Abstract
Family Parvoviridae consists of small, non-enveloped viruses with linear, single-stranded DNA genomes of approximately 4-6 kilobases, subdivided into three subfamilies, Parvovirinae, Densovirinae, and Hamaparvovirinae, and unassigned genus Metalloincertoparvovirus. Parvoviruses of aquatic animals infect crustaceans, mollusks, and finfish. This review describes these parvoviruses, which are highly host-specific and associated with mass morbidity and mortality in both farmed and wild aquatic animals. They include Cherax quadricarinatus densovirus (CqDV) in freshwater crayfish in Queensland, Australia; sea star-associated densovirus (SSaDV) in sunflower sea star on the Northeastern Pacific Coast; Clinch densovirus 1 in freshwater mussels in the Clinch River, Virginia, and Tennessee, USA, in subfamily Densovirinae; hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) and infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) in farmed shrimp worldwide; Syngnathid ichthamaparvovirus 1 in gulf pipefish in the Gulf of Mexico and parts of South America; tilapia parvovirus (TiPV) in farmed tilapia in China, Thailand, and India, in the subfamily Hamaparvovirinae; and Penaeus monodon metallodensovirus (PmMDV) in Vietnamese P. monodon, in unassigned genus Metalloincertoparvovirus. Also included in the family Parvoviridae are novel parvoviruses detected in both diseased and healthy animals using metagenomic sequencing, such as zander parvovirus from zander in Hungary and salmon parvovirus from sockeye salmon smolts in British Columbia, Canada.

Abstract
Hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) are emerging and reemerging pathogens in shrimps. In the present study, a novel genotype of HPV concurrently infected with EHP in Penaeus vannamei in Taiwan leading to severe atrophy and damage of hepatopancreas were confirmed by histopathology, in situ hybridization, and PCR. The novel genotype of HPV exhibited 66%-69.5% sequence identities with all known HPVs and carried unique amino acid deletions and insertions in the VP gene. According to phylogenetic analysis, the Taiwan HPV isolates were classified as the genotype IV. The present study not only provided the histopathological and molecular proof of HPV and EHP co-infection in Taiwan, but also revealed the importance of investigating the geographical expansion of novel HPV genotypes.

Abstract
Over the past four decades, shrimp aquaculture has turned into a major industry providing jobs for millions of people worldwide especially in countries with large coastal boundaries. While the shrimp industry continues to expand, the sustainability of shrimp aquaculture has been threatened by the emergence of diseases. Diseases caused by single-stranded DNA containing viruses, such as infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) and hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV), have caused immense losses in shrimp aquaculture since the early 1980s. In fact, the disease outbreak in the blue shrimp (Penaeus stylirostris) caused by IHHNV in early 1980s ultimately led to the captive breeding program in shrimp being shifted from P. stylirostris to the white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei), and today P. vannamei is the preferred cultured shrimp species globally. To date, four single-stranded DNA viruses are known to affect shrimp; these include IHHNV, HPV, spawner-isolated mortality virus (SMV) and lymphoidal parvo-like virus (LPV). Due to the economic losses caused by IHHNV and HPV, most studies have focused on these two viruses, and only IHHNV is included in the OIE list of Crustacean Diseases. Hence this review will focus on IHHNV and HPV. IHHNV and HPV virions are icosahedral in morphology measuring 20-22 nm in size and contain a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) of 4-6 kb in size. Both IHHNV and HPV are classified into the sub-order Brevidensoviruses, family Densovirinae. The genome architecture of both viruses are quite similar as they contain two completely (as in IHHNV) or partially overlapping (as in HPV) non-structural and one structural gene. Histopathology and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods are available for both viruses. Currently, there is no anti-viral therapy for any viral diseases in shrimp. Therefore, biosecurity and the use of genetically resistant lines remains as the corner stone in the management of viral diseases. In recent years, gene silencing using the RNA interference (RNAi) approach has been reported for both IHHNV and HPV via injection. However, the delivery of RNAi molecules via oral route remains a challenge, and the utility of RNAi-based therapy has yet to be materialized in shrimp aquaculture.

Abstract
Shrimp infected with Penaeus monodon densovirus (PmoDNV) usually display no specific gross signs, but heavy infections can kill postlarvae and retard juvenile growth. In the present study, samples of hepatopancreas, feces, gonads and hemolymph were isolated from male and female P. monodon subadults chronically infected by PmoDNV. Each sample of hepatopancreas and gonad was divided into 2 parts: one for PmoDNV detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the other for routine histology and immunohistochemistry. The frequency of positive findings via PCR assays was 92% in the hepatopancreas, 57% in feces, 50% in ovary, 35% in hemolymph and 0% in the testis. Using the densitometric value (DV) of the specific band for PmoDNV relative to that of the β-actin gene as an index of the viral load in the samples, no significant differences were observed among sample types and sexes. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of infected hepatopancreas revealed typical PmoDNV inclusions in the nuclei of infected cells. The ovaries with high DV (>1) contained various types of inclusions along the row of the follicular cells or possibly in the connective tissue cells surrounding the oocytes. Using immunohistochemistry with specific probes to detect PmoDNV proteins, a positive reaction was observed in viral inclusions found in infected hepatopancreas and in ovaries with high DV, specifically in the ovarian capsule, hemolymph, oocytes and nuclear inclusions. These results suggest that the localization of PmoDNV in P. monodon is not confined to the hepatopancreas, but rather that the virus can also occur in the ovary; hence, trans-ovarian, vertical transmission of the virus is highly possible.

Abstract
Mosquito cell lines (C6/36) were reported in the literature to support the propagation of Penaeus monodon hepandensovirus (PmoHDV). We aim to evaluate the susceptibility and viral propagation of P. merguiensis hepandensovirus (PmeHDV) which is ∼22% different to PmoHDV in Aedes albopictus cell line (C6/36). Cellular changes in the infected cell culture were detected. Vacuole formation was seen in both infected and uninfected cell cultures. The average number of disrupted cellular membranes in the infected cells (presumptive dead cells) was significantly higher than that of uninfected cells at passage two (F=9.749, d.f. 1, 22, p<0.05). Using a proliferation assay, light absorption of infected cells peaked at 2weeks post-infection (O.D.=0.27) but was significantly lower than that of the uninfected groups (O.D.=0.37) (F=6.879, d.f. 1, 94, p<0.05) suggesting hindered cell growth. PCR of the serial passages of the infected cell cultures indicated weak positive results for PmeHDV infection and TaqMan quantitative PCR confirmed that the average number of viral copies declined from 3.8×105 to 5.69×102 copies per μL and the mean of cycle times increased from 19.26 to 27.63. These results are interpreted to mean C6/36 allows the initial stage of PmeHDV replication, but the virus was incapable of using C6/36 for patent replication of its' virions.

Abstract
Viral pathogens are of serious concern to the culture of penaeid shrimps worldwide. However, little is known about the molecular response of shrimp to viral infection. Selective breeding has been suggested as an effective long-term strategy to manage viral disease, though more information on gene function is needed to help inform breeding programs. The study of cultured banana shrimp (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis) infected with hepatopancreatic parvo-like virus (HPV) provides a unique opportunity to explore the host response to viral infection independent of challenge testing. To gain insight into the genetic mechanisms underlying resistance to high levels of HPV, we examined hepatopancreas tissue from six full-sib groups of banana shrimp with differing levels of HPV infection for differences in gene expression. A total of 404 differentially expressed genes were identified with 180 being over-expressed and 224 under-expressed among high-HPV full-sib groups. Based on homology analysis, a large proportion of these genes were associated with processes reported to be involved in the immune response of crustaceans, including pattern recognition proteins, antimicrobial peptides, components of the prophenoloxidase system, and antiviral activity. The results indicate shrimp from high-HPV full-sib groups appear to have a lower presence of important immune response elements, yet possess upregulated putative antiviral pathways. Within the differentially expressed genes, over 4000 sequence variants were identified to be exclusive to either the high- or low-HPV full-sib groups. To our knowledge, this is the first report of differential expression analysis using RNA-Seq to explore differences in viral load among high- and low-HPV full-sib groups of cultured shrimp. This research has provided additional insight into our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the response of this shrimp species to a naturally occurring viral pathogen. Sequence variants identified in this study offer an exceptional resource for mining gene-associated markers of HPV resistance.

Abstract
Hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) infects Penaeus monodon and causes mortality in the larval stages. Further, it has been implicated in the growth retardation in cultured P. monodon. Though different geographical isolates of HPV show large sequence variations, a sensitive PCR assay specific to Indian isolate has not yet been reported. Here, we developed a sensitive SYBR Green-based and TaqMan real-time PCR for the detection and quantification of the virus. A 441-bp PCR amplicon was cloned in pTZ57 R/T vector and the plasmid copy number was estimated. A 10-fold serial dilution of the plasmid DNA from 1 × 10(9) copies to 1 copy was prepared and used as the standard. The primers were tested initially using the standard on a conventional PCR format to determine the linearity of detection. The standards were further tested on real-time PCR format using SYBR Green and TaqMan chemistry and standard curves were generated based on the Ct values from three well replicates for each dilution. The assays were found to be sensitive, specific and reproducible with a wide dynamic range (1 × 10(9) to 10 copies) with coefficient of regression (R(2)) > 0.99, calculated average slope -3.196 for SYBR Green assay whereas, for TaqMan assay it was >0.99 and -3.367, respectively. The intra- and inter-assay variance of the Ct values ranged from 0.26% to 0.94% and 0.12% to 0.81%, respectively, for SYBR Green assay, and the inter-assay variance of the Ct values for TaqMan assay ranged from 0.07% to 1.93%. The specificity of the assays was proved by testing other DNA viruses of shrimp such as WSSV, IHHNV and MBV. Standardized assays were further tested to detect and quantify HPV in the post-larvae of P. monodon. The result was further compared with conventional PCR to test the reproducibility of the test. The assay was also used to screen Litopeneaus vannamei, Macrobrachium rosenbergii and Scylla serrata for HPV.

Abstract
As shrimp aquaculture has evolved from a subsistent farming activity to an economically important global industry, viral diseases have also become a serious threat to the sustainable growth and productivity of this industry. Parvoviruses represent an economically important group of viruses that has greatly affected shrimp aquaculture. In the early 1980s, an outbreak of a shrimp parvovirus, infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), led to the collapse of penaeid shrimp farming in the Americas. Since then, considerable progress has been made in characterizing the parvoviruses of shrimp and developing diagnostic methods aimed to preventing the spread of diseases caused by these viruses. To date, four parvoviruses are known that infect shrimp; these include IHHNV, hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV), spawner-isolated mortality virus (SMV), and lymphoid organ parvo-like virus. Due to the economic repercussions that IHHNV and HPV outbreaks have caused to shrimp farming over the years, studies have been focused mostly on these two pathogens, while information on SMV and LPV remains limited. IHHNV was the first shrimp virus to be sequenced and the first for which highly sensitive diagnostic methods were developed. IHHNV-resistant lines of shrimp were also developed to mitigate the losses caused by this virus. While the losses due to IHHNV have been largely contained in recent years, reports of HPV-induced mortalities in larval stages in hatchery and losses due to reduced growth have increased. This review presents a comprehensive account of the history and current knowledge on the biology, diagnostics methods, genomic features, mechanisms of evolution, and management strategies of shrimp parvoviruses. We also highlighted areas where research efforts should be focused in order to gain further insight on the mechanisms of parvoviral pathogenicity in shrimp that will help to prevent future losses caused by these viruses.
