FEMS Microbiol Lett 2024; 371:fnae018. [PMID: 38460951 DOI: 10.1093/femsle/fnae018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Snakehead vesiculovirus (SHVV) is one of the primary pathogens responsible for viral diseases in the snakehead fish. A TaqMan-based real-time PCR assay was established for the rapid detection and quantification of SHVV in this study. Specific primers and fluorescent probes were designed for phosphoprotein (P) gene, and after optimizing the reaction conditions, the results indicated that the detection limit of this method could reach 37.1 copies, representing a 100-fold increase in detection sensitivity compared to RT-PCR. The specificity testing results revealed that this method exhibited no cross-reactivity with ISKNV, LMBV, RSIV, RGNNV, GCRV, and CyHV-2. Repetition experiments demonstrated that both intra-batch and inter-batch coefficients of variation were not higher than 1.66%. Through in vitro infection experiments monitoring the quantitative changes of SHVV in different tissues, the results indicated that the liver and spleen exhibited the highest viral load at 3 poi. The TaqMan-based real-time PCR method established in this study exhibits high sensitivity, excellent specificity, and strong reproducibility. It can be employed for rapid detection and viral load monitoring of SHVV, thus providing a robust tool for the clinical diagnosis and pathogen research of SHVV.

Progress in Plasmonic Sensors as Monitoring Tools for Aquaculture Quality Control. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:90. [PMID: 36671925 PMCID: PMC9856096 DOI: 10.3390/bios13010090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
Aquaculture is an expanding economic sector that nourishes the world's growing population due to its nutritional significance over the years as a source of high-quality proteins. However, it has faced severe challenges due to significant cases of environmental pollution, pathogen outbreaks, and the lack of traceability that guarantees the quality assurance of its products. Such context has prompted many researchers to work on the development of novel, affordable, and reliable technologies, many based on nanophotonic sensing methodologies. These emerging technologies, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), localised SPR (LSPR), and fibre-optic SPR (FO-SPR) systems, overcome many of the drawbacks of conventional analytical tools in terms of portability, reagent and solvent use, and the simplicity of sample pre-treatments, which would benefit a more sustainable and profitable aquaculture. To highlight the current progress made in these technologies that would allow them to be transferred for implementation in the field, along with the lag with respect to the most cutting-edge plasmonic sensing, this review provides a variety of information on recent advances in these emerging methodologies that can be used to comprehensively monitor the various operations involving the different commercial stages of farmed aquaculture. For example, to detect environmental hazards, track fish health through biochemical indicators, and monitor disease and biosecurity of fish meat products. Furthermore, it highlights the critical issues associated with these technologies, how to integrate them into farming facilities, and the challenges and prospects of developing plasmonic-based sensors for aquaculture.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2022; 12:930585.

Abstract
In recent years, the “milky disease” caused by Metschnikowia bicuspidata has seriously affected the Eriocheir sinensis culture industry. Discovering and blocking the transmission route has become the key to controlling this disease. The existing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection technology for M. bicuspidata uses the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence, but low sensitivity and specificity lead to frequent false detections. We developed a highly specific and sensitive nested PCR method to detect M. bicuspidata, by targeting the hyphally regulated cell wall protein (HYR) gene. This nested HYR-PCR produced a single clear band, showed no cross-reaction with other pathogens, and was superior to rDNA-PCR in specificity and sensitivity. The sensitivity of nested HYR-PCR (6.10 × 101 copies/μL) was greater than those of the large subunit ribosomal RNA gene (LSU rRNA; 6.03 × 104 copies/μL) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS; 6.74 × 105 copies/μL) PCRs. The nested HYR-PCR also showed a higher positivity rate (71.1%) than those obtained with LSU rRNA (16.7%) and ITS rDNA (24.4%). In conclusion, we developed a new nested HYR-PCR method for the specific and sensitive detection of M. bicuspidata infection. This will help to elucidate the transmission route of M. bicuspidata and to design effective management and control measures for M. bicuspidata disease.

Abstract
Shrimp is one of the most valuable aquaculture species globally, and the most internationally traded seafood product. Consequently, shrimp aquaculture practices have received increasing attention due to their high value and levels of demand, and this has contributed to economic growth in many developing countries. The global production of shrimp reached approximately 6.5 million t in 2019 and the shrimp aquaculture industry has consequently become a large-scale operation. However, the expansion of shrimp aquaculture has also been accompanied by various disease outbreaks, leading to large losses in shrimp production. Among the diseases, there are various viral diseases which can cause serious damage when compared to bacterial and fungi-based illness. In addition, new viral diseases occur rapidly, and existing diseases can evolve into new types. To address this, the review presented here will provide information on the DNA and RNA of shrimp viral diseases that have been designated by the World Organization for Animal Health and identify the latest shrimp disease trends.

Abstract
The bunyavirus Mourilyan virus (MoV) occurs commonly in Black tiger (Penaeus monodon) and kuruma shrimp (Penaeus japonicus) farmed in eastern Australia. There is circumstantial evidence of MoV causing mortalities among P. japonicus moved from farm ponds to tanks for rearing as broodstock. To directly assess its pathogenic potential, independent cohorts of pond- (n = 24) or tank-reared juvenile (n = 21) P. japonicus were challenged intramuscularly with a cephalothorax tissue homogenate of P. monodon containing high loads of MoV (1.48 ± 0.28 × 108 MoV RNA copies/µg total RNA). In each trial, mortalities accumulated gradually among the saline-injected controls. Mortality onset occurred 12-14 days earlier in the pond-reared shrimp, possibly due to them possessing low-level pre-existing MoV infections. Despite the time to onset of mortality differing, Kaplan-Meier survival analyses confirmed mortality rates to be significantly higher in both the pond- (p = .017) and tank-reared shrimp (p = .031) challenged with MoV. RT-qPCR data on shrimp sampled progressively over each trial showed high loads of MoV to establish following challenge and discounted GAV and other endemic viruses from contributing to mortality. Together, the data show that acute MoV infection can adversely compromise the survival of juvenile P. japonicus.
