Whole‐genome next‐generation sequencing was used to investigate the local evolution of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus, a serious pathogen affecting economically important fish such as rainbow trout and turbot in Europe and olive flounder in Asia. Sequence analysis showed that all isolates were genotype IVa, but could be classified further into four subgroups (K1–K4). In addition, genomic regions encompassing the nucleoprotein, phosphoprotein, matrix protein and non‐virion protein genes, as well as the seven non‐coding regions, were relatively conserved, whereas glycoprotein and RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase genes were variable in the coding region. Taken together, the data demonstrate that whole‐genome next‐generation sequencing may be useful for future surveillance, prevention and control strategies against viral haemorrhagic septicaemia.

- Abstract
Olive flounder (
Paralichthys olivaceus ) is one of the most economically important aquaculture fish. However, its production is often affected by various diseases, especially viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) that cause serious economic losses. In this study, we sequenced the whole transcriptome of theP. olivaceus using Illumina RNA-sEq. De novo assembly of control and virus-infected cDNA libraries of head kidney at 13 and 20 °C was accomplished with 2,007,532,438 raw reads, resulting in 244,578 unigenes with an average length of 533 bp and found 65,535 candidate coding unigenes with homology to other species by BLAST analysis. DEG analysis among control and virus-infected head kidney samples of 13 and 20 °C revealed that 1290 up-regulated and 162 down-regulated genes (p ≤ 0.01), linked to metabolism, virulence factors, adhesion and immune-response. We constructed an expressed gene catalog for theP. olivaceus to serve as a resource for marine environmental genomic and immuno-genetic/genomic studies focused on uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying the responses ofP. olivaceus to VHSV under different temperature.

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia is a serious disease that can assume epidemic proportions in cultivated olive flounders in Korea. The causal agent of this disease is viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), and it leads to vast economic losses in the olive flounder aquaculture industry. Therefore, the rapid and accurate detection of VHSV is paramount. At present, the manual of the World Organization for Animal Health's Office International des Epizooties (OIE) for pathogen detection is being followed for VHSV detection in Korea. However, in that manual, the primers for VHSV detection are based on the European VHSV genotype Ia. In this study, we identified 5 VHSV strains from olive flounders in Korea, and the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of VHSV genes (N, P, M, and G) were compared to investigate the genetic variation of VHSV genotypes. As expected, VHSV isolates from Korea were highly related to genotype IVa, clearly differing from the 3 European genotypes. In addition, the N gene showed low genetic variation and therefore might be considered a useful marker for VHSV detection, regardless of genotype. In contrast, the other VHSV genes (P, M, and G) had different nucleotides within genotypes. They might be suitable for designing specific primers for distinguishing between various VHSV genotypes. Duplex RT-PCR using the newly designed primers successfully detected all VHSV isolates and validated the genotype (I and IV) without sequence analysis. According to the results, all the VHSV isolates were successfully detected, and their genotypes were validated by duplex RT-PCR using the newly designed primers. Collectively, our findings suggest that duplex PCR is a convenient and appropriate method for the diagnosis of VHSV isolates in Korean aquaculture systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is a viral pathogen to cause severe losses in farming industry of olive flounder. Among six-encoding VHSV proteins, NV protein has been shown to have an impact on virulence. Thirteen VHSV strains are isolated from olive flounders showing VHS symptoms and mortality in Korea, and then molecular variation of nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the NV genes were compared. Although common mutations were detected at four sites in nucleotide sequences of NV gene, there was no difference in the amino acid sequences among 13 VHSV variants. We identified substitution of one base of 34 positions within the NV ORF of 13 VHSV isolates and these point mutations resulted in changes in amino acid sequences at 6 residues of NV (8, 56, 81, 88, 117, and 119). Based on finding of NV-mediated decrease of intracellular ATP level, protein expression of six NV variants in flounder cells decreased more than control NV protein. The strongest decreasing activity on cellular ATP level was shown by No. 56 (serine → leucine) of NV variation. The variation changes the hydropathy index significantly. The results imply that we can use appearance of some amino acid variations as virulence markers in VHSV-derived mortality. Statement of relevance 1. Recently VHSV has infected > 80 kinds of fish species. The number of infection host of VHSV is rapidly increased. Among the VHSV-infected fishes, olive flounder is one of the most important fish of aquaculture in Korea, Japan, and China. In every year, we found the massive VHSV-derived mortality of olive flounder aquaculture in Korea. To overcome this VHSV pathogenesis, we need to identify high-pathogenic VHSV appearance at aquaculture in earlier time. 2. Since VHSV gene is highly mutated in time-dependent manner, the efficient vaccine for VHSV-derived disease prevention is not well achieved. Therefore, the other approaches for prevention of epidemics by VHSV should be required. Our research goal is to develop prevention of epidemics propagation of VHSV infection by high pathogenic VHSV prediction with gene variation analysis. 3. In this study, we identified several gene variations of VHSV NV protein from 13 VHSV specimens of severe VHS-showing olive flounders in Korea. The gene variations are associated with amino acid changes of VHSV NV proteins. The amino acid variants of NV protein show the inhibitory activity of fish cellular energy (ATP) generation. The cellular energy deprivation might give a big impact on fish health and mortality. The DNA mutation on specific amino acid changes is possibly applied to develop the PCR diagnosis system for early detection of high pathogenic VHSV appearance. The early pathogenic gene diagnosis of VHSV gives more efficient prevention of epidemics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Olive flounder ( Paralichthys olivaceus ) is one of the most valuable marine aquatic species in South Korea and faces tremendous exposure to the viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV). Given the growing importance of flounder, it is therefore essential to understand the host defense of P. olivaceus against VHSV infection, but studies on its immune mechanism are hindered by the lack of genomic resources. In this study, the P. olivaceus was infected with disease-causing VHSV isolates, ADC-VHS2012-11 and ADC-VHS2014-5 which showed moderate virulent (20% mortality) and high virulent (65% mortality), in order to investigate the effect of difference in pathogenicity in head kidney during 1, 3, 7 days of post-infection using Illumina sequencing. After removing low-quality sequences, we obtained 144,933,160 high quality reads from thirty-six libraries which were further assembled into 53,384 unigenes with an average length of 563 bp with a range of 200 to 9605 bp. Transcriptome annotation revealed that 30,475 unigenes with a cut-off e-value of 10 −5 were functionally annotated. In total, 10,046 unigenes were clustered into 26 functional categories by searching against the eggNOG database, and 22,233 unigenes to 52 GO terms. In addition, 12,985 unigenes were grouped into 387 KEGG pathways. Among the 13,270 differently expressed genes, 6578 and 6692 were differentially expressed only in moderate and high virulent, respectively. Based on our sequence analysis, many candidate genes with fundamental roles in innate immune system including, pattern recognition receptors (TLRs & RLRs), Mx, complement proteins, lectins, and cytokines (chemokines, IFN, IRF, IL, TRF) were differentially expressed. Furthermore, GO enrichment analysis for these genes revealed gene response to defense response to virus, apoptotic process and transcription factor activity. In summary, this study identifies several putative immune pathways and candidate genes deserving further investigation in the context of novel gene discovery, gene expression and regulation studies and lays the foundation for fish immunology especially in P. olivaceus against VHSV.

Interferon-inducible protein 56 ( IFI56, also known as ISG56/ IFIT1 , interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1) is strongly induced in response to interferon and a potent inhibitor of viral replication and translational initiation. Here, we describe the identification of IFI56 ( OfIFI56 ) in olive flounder, its characteristic features, and expression levels in various tissues before and after viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infection. The full-length OfIFI56 sequence was identified from rapid amplification of cDNA ends PCR. The complete coding sequence of OfIFI56 is 1971 bp in length and encodes 431 amino acids. The putative OfIFI56 protein has multiple tetratricopeptide (TPR) motifs, which regulate diverse biological processes, such as organelle targeting, protein import, and vesicle fusion. Based on sequence analysis, the Larimichthys crocea IFI56 protein (61%) had the highest sequence homology to OfIFI56. In healthy olive flounder, OfIFI56 mRNA expression was detected in many tissues such as intestine, gill, head kidney, heart, spleen, and trunk kidney tissues. After VHSV challenge, OfIFI56 mRNA was significantly up-regulated in these tissues. Additionally, OfIFI56 expression was induced by poly I:C but not by Streptococcus parauberis and S. iniae infection or lipopolysaccharide injection in kidney and spleen tissues of olive flounder. These results demonstrate that piscine OfIFI56 expression is not induced by bacterial infection but is selectively induced by viral infection, especially VHSV, and that OfIFI56 may play an important role in the host response against VHSV infection.
