Abstract
Decapod hepanhamaparvovirus 1 (DHPV), also known as hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV), has caused death in larvae or stunted growth in juveniles of cultured shrimp. To date, 4 genotypes (genotype I, II, III, and IV) have been reported from various shrimp species and various geographical regions. In the present study, we isolated 2 types of DHPV (GHPV-Goseong and DHPV-Geoje) from cultured Penaeus vannamei in Korea. Based on the capsid protein (VP) amino acid sequences, DHPV-Goseong was highly identical to previously reported DHPV genotype IV in Taiwan and Korea. Different from DHPV-Goseong, DHPV-Geoje showed approximately 63% similarity with DHPV genotype I, II, III and 84% similarity with DHPV genotype IV, suggesting an independent new genotype of DHPV (genotype V). Further research is needed to elucidate the origin and biological meanings of the present new genotype.

Current status of infection with infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian shrimp industry. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0272456. [PMID: 35947538 PMCID: PMC9365166 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0272456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Infection with infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) is a crustacean disease that caused large-scale mortality in Penaeus stylirostris, deformity and growth retardation in Penaeus vannamei and Penaeus monodon. We surveyed the presence of IHHNV in three major shrimp-producing regions in Ecuador, namely Guayas, El Oro, and Esmeralda. The data show that IHHNV is endemic (3.3–100% prevalence) to shrimp farms in these regions. The whole genome sequences of representative circulating IHHNV genotypes in Ecuador and Peru showed that these genotypes formed a separate cluster within the Type II genotypes and were divergent from other geographical isolates of IHHNV originating in Asia, Africa, Australia, and Brazil. In experimental bioassays using specific pathogen-free (SPF) P. vannamei, P. monodon, and P. stylirostris and representative IHHNV isolates from Ecuador and Peru, the virus did not cause any mortality or induce clinical signs in any of the three penaeid species. Although IHHNV-specific Cowdry type A inclusion bodies were histologically detected in experimentally challenged P. vannamei and P. monodon and confirmed by in situ hybridization, no such inclusions were observed in P. stylirostris. Moreover, P. vannamei had the highest viral load, followed by P. monodon and P. stylirostris. Based on IHHNV surveillance data, we conclude that the currently farmed P. vannamei lines in Ecuador are tolerant to circulating IHHNV genotypes. The genome sequence and experimental bioassay data showed that, although the currently circulating genotypes are infectious, they do not induce clinical lesions in the three commercially important penaeid species. These findings suggest a potentially evolving virus-host relationship where circulating genotypes of IHHNV co-exist in equilibrium with P. vannamei raised in Peru and Ecuador.

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
During a survey of farmed and wild crustaceans from India for viruses, spherical baculovirosis otherwise known as Penaeus monodon-type baculovirus (MBV) was detected in field-collected juvenile/sub-adult mud crab, Scylla serrata using a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based amplification of the hepatopancreatic DNA. Eight out of 115 mud crab (7.0%) examined during the study were found to be positive in the nested PCR resulting in a 361 nt amplicon. Mud crab, S. olivacea and other crustaceans such as marine crab, Portunus sanguinolentus and farmed penaeid shrimp, Penaeus vannamei and P. monodon were tested negative for the virus. Further, degenerate primers reported to amplify polyhedrin protein gene of MBV also showed PCR amplification in one of the MBV-positive crab samples resulting in a 250 nt amplicon. Sequencing of the two target amplicons (MBV- 361 nt and MBV polyhedrin - 216 nt) revealed more than 97.5 % and 92.8% sequence identity, respectively with the Penaeus monodon nudivirus and Penaeus monodon nucleopolyhedrovirus (MBV) reported from shrimp. Further, histological analysis of mud crab revealed nuclear hypertrophy, chromatin margination and intranuclear eosinophilic/basophilic inclusions in tubule epithelium of hepatopancreas. The hepatopancreatic tissue also showed unusually large, eosinophilic/basophilic inclusion-like structures. These inclusions resembled the viral inclusions reported from S. serrata from Australia. This is the first record of monodon-type baculovirus from a crab host and the second from a non-penaeid crustacean. Interestingly, some of the crab samples also showed deeply basophilic intranuclear inclusion-like bodies resembling hepatopancreatic parvovirus group of viruses (HPV). However, none of the crab samples subjected to PCR amplification using HPV-specific primers showed any amplification. The histological observations made in the present study indicate the possibility of the presence of two hepatopancreas-infecting viruses in S. serrata from India.

Abstract
Global shrimp farming is increasingly threatened by various emerging viruses. In the present study, a novel picornavirus, Penaeus vannamei picornavirus (PvPV), was discovered in moribund White leg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) collected from farm ponds in China in 2015. Similar to most picornaviruses, PvPV is non-enveloped RNA virus, with a particle diameter of approximately 30 nm. The sequence of the positive single-stranded RNA genome with a length of 10,550 nts was characterized by using genome sequencing and reverse transcription PCR. The existence of PvPV related proteins was further proved by confirmation of viral amino acid sequences, using mass spectrometry analysis. Phylogenetic analysis based on the full-length genomic sequence revealed that PvPV was more closely related to the Wenzhou shrimp virus 8 than to any other dicistroviruses in the order Picornavirales. Genomic sequence conservative domain prediction analysis showed that the PvPV genome encoded a large tegument protein UL36, which was unique among the known dicistroviruses and different from other dicistroviruses. According to these molecular features, we proposed that PvPV is a new species in the family Dicistroviridae. This study reported the first whole-genome sequence of a novel and distinct picornavirus in crustaceans, PvPV, and suggests that further studies of PvPV would be helpful in understanding its evolution and potential pathogenicity, as well as in developing diagnostic techniques.

Abstract
The giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) is a decapod crustacean widely reared for human consumption. Currently, viruses of two distinct lineages of parvoviruses (PVs, family Parvoviridae; subfamily Hamaparvovirinae) infect penaeid shrimp. Here, a PV was isolated and cloned from Vietnamese P. monodon specimens, designated Penaeus monodon metallodensovirus (PmMDV). This is the first member of a third divergent lineage shown to infect penaeid decapods. PmMDV has a transcription strategy unique among invertebrate PVs, using extensive alternative splicing and incorporating transcription elements characteristic of vertebrate-infecting PVs. The PmMDV proteins have no significant sequence similarity with other PVs, except for an SF3 helicase domain in its nonstructural protein. Its capsid structure, determined by cryoelectron microscopy to 3-Å resolution, has a similar surface morphology to Penaeus stylirostris densovirus, despite the lack of significant capsid viral protein (VP) sequence similarity. Unlike other PVs, PmMDV folds its VP without incorporating a βA strand and displayed unique multimer interactions, including the incorporation of a Ca2+ cation, attaching the N termini under the icosahedral fivefold symmetry axis, and forming a basket-like pentamer helix bundle. While the PmMDV VP sequence lacks a canonical phospholipase A2 domain, the structure of an EDTA-treated capsid, determined to 2.8-Å resolution, suggests an alternative membrane-penetrating cation-dependent mechanism in its N-terminal region. PmMDV is an observed example of convergent evolution among invertebrate PVs with respect to host-driven capsid structure and unique as a PV showing a cation-sensitive/dependent basket structure for an alternative endosomal egress.

Abstract
Parvoviruses, infecting vertebrates and invertebrates, are a family of single-stranded DNA viruses with small, non-enveloped capsids with T = 1 icosahedral symmetry. A quarter of a century after the first parvovirus capsid structure was published, approximately 100 additional structures have been analyzed. This first structure was that of Canine Parvovirus, and it initiated the practice of structure-to-function correlation for the family. Despite high diversity in the capsid viral protein (VP) sequence, the structural topologies of all parvoviral capsids are conserved. However, surface loops inserted between the core secondary structure elements vary in conformation that enables the assembly of unique capsid surface morphologies within individual genera. These variations enable each virus to establish host niches by allowing host receptor attachment, specific tissue tropism, and antigenic diversity. This review focuses on the diversity among the parvoviruses with respect to the transcriptional strategy of the encoded VPs, the advances in capsid structure-function annotation, and therapeutic developments facilitated by the available structures.

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.

Intracellular Localization of Blattella germanica Densovirus (BgDV1) Capsid Proteins. Viruses 2018; 10:v10070370.

Abstract
Densovirus genome replication and capsid assembly take place in the nucleus of the infected cells. However, the mechanisms underlying such processes as the delivery of virus proteins to the nucleus and the export of progeny virus from the nucleus remain elusive. It is evident that nuclear transport signals should be involved in these processes. We performed an in silico search for the putative nuclear localization signal (NLS) and nuclear export signal (NES) motifs in the capsid proteins of the Blattella germanica Densovirus 1 (BgDV1) densovirus. A high probability NLS motif was found in the common C-terminal of capsid proteins together with a NES motif in the unique N-terminal of VP2. We also performed a global search for the nuclear traffic signals in the densoviruses belonging to five Densovirinae genera, which revealed high diversity in the patterns of NLSs and NESs. Using a heterologous system, the HeLa mammalian cell line expressing GFP-fused BgDV1 capsid proteins, we demonstrated that both signals are functionally active. We suggest that the NLS shared by all three BgDV1 capsid proteins drives the trafficking of the newly-synthesized proteins into the nucleus, while the NES may play a role in the export of the newly-assembled BgDV1 particles into the cytoplasm through nuclear pore complexes.

Abstract
RNA alternative splicing (AS) is an important post-transcriptional mechanism enabling single genes to produce multiple proteins. It has been well demonstrated that viruses deploy host AS machinery for viral protein productions. However, knowledge on viral AS is limited to a few disease-causing viruses in model species. Here we report a novel approach to characterizing viral AS using whole transcriptome dataset from host species. Two insect transcriptomes (Acheta domesticus and Planococcus citri) generated in the 1,000 Insect Transcriptome Evolution (1KITE) project were used as a proof of concept using the new pipeline. Two closely related densoviruses (Acheta domesticus densovirus, AdDNV, and Planococcus citri densovirus, PcDNV, Ambidensovirus, Densovirinae, Parvoviridae) were detected and analyzed for AS patterns. The results suggested that although the two viruses shared major AS features, dramatic AS divergences were observed. Detailed analysis of the splicing junctions showed clusters of AS events occurred in two regions of the virus genome, demonstrating that transcriptome analysis could gain valuable insights into viral splicing. When applied to large-scale transcriptomics projects with diverse taxonomic sampling, our new method is expected to rapidly expand our knowledge on RNA splicing mechanisms for a wide range of viruses.

Their relative simplicity of replication and dependence on actively dividing cells makes them highly pathogenic for many invertebrates (Hexapoda, Decapoda, etc.). We present their taxonomical classification and describe the evolutionary relationships between various groups of invertebrate-infecting viruses, their high degree of recombination, and their relationship to viruses infecting mammals or other vertebrates. They share characteristics of the viruses within the various families, including structure of the virus particle, genome properties, and gene expression strategy.

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
Densoviruses are a group of arthropod-infecting viruses with a small single-stranded linear DNA genome. These viruses constitute the subfamily Densovirinae of the family Parvoviridae. While recombination in between vertebrate-infecting parvoviruses has been investigated, to date, no systematic analysis of recombination has been carried out for densoviruses. The aim of the present work was to study possible recombination events in the evolutionary history of densoviruses and to assess possible effects of recombination on phylogenies inferred using amino acid sequences of nonstructural (NS) and capsid (viral protein, VP) proteins. For this purpose, the complete or nearly complete genome nucleotide sequences of 40 densoviruses from the GenBank database were used to construct a phylogenetic cladogram. The viruses under study clustered into five distinct groups corresponding to the five currently accepted genera. Recombination within each group was studied independently. The RDP4 software revealed three statistically highly credible recombination events, two of which involved viruses of the genus Ambidensovirus, and the other, viruses from the genus Iteradensovirus. These recombination events led to mismatches between phylogenetic trees constructed using comparison of amino acid sequences of proteins encoded by genome regions of recombinant and non-recombinant origin (regulatory NS1 and NS3 proteins and capsid VP protein).

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
Metagenomics was used to characterize viral genomes in clinical specimens of horses with various organ-specific diseases of unknown aetiology. A novel parvovirus as well as a previously described hepacivirus closely related to human hepatitis C virus and equid herpesvirus 2 were identified in the cerebrospinal fluid of horses with neurological signs. Four co-infecting picobirnaviruses, including an unusual genome with fused RNA segments, and a divergent anellovirus were found in the plasma of two febrile horses. A novel cyclovirus genome was characterized from the nasal secretion of another febrile animal. Lastly, a small circular DNA genome with a Rep gene, from a virus we called kirkovirus, was identified in the liver and spleen of a horse with fatal idiopathic hepatopathy. This study expands the number of viruses found in horses, and characterizes their genomes to assist future epidemiological studies of their transmission and potential association with various equine diseases.

Abstract
Background Parvoviruses are classified into two subfamilies based on their host range: the Parvovirinae, which infect vertebrates, and the Densovirinae, which mainly infect insects and other arthropods. In recent years, a number of novel parvoviruses belonging to the subfamily Parvovirinae have been identified from various animal species and humans, including human parvovirus 4 (PARV4), porcine hokovirus, ovine partetravirus, porcine parvovirus 4 (PPV4), and porcine parvovirus 5 (PPV5). Methods Using sequence-independent single primer amplification (SISPA), a novel parvovirus within the subfamily Parvovirinae that was distinct from any known parvoviruses was identified and five full-length genome sequences were determined and analyzed. Results A novel porcine parvovirus, provisionally named PPV6, was initially identified from aborted pig fetuses in China. Retrospective studies revealed the prevalence of PPV6 in aborted pig fetuses and piglets(50% and 75%, respectively) was apparently higher than that in finishing pigs and sows (15.6% and 3.8% respectively). Furthermore, the prevalence of PPV6 in finishing pig was similar in affected and unaffected farms (i.e. 16.7% vs. 13.6%-21.7%). This finding indicates that animal age, perhaps due to increased innate immune resistance, strongly influences the level of PPV6 viremia. Complete genome sequencing and multiple alignments have shown that the nearly full-length genome sequences were approximately 6,100 nucleotides in length and shared 20.5%–42.6% DNA sequence identity with other members of the Parvovirinae subfamily. Phylogenetic analysis showed that PPV6 was significantly distinct from other known parvoviruses and was most closely related to PPV4. Conclusion Our findings and review of published parvovirus sequences suggested that a novel porcine parvovirus is currently circulating in China and might be classified into the novel genus Copiparvovirus within the subfamily Parvovirinae. However, the clinical manifestations of PPV6 are still unknown in that the prevalence of PPV6 was similar between healthy pigs and sick pigs in a retrospective epidemiological study. The identification of PPV6 within the subfamily Parvovirinae provides further insight into the viral and genetic diversity of parvoviruses.

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.

Abstract
An attempt was made to determine the replication efficiency of hepatopancreatic parvo-like virus (HPV) of shrimp in different organs of freshwater rice-field crab Paratelphusa hydrodomous (Herbst) using bioassay, PCR, RT-PCR, ELISA, Western blot and q-PCR analyses. Another attempt was made to use this crab as an alternative to penaeid shrimp for the large-scale production of HPV. This crab was found to be highly susceptible to HPV by intramuscular injection. The systemic HPV infection was confirmed by PCR and Western blot analyses in freshwater crab. The expression of capsid protein gene in different organs of infected crab was revealed by RT-PCR analysis. Indirect ELISA was used to quantify the capsid protein in different organs of the crab. The copy number of HPV in different organs of the infected crab was quantified by q-PCR. The results revealed a steady decrease in CT values in different organs of the infected crab during the course of infection. The viral inoculum that was prepared from different organs of the infected crab caused significant mortality in post-larvae of tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon (Fabricius). The results revealed that this rice-field crab could be used as an alternative host for HPV replication and also for large-scale production of HPV.

Abstract
Among shrimp viral pathogens, white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and yellow head virus (YHV) are the most lethal agents, causing serious problems for both the whiteleg shrimp, Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei, and the black tiger shrimp, Penaeus (Penaeus) monodon. Another important virus that infects P. vannamei is infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV), which induces the white discoloration of affected muscle. In the cases of taura syndrome virus and Penaeus stylirostris densovirus (PstDNV; formerly known as infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus), their impacts were greatly diminished after the introduction of tolerant stocks of P. vannamei. Less important viruses are Penaeus monodon densovirus (PmDNV; formerly called hepatopancreatic parvovirus), and Penaeus monodon nucleopolyhedrovirus (PemoNPV; previously called monodon baculovirus). For freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus and extra small virus are considered important viral pathogens. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific to the shrimp viruses described above have been generated and used as an alternative tool in various immunoassays such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, dot blotting, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Some of these MAbs were further developed into immunochromatographic strip tests for the detection of WSSV, YHV, IMNV and PemoNPV and into a dual strip test for the simultaneous detection of WSSV/YHV. The strip test has the advantages of speed, as the result can be obtained within 15 min, and simplicity, as laboratory equipment and specialized skills are not required. Therefore, strip tests can be used by shrimp farmers for the pond-side monitoring of viral infection.

Abstract
Hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) is one of the major shrimp parvovirus which is known to cause slow growth in penaeid shrimps. HPV has been found in wild and cultured penaeid shrimps throughout the world and there is high genetic variation among the different geographic isolates/host species. Given its high prevalence, wide distribution and ability to cause considerable economic loss in shrimp aquaculture industry, HPV deserves more attention than it has received. Till date, a total of four complete genome sequences of HPV have been reported in addition to a large number of partial sequences. HPV infection is seldom observed alone in epizootics and has occurred in multiple infections with other more pathogenic viruses and in most cases, heavy infections result in no visible inflammatory response. A great deal of information has accumulated in recent years on the clinical signs, geographical distribution, transmission and genetic diversity of HPV infection in shrimp aquaculture. However, the mechanism by which HPV enters the shrimp tissues and pathogenesis of virus is still unknown. To date, no effective prophylactic measures are available to reduce the infection in shrimps. To control and prevent HPV infection, considerable research efforts are on. This review provides information on current knowledge on HPV infection in penaeid shrimp aquaculture.

Abstract
Hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) of shrimp is distributed worldwide and the entire genome of Thailand and Indian strains (PmDNV) and one Australian strain (PmergDNV) have now been reported. The complete nucleotide sequence of a HPV strain isolated from the fleshy prawn Fenneropenaeus chinensis in Korea (FcDNV) was determined and compared to previously reported sequences. The entire genome of FcDNV contains 6,336 nucleotides, with 40% G+C content, which is the biggest of the known HPV strains. The HPV genome has three open reading frames (ORFs) with a slight overlap between the first and second ORFs. The three ORFs encode the NS2 and NS1 proteins and VP that consist of 425, 578, and 820 amino acids, respectively. Among the three proteins, the NS1 protein shows the highest sequence similarity to the NS1 protein of other known HPV strains, followed by the NS2 protein and the VP protein. Phylogenetic analyses showed that HPV can be grouped into three genotypes, as previously reported, and FcDNV can be grouped as genotype I, with HPV strains isolated in Madagascar and Tanzania. The nucleotide sequences of the noncoding regions at the 5'- and 3'-ends of the plus-strand genome showed a Y-shaped hairpin structure and simple hairpin structure, respectively.

Multiplex real-time PCR and high-resolution melting analysis for detection of white spot syndrome virus, yellow-head virus, and Penaeus monodon densovirus in penaeid shrimp. J Virol Methods 2011; 178:16-21.

Abstract
A multiplex real-time PCR and high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis was developed to detect simultaneously three of the major viruses of penaeid shrimp including white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), yellow-head virus (YHV), and Penaeus monodon densovirus (PmDNV). Plasmids containing DNA/cDNA fragments of WSSV and YHV, and genomic DNAs of PmDNV and normal shrimp were used to test sensitivity of the procedure. Without the need of any probe, the products were identified by HRM analysis after real-time PCR amplification using three sets of viral specific primers. The results showed DNA melting curves that were specific for individual virus. No positive result was detected with nucleic acids from shrimp, Penaeus monodon nucleopolyhedrovirus (PemoNPV), Penaeus stylirostris densovirus (PstDNV), or Taura syndrome virus (TSV). The detection limit for PmDNV, YHV and WSSV DNAs were 40fg, 50fg, and 500fg, respectively, which was 10 times more sensitive than multiplex real-time PCR analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. In viral nucleic acid mixtures, HRM analysis clearly identified each virus in dual and triple infection. To test the capability to use this method in field, forty-one of field samples were examined by HRM analysis in comparison with agarose gel electrophoresis. For HRM analysis, 11 (26.83%), 9 (21.95%), and 4 (9.76%) were infected with WSSV, PmDNV, and YHV, respectively. Agarose gel electrophoresis detected lesser number of PmDNV infection which may due to the limit of sensitivity. No multiple infection was found in these samples. This method provides a rapid, sensitive, specific, and simultaneous detection of three major viruses making it as a useful tool for diagnosis and epidemiological studies of these viruses in shrimp and carriers.

Abstract
In silico analysis of three Penaeus stylirostris densovirus (PstDNV) promoters, designated P2, P11, and P61, revealed sequence motifs including the TATA box, downstream promoter element (DPE), GC- and A-rich regions, inverted repeat, activation sequence-1 like (ASL) box, and a conserved guanosine (G) at +24. To delineate the regulatory role of these motifs on promoter activity, deletion constructs were made in a promoter assay vector, pGL3 Basic, that contains a luciferase reporter gene. Luciferase assay showed that P2 had the highest promoter activity followed by P11 and P61 in Sf9 cells. The deletions of inverted repeat, DPE, and GC-rich regions in P2 had the highest negative impact on this promoter. Deletions of DPE, G at the +24, and ASL box in P11 had the highest negative impact on this promoter activity. In P61, DPE and G at +24 are the two key regulators of transcriptional activity. Identification of the key transcriptional regulators is important in understanding the PstDNV pathogenesis in shrimp. This information is also valuable in constructing shrimp viral promoter-based vectors for protein expression in insect cell culture system as well as in shrimp.

Abstract
The Acheta domesticus densovirus (AdDNV), isolated from crickets, has been endemic in Europe for at least 35 years. Severe epizootics have also been observed in American commercial rearings since 2009 and 2010. The AdDNV genome was cloned and sequenced for this study. The transcription map showed that splicing occurred in both the nonstructural (NS) and capsid protein (VP) multicistronic RNAs. The splicing pattern of NS mRNA predicted 3 nonstructural proteins (NS1 [576 codons], NS2 [286 codons], and NS3 [213 codons]). The VP gene cassette contained two VP open reading frames (ORFs), of 597 (ORF-A) and 268 (ORF-B) codons. The VP2 sequence was shown by N-terminal Edman degradation and mass spectrometry to correspond with ORF-A. Mass spectrometry, sequencing, and Western blotting of baculovirus-expressed VPs versus native structural proteins demonstrated that the VP1 structural protein was generated by joining ORF-A and -B via splicing (splice II), eliminating the N terminus of VP2. This splice resulted in a nested set of VP1 (816 codons), VP3 (467 codons), and VP4 (429 codons) structural proteins. In contrast, the two splices within ORF-B (Ia and Ib) removed the donor site of intron II and resulted in VP2, VP3, and VP4 expression. ORF-B may also code for several nonstructural proteins, of 268, 233, and 158 codons. The small ORF-B contains the coding sequence for a phospholipase A2 motif found in VP1, which was shown previously to be critical for cellular uptake of the virus. These splicing features are unique among parvoviruses and define a new genus of ambisense densoviruses.

Abstract
We describe a duplex real-time PCR assay using TaqMan probes for the simultaneous detection of monodon baculovirus (MBV) and hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV). Both MBV and HPV are shrimp enteric viruses that infect intestinal and hepatopancreatic epithelial cells. Both viruses can cause significant mortalities and depressed growth in infected larval, postlarval, and early juvenile stages of shrimp, and thus present a risk to commercial aquaculture. In this duplex assay, we combined 2 single real-time PCRs, amplifying MBV and HPV, in a one-tube PCR reaction. The 2 viruses were distinguished by specific fluorescent labels at the 5' end of TaqMan probes: the MBV probe was labeled with dichlorodimethoxyfluorescein (JOE), and the HPV probe was labeled with 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM). The duplex real-time PCR assay was performed in a multi-channel real-time PCR detection system, and MBV and HPV amplification signals were separately detected by the JOE and FAM channels. This duplex assay was validated to be specific to the target viruses and found to have a detection limit of single copies for each virus. The dynamic range was found to be from 1 to 1 x 10(8) copies per reaction. This assay was further applied to quantify MBV and HPV in samples of infected Penaeus monodon collected from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. The specificity and sensitivity of this duplex real-time PCR assay offer a valuable tool for routine diagnosis and quantification of MBV and HPV from both wild and farmed shrimp stocks.

Abstract
Hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) causes a common shrimp disease that occurs in many shrimp farming regions, especially in the Indo Pacific, and infects most of the cultured penaeid species. There are seven geographic HPV isolates known, so a method to detect different HPV types is needed. We developed a sensitive and generic real-time PCR assay for the detection of HPV. A pair of primers and TaqMan probe based on an HPV sequence obtained from samples of Fenneropenaeus chinensis from Korea were selected, and they were used to amplify a 92 bp DNA fragment. This real-time PCR was found to be specific to HPV and did not react with other shrimp viruses. A plasmid (pHPV-2) containing the target HPV sequence was constructed and used for determination of the sensitivity of this assay. The assay could detect a single copy of plasmid DNA, and it was used successfully in finding HPV in shrimp samples from the China-Yellow Sea region, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Madagascar, New Caledonia and Tanzania.

Abstract
Penaeus stylirostris densovirus (PstDNV) genome contains three open reading frames (ORFs), left, middle, and right, which encode a non-structural (NS) protein, an unknown protein, and a capsid protein (CP), respectively. Transcription mapping revealed that P2, P11 and P61 promoters transcribe the left, middle and right ORFs. NS transcript uses the D1/A1 donor/acceptor sites for splicing and has two alternate transcription termination sites (TTS) that were different from the previously predicted TTS. The transcription initiation site (TIS) and the TTS for the middle and the right ORFs conform to predicted sites. PstDNV transcript quantification in infected shrimp revealed that the NS and CP transcripts were expressed at an equivalent level and significantly higher than the middle ORF transcript. In vitro assay showed that P2 had the highest promoter activity followed by P11 and P61. Transcription mapping data provided new insights into PstDNV gene expression strategy.

Abstract
Stunted shrimp caused by Penaeus monodon densovirus (PmDNV) infection is one of the main problems leading to a significant economic loss in Thailand. To control this pandemic disease, a double-stranded-RNA-mediated virus-specific gene silencing approach was applied to inhibit viral replication. In this study, two dsRNAs corresponding to the non-structural protein (ns1) and the structural protein (vp) genes of PmDNV were synthesized and introduced into shrimp haemolymph prior to viral challenge. After allowing viral replication for two weeks, the suppression effect by each dsRNA was evaluated by semi-quantitative PCR and compared with the control. A reduction of PmDNV in shrimp treated with each dsRNA was observed. In contrast, a high level of viral infection was detected in the control group (NaCl). Based on a limited sample number, we reached the tentative conclusion that virus-specific dsRNA can inhibit PmDNV replication, in which the dsRNA-ns1 was more effective than the dsRNA-vp.

Abstract
The complete nucleic acid sequence of the Penaeus monodon densovirus (PmDNV) from India was characterized. Analysis of the whole genome, consisting of 6310 bp revealed the presence of three open reading frames (ORFs), comprising 1281 bp, 1734 bp and 2460 bp, respectively. The complete genome and amino acid sequences of three proteins viz., NS1, NS2 and VP were compared with PmDNV from Thailand, PmergDNV from Australia and other partial sequences in GenBank, respectively. Highest nucleotide similarity was observed with the Thai strain (88%), while 33, 32 and 91 amino acid substitutions were observed in the NS2, NS1 and VP, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of shrimp, insect and vertebrate parvovirus sequences revealed that the Indian PmDNV is more closely related to Thai isolates than all other parvoviruses reported so far.

Abstract
Viral enteric disease in poultry is an ongoing problem in many parts of the world. Many enteric viruses have been identified in turkeys and chickens, including avian astroviruses, rotaviruses, reoviruses, and coronaviruses. Through the application of a molecular screening method targeting particle-associated nucleic acid (PAN), we recently described the detection and partial characterization of a novel enteric parvovirus in chickens. Subsequent surveys of intestinal homogenates from turkeys and chickens in the United States revealed widespread occurrence of parvovirus in poultry. Here we report the first full genome sequence of a novel chicken parvovirus, ChPV ABU-P1. ChPV ABU-P1 genome organization, predicted amino acid sequence, and phylogenetic relationships with other described parvoviruses are discussed.

Abstract
Poult enteritis mortality syndrome (PEMS) of turkeys and runting-stunting syndrome (RSS) of chickens are significant viral enteric diseases of poultry. Although a number of different viruses, including avian reoviruses, rotaviruses, astroviruses and coronaviruses, have been isolated from the intestinal contents of birds in affected poultry flocks, their role in PEMS and RSS is not yet understood. Here, we report the application of a molecular screening method to detection of novel viruses in intestinal samples of chickens and turkeys exhibiting characteristic signs of enteric disease. The technique is based on random amplification of particle-associated nucleic acids in clinical samples. Using this method we successfully identified parvovirus DNA sequences in intestinal homogenates of affected birds. This is the first time partial genomic sequences of autonomously replicating chicken and turkey parvoviruses have been described. Sequence analysis of the left end of the genome, including the complete non-structural gene, demonstrated that the chicken and turkey parvoviruses were closely related to each other and were representative of a novel member of the Parvovirus family. These parvoviruses may play a significant role in the aetiology of PEMS and RSS.

Multiplex RT-PCR assay for simultaneous detection of six viruses of penaeid shrimp. Mol Cell Probes 2008; 22:177-83. [PMID: 18406570 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcp.2007.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2007] [Revised: 12/18/2007] [Accepted: 12/31/2007] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
In the present study, multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (mRT-PCR) was developed for simultaneously detection of six major shrimp viruses including yellow-head virus (YHV), white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), Taura syndrome virus (TSV), hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV), infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) and monodon baculovirus (MBV). The six primer sets could amplify viral nucleic acids resulting in PCR products with different sizes. They were highly specific and did not cross-hybridize with other viral or shrimp nucleic acids. The sensitivity of the multiplex RT-PCR was 0.15pg for IHHNV, 0.15pg for TSV, 1.00pg for HPV, 1.5pg for MBV, 5.00pg for WSSV and 10.00pg for YHV. In the field application, 42 samples including whole tissue of post-larvae and hepatopancreas of Penaeus monodon collected from ponds in the central and southern parts of Thailand during 2002-2005 were examined by multiplex RT-PCR. The results revealed that a single infection was dominant and WSSV was the highest prevalence at that time. Dual infection was found in one sample. This developed multiplex RT-PCR will be useful for simultaneous detection of six major viruses of penaeid shrimp and benefit to shrimp cultured industry.

Functional characterization of putative promoter elements from infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) in shrimp and in insect and fish cell lines. Virus Res 2007; 127:1-8. [PMID: 17434223 DOI: 10.1016/j.virusres.2007.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2006] [Revised: 03/13/2007] [Accepted: 03/13/2007] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) of shrimp contains a linear single-stranded DNA genome of approximately 4.1kb with three putative open reading frames (ORFs) on the same DNA strand designated, the Left, Middle, and Right ORFs. The Left ORF codes for non-structural protein and the Right ORF codes for capsid protein, whereas the role of the Middle ORF is still unknown. Two putative promoters, designated P2 and P61, were detected upstream of the Left ORF and Right ORF, respectively. We evaluated the activities of these two promoters with or without a transcriptional enhancer element via the use of firefly luciferase reporter constructs in insect and fish cells, and in shrimp tail muscle. In insect and fish cells, the P2 promoter was stronger than the P61 promoter. The presence of the SV40 enhancer element negatively affected P2 but not P61 promoter activity in insect cells. However, in fish cells, the SV40 enhancer element dramatically increased the activities of both promoters. In shrimp, there was no significant difference in luciferase expression driven by these two promoters. In shrimp tail muscle, the presence of SV40 enhancer element in the construct had no significant effect on the P2 promoter and a negative effect on the P61 promoter. The IHHNV P2 and P61 promoters were found to be constitutive promoters that can drive gene expression in both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts.

Abstract
Hepatopancreatic parvovirus infection is associated with reduced growth rates of prawns during the juvenile stages and overt mortalities. Hepatopancreatic parvovirus was purified from Penaeus merguiensis from northern Queensland and a partial consensus sequence of 5.9 kb was obtained. Nucleotide comparisons revealed that the Australian isolate of HPV has a nucleotide similarity (87%) closer to HPVchin and the full sequence of HPV Penaeus monodon (PmDNV) (6321 bp) than to HPVsemi (83%). Three putative open reading frames were identified. The first open reading frame encoded a nonstructural protein (NS2) and shared an amino acid similarity of 86% with PmDNV. The second ORF overlapped the first open reading frame and shared 93% and 26% amino acid similarity with PmDNV and PstDNV, respectively, and encoded NS1. The third ORF encoded the viral structural protein and shared an amino acid similarity of 73% with the capsid protein of PmDNV and HPVchin. The phylogeny suggests that the Australian HPV isolate is closely related to the Korean HPVchin isolate than to the Indian HPVsemi and Thai PmDNV isolates. HPV strains may be following the phylogenetic relationship of penaeid prawn hosts rather than their geography.

Abstract
Recently, three distinct genotypes (1, 2 and 3) of human parvovirus B19 (B19) have been identified. However, the characteristics and distribution of B19 genotypes in Vietnam have not been investigated. Phylogenetic analysis using 49 subgenomic NS1/VP1u regions and two coding NS1-VP1/VP2 regions has been applied to investigate the prevalence of B19 genotypes in Vietnamese patients co-infected with Hepatitis B virus. Genetic analysis of the subgenomic NS1/VP1u region of B19 revealed that two genotypes of B19 were identified in these populations, with predominance of genotype 1 (47/49, 96 %) followed by genotype 2 (2/49, 4 %), but not genotype 3. Further, phylogenetic analysis of subgenomic B19 genomes revealed two major subgroups within genotype 1 (B19-1A and B19-1B) with an estimated nucleotide difference of >5 % between each subgroup, forming different branches. The mean percentage of amino acid variation between subgroup B19-1A and B19-1B was >2 % of the NS1, VP1 and VP2 proteins. Our results indicated that two of the three known genotypes of B19 were present in Vietnamese patients, with genotype 1 predominating, and that this genotype can be classified into at least two subgroups, B19-1A and B19-1B.

Abstract
Although animal parvoviruses have long been recognized as causes of brain pathology in multiple animal models, especially during early development, human parvoviruses are rarely thought of as neurotropic or causes of neuropathology in humans. However, several recent case reports have suggested possible associations of parvovirus B19 (B19) infection with various neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2) is related to B19 but has thus far not been shown to be associated with any human disease but is of clinical interest because of the recent use of recombinant AAV vectors in human gene therapy, including gene delivery to the brain. To date, there have been no large-scale studies of the propensity of wild-type human parvoviruses to infect the brain. The Stanley Medical Research Institute Brain Collection offered a unique opportunity to study a large sample (n = 104) of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPC) DNAs isolated from unaffected control, schizophrenic, and bipolar disorder brains for the presence of parvoviral sequences. This is the first investigator-blinded study to document the presence of parvoviral sequences in the DLPC by utilizing highly sensitive nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) and DNA sequencing. Of the overall sample, 6.7% to 12.5% were positive for AAV2, and 14.4% to 42.3% were positive for B19 sequences, with no statistical differences among subgroups. This is the first report to demonstrate the presence of human parvoviruses in a large cohort of adult DLPC, which underscores the need to gain a better insight into the basic biology of parvovirus-brain interactions, including mechanisms of infection and persistence.
