 by phylogenetic analysis of the major capsid protein gene nucleotide sequence. This is the first report of whole genome sequencing of an ISKNV genotype megalocytivirus isolated from ornamental fish.

In Korea, red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV), especially subtype II, has been the main causative agent of red sea bream iridoviral disease since the 1990s. Herein, we report two Korean RSIV isolates with different subtypes based on the major capsid protein and adenosine triphosphatase genes: 17SbTy (RSIV mixed subtype I/II) from Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) and 17RbGs (RSIV subtype II) from rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus). The complete genome sequences of 17SbTy and 17RbGs were 112,360 and 112,235 bp long, respectively (115 and 114 open reading frames [ORFs], respectively). Based on nucleotide sequence homology with sequences of representative RSIVs, 69 of 115 ORFs of 17SbTy were most closely related to subtype II (98.48–100% identity), and 46 were closely related to subtype I (98.77–100% identity). In comparison with RSIVs, 17SbTy and 17RbGs carried two insertion/deletion mutations (ORFs 014R and 102R on the basis of 17SbTy) in regions encoding functional proteins (a DNA-binding protein and a myristoylated membrane protein). Notably, survival rates differed significantly between 17SbTy-infected and 17RbGs-infected rock breams, indicating that the genomic characteristics and/or adaptations to their respective original hosts might influence pathogenicity. Thus, this study provides complete genome sequences and insights into the pathogenicity of two newly identified RSIV isolates classified as a mixed subtype I/II and subtype II.
