The aim of study is to develop a rapid test kit for detecting iridovirus infection in fish. Method was summarized as follows： （1） vaccine of iridovirus was injected to rabbit four times with a dosage as 0.5 mL, 1 mL, 2mL, 3 mL each week. Serum was collected at the fifth week as a coagglutination test kit; （2） through the positif polymerase chain reaction （PCR） test, the kidney and spleen sample infected with iridovirus are homogenized by using the phosphate buffered saline （PBS） solution of pH 7.2 with ratio 1：2 （WN）; （3） the supernatant material is collected after centrifugation at 8,000 rpm for 15 min; （4） filtrate/supernatant from sample was dropped on a slide an added with coagglutination test kit with the same volume （l：l）; （5） the agglutination observation is done after the 30, 60 and 90 min incubate at room temperature. The coagglutination test gave positive result in 25% of the test samples.展开更多

Sequencing of LYCIV ATPase gene fragment showed it shared 100% nucleotide sequence homology with the corresponding region of the ATPase gene of red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV) and sea bass iridovirus (SBIV), suggesting that LYCIV was homologous with RSIV and SBIV at least in part of the gemone. The specificity and sensitivity of the PCR procedure were tested on the iridovirus-infected fishes, the expected fragment was detected from spleen DNA samples of infected fishes, whereas no fragments were amplified from healthy fish spleen DNA, white spot syndrome baculoviruses (WSBV) DNA and pseudorabies virus (PRV) DNA. Detection limit of this method was 10(-7) ng positive plasmid DNA containing target sequence, equal to about 100 virions. In the infected experiment, first positive detection (1/4) appeared at Day 3 post-infection, all fish (4/4) tested positive at Day 7, however obvious symptoms were observed at Day 8, so LYCIV infection could be detected prior to the appearance of obvious symptoms. These results indicate that this PCR method could be used for early, rapid and specific detection of LYCIV infection.展开更多

This research applies the co-agglutination method that is fast, cheap and accurate in confirming the diagnosis of the cause of an outbreak of illness caused by iridovirus in the field, so that remedial action can be taken quickly and appropriately to minimize the impact of wider losses. Samples were taken from the grouper and pomfret star farms that are experiencing outbreaks of infectious diseases in the months from May to August 2015, Tanjungpinang, Indonesia. The sick and allegedly attacked by iridovirus samples showed abnormal swimming clinical symptoms, weakness and the swollen spleen. The swollen spleen of sick fish created suspension in phosphate buffered saline （PBS） with pH 7.2, and then centrifuged at 8,000 rpm for I0 rain. The supernatant after centrifuge was used as the test sample. On a clean object glass, 50 μL of the supematant was treated with 50 μL kit co-agglutination pre-prepared. The positive results were shown by the agglutination reaction after 10-15 rain, while as a negative control, PBS was reacted with co-agglutination kit that looked homogeneous （no agglutination）. It was showed that the grouper （Epinepkelus sp.） on four farms and pomfret star （Thracinotus blochii） on one farm that experienced an outbreak of infectious disease in Tanjungpinang showed positively infected iridovirus. The same positive iridovirus result was also demonstrated by examination using polymerase chain reaction （PCR） at 570 bp. So, the causative agent of plague on grouper and pomfret star was iridovirus. In addition, the co-agglutination test based on serology is more quick, cheap and accurate.展开更多
