Abstract
The piscine orthomyxovirus called infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) is one of the most important emerging pathogens affecting the salmon industry worldwide. The first reverse genetics system for ISAV, which allows the generation of recombinant ISA virus (rISAV), is an important tool for the characterization and study of this virus. The plasmid-based reverse genetics system for ISAV includes the use of a novel fish promoter, the Atlantic salmon internal transcribed spacer region 1 (ITS-1). The salmon, viral, and mammalian genetic elements included in the pSS-URG vectors allow the expression of the eight viral RNA segments. In addition to four cytomegalovirus (CMV)-based vectors that express the four proteins of the ISAV ribonucleoprotein complex, the eight pSS-URG vectors allowed the generation of infectious rISAV in salmon cells.

Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus Infectivity Is Determined by Multiple Segments with an Important Contribution from Segment 5. Viruses 2022; 14:v14030631.

Abstract
Infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) is the etiological agent of infectious salmon anemia. It belongs to the genus isavirus, one of the genera of the Orthomyxoviridae family, as does Influenzavirus A. The ISAV genome comprises eight negative-sense single-stranded RNA segments that code for at least 10 proteins. Although some ISAV strains can reach 100% mortality rates, the factors that determine isavirus infectivity remain unknown. However, some studies suggest that segments 5 and 6 are responsible for the different degrees of virulence and infectivity among ISAV subtypes, unlike the influenza A virus, where most segments are involved in the virus infectivity. In this work, synthetic reassortant viruses for the eight segments of ISAV were generated by reverse genetics, combining a highly virulent virus, ISAV 752_09 (HPR7b), and an avirulent strain, SK779/06 (HPR0). We characterized the rescued viruses and their capacity to replicate and infect different cell lines, produce plaques in ASK cells, and their ability to induce and modulate the cellular immune response in vitro. Our results show that the majority of ISAV segments are involved in at least one of the analyzed characteristics, segment 5 being one of the most important, allowing HPR0 viruses, among other things, to produce plaques and replicate in CHSE-214 cells. We determined that segments 5 and 6 participate in different stages of the viral cycle, and their compatibility is critical for viral infection. Additionally, we demonstrated that segment 2 can modulate the cellular immune response. Our results indicate a high degree of genetic compatibility between the genomic segments of HPR7b and HPR0, representing a latent risk of reassortant that would give rise to a new virus with an unknown phenotype.

Rapid sequence modification in the highly polymorphic region (HPR) of the hemagglutinin gene of the infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) suggests intra-segmental template switching recombination. JOURNAL OF FISH DISEASES 2020; 43:1483-1496.

Abstract
The ISAV has a genome composed of eight segments of (-)ssRNA, segment 6 codes for the hemagglutinin-esterase protein, and has the most variable region of the genome, the highly polymorphic region (HPR), which is unique among orthomyxoviruses. The HPR has been associated with virulence, infectivity and pathogenicity. The full length of the HPR is called HPR0 and the strain with this HPR is avirulent, in contrast to strains with deleted HPR that are virulent to varying degrees. The molecular mechanism that gives rise to the different HPRs remains unclear. Here, we studied in vitro the evolution of reassortant recombinant ISAV (rISAV) in Atlantic salmon head kidney (ASK) cells. To this end, we rescued and cultivated a set of rISAV with different segment 6-HPR genotypes using a reverse genetics system and then sequencing HPR regions of the viruses. Our results show rapid multiple recombination events in ISAV, with sequence insertions and deletions in the HPR, indicating a dynamic process. Inserted sequences can be found in four segments of the ISAV genome (segments 1, 5, 6, and 8). The results suggest intra-segmental heterologous recombination, probably by class I and class II template switching, similar to the proposed segment 5 recombination mechanism.

Abstract
Tilapia lake virus (TiLV) is a highly contagious pathogen that has detrimental effects on tilapia farming. This virus was discovered in 2014 and has received tremendous global attention from the aquaculture sector due to its association with high fish mortalities and its strong economic impact on the tilapia aquaculture industry. Currently, TiLV has been reported in 16 countries, and this number is continuing to rise due to improved diagnostic assays and surveillance activities around the world. In this review, we summarize the up-to-date knowledge of TiLV with regard to TiLV host species, the clinical signs of a TiLV infection, the affected tissues, pathogenesis and potential disease risk factors. We also describe the reported information concerning the virus itself: its morphology, genetic make-up and transmission pathways. We review the current methods for virus detection and potential control measures. We close the review of the TiLV story so far, by offering a commentary on the major TiLV research gaps, why these are delaying future TiLV research and why the TiLV field needs to come together and proceed as a more collaborative scientific community if there is any hope limiting the impact of this serious virus.

Development of an Isavirus minigenome system to study the function of the pocket RNA-binding domain of the viral nucleoprotein (NP) in salmon cells. JOURNAL OF FISH DISEASES 2020; 43:197-206. [PMID: 31845350 DOI: 10.1111/jfd.13122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2019] [Revised: 10/09/2019] [Accepted: 10/11/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The Isavirus is an orthomyxovirus with a genome composed of eight segments of negative single-strand RNA (-ssRNA). It has been proposed that the eight genomic segments of the Isavirus are organized as a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex called a minigenome, which contains all the viral RNA segments, a viral heterotrimeric polymerase and multiple copies of the viral nucleoprotein (NP). Here, we develop an Isavirus minigenome system and show the importance of the formation of active RNPs and the role of viral NP R189, R194, R302 and K325 residues in the NP RNA-binding domain in the context of RNPs. The results indicate it is possible to generate a minigenome in salmon cells, a composite ISAV RNPs with EGFP-based chimeric vRNA with heterotrimeric polymerase (PB1, PB2, PA) and NP protein using CMV-based auxiliary plasmids. It was also shown that NP R189, R194, R302 and K325 residues are important to generate viral mRNA from the constituted RNPs and a detectable reporter protein. This work is the first salmon cell-based minigenome assay for the Isavirus, which was evaluated by a bioinformatic and functional study of the NP protein in viral RNPs, which showed that correct NP-vRNA interaction is key to the functioning of RNPs.

Capsid amino acids at positions 247 and 270 are involved in the virulence of betanodaviruses to European sea bass. Sci Rep 2019; 9:14068.

Abstract
European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is severely affected by nervous necrosis disease, caused by nervous necrosis virus (NNV). Two out of the four genotypes of this virus (red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus, RGNNV; and striped jack nervous necrosis virus, SJNNV) have been detected in sea bass, although showing different levels of virulence to this fish species. Thus, sea bass is highly susceptible to RGNNV, whereas outbreaks caused by SJNNV have not been reported in this fish species. The role of the capsid protein (Cp) amino acids 247 and 270 in the virulence of a RGNNV isolate to sea bass has been evaluated by the generation of recombinant RGNNV viruses harbouring SJNNV-type amino acids in the above mentioned positions (Mut247Dl965, Mut270Dl965 and Mut247 + 270Dl965). Viral in vitro and in vivo replication, virus virulence and fish immune response triggered by these viruses have been analysed. Mutated viruses replicated on E-11 cells, although showing some differences compared to the wild type virus, suggesting that the mutations can affect the viral cell recognition and entry. In vivo, fish mortality caused by mutated viruses was 75% lower, and viral replication in sea bass brain was altered compared to non-mutated virus. Regarding sea bass immune response, mutated viruses triggered a lower induction of IFN I system and inflammatory response-related genes. Furthermore, mutations caused changes in viral serological properties (especially the mutation in amino acid 270), inducing higher seroconversion and changing antigen recognition.

Abstract
Analysis of pathogen genome variation is essential for informing disease management and control measures in farmed animals. For farmed fish, the standard approach is to use PCR and Sanger sequencing to study partial regions of pathogen genomes, with second and third-generation sequencing tools yet to be widely applied. Here we demonstrate rapid and accurate sequencing of two disease-causing viruses affecting global salmonid aquaculture, salmonid alphavirus (SAV) and infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV), using third-generation nanopore sequencing on the MinION platform (Oxford Nanopore Technologies). Our approach complements PCR from infected material with MinION sequencing to recover genomic information that matches near perfectly to Sanger-verified references. We use this method to present the first SAV subtype-6 genome, which branches as the sister to all other SAV lineages in a genome-wide phylogenetic reconstruction. MinION sequencing offers an effective strategy for fast, genome-wide analysis of fish viruses, with major potential applications for diagnostics and robust investigations into the origins and spread of disease outbreaks.

Abstract
Developments in recombinant virus techniques have been crucial to understand the mechanisms of virulence acquisition and study the replication of many different negatively stranded RNA viruses. However, such technology has been lacking for infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) until recently. This was due in part to the lack of a Polymerase I promoter in Atlantic salmon to drive the production of recombinant vRNA. Therefore, the present study investigated a different alternative to produce ISAV recombinant vRNA, based on Mouse Pol I promoter/terminator sequences and expression in baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells. As a first step, a pathogenic ISAV was demonstrated to replicate and produce viable virions in BHK-21 cells. This indicated that the virus could use the mammalian cellular and nuclear machinery to produce vRNA segments and viral proteins, albeit in a limited capacity. Co-transfection of vRNA expressing plasmids with cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter constructs coding for the three viral polymerase and nucleoprotein led to the generation of functional ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) which expressed either, green fluorescence protein (GFP) or firefly luciferase (FF). Further experiments demonstrated that a 21h incubation at 37°C was optimal for RNPs production. Inhibition by ribavirin confirmed that FF expression was linked to specific RNPs polymerase transcription. The present minigenome system provides a novel and alternative approach to investigate various aspects of ISAV replication and potentially those of other negatively stranded RNA viruses. Expression of RNPs in mammalian cells could also provide a method for the rapid screening of anti-viral compounds targeting ISAV replication.

Abstract
The family Orthomyxoviridae is well known for containing influenza viruses with a segmented RNA genome that is prone to gene reassortment in mixed infections (known as antigenic shift) resulting in new virus subtypes that cause pandemics, and cumulative mutations (known as antigenic drift), resulting in new virus strains that cause epidemics. This family also contains infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) and tilapia lake virus (TiLV), which are a unique orthomyxoviruses that infect fish and is unable to replicate above room temperature (24°C). This chapter describes the comparative virology of members in the family Orthomyxoviridae in general, helping to understand the emergent teleost orthomyxoviruses, ISAV and TiLV. The most current information on virus–host interactions of the fish orthomyxoviruses, particularly ISAV, as they relate to variations in virus structure, virulence, persistence, host range and immunological aspects is presented in detail.
