Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis

Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV) infects juvenile salmonid fish in conservation hatcheries and aquaculture facilities, and in some cases, causes lethal disease. This study assesses intra-specific variation in the IHNV susceptibility of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Columbia River Basin (CRB), in the northwestern United States. The virulence and infectivity of IHNV strains from three divergent virus genogroups are measured in four Chinook salmon populations, including spring-run and fall-run fish from the lower or upper regions of the CRB. Following controlled laboratory exposures, our results show that the positive control L strain had significantly higher virulence, and the UC and MD strains that predominate in the CRB had equivalently low virulence, consistent with field observations. By several experimental measures, there was little variation in host susceptibility to infection or disease. However, a small number of exceptions suggested that the lower CRB spring-run Chinook salmon population may be less susceptible than other populations tested. The UC and MD viruses did not differ in infectivity, indicating that the observed asymmetric field prevalence in which IHNV detected in CRB Chinook salmon is 83% UC and 17% MD is not due to the UC virus being more infectious. Overall, we report little intra-species variation in CRB Chinook salmon susceptibility to UC or MD IHNV infection or disease, and suggest that other factors may instead influence the ecology of IHNV in the CRB.

Pancreatic Necrosis Virus

The rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, gonad (RTG-2) cell line was more sensitive to lytic infection by infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) than was the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas, (FHM) cell line in laboratory and field studies. Laboratory investigations with known strains of IPNV (VR 299 and Buhl) also indicated that the cytopathic response in IPNV-infected chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, embryo (CHSE-214) cells was greater than in infected FHM cells. In contrast, titration experiments with standard infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) isolates (Oregon and Cedar River) showed that the FHM cells were more sensitive to destructive infection by IHNV than was either of the salmonid cell lines (RTG-2, CHSE-214). Key words: fish cell culture, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, chinook salmon embryo cells, fathead minnow cells, rainbow trout cells, salmonid viruses
