Abstract
Temperature dependency of viral diseases in ectotherms has been an important scientific issue for decades, while the molecular mechanism behind this phenomenon remains largely mysterious. In this study, deploying infection with grass carp reovirus (GCRV), a double-stranded RNA aquareovirus, as a model system, we demonstrated that the cross talk between HSP70 and outer capsid protein VP7 of GCRV determines temperature-dependent viral entry. Multitranscriptomic analysis identified HSP70 as a key player in the temperature-dependent pathogenesis of GCRV infection. Further biochemical, small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown, pharmacological inhibition, and microscopic approaches revealed that the primary plasma membrane-anchored HSP70 interacts with VP7 to facilitate viral entry during the early phase of GCRV infection. Moreover, VP7 functions as a key coordinator protein to interact with multiple housekeeping proteins and regulate receptor gene expression, concomitantly facilitating viral entry. This work illuminates a previously unidentified immune evasion mechanism by which an aquatic virus hijacks heat shock response-related proteins to enhance viral entry, pinpointing targeted preventives and therapeutics for aquatic viral diseases. IMPORTANCE The seasonality of viral diseases in ectotherms is a prevailing phenomenon in the aquatic environment, which causes huge economic losses every year worldwide and hinders sustainable development of the aquaculture industry. Nevertheless, our understanding of the molecular mechanism of how temperature determines the pathogenesis of aquatic viruses remains largely unexplored. In this study, by deploying grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infection as a model system, we demonstrated that temperature-dependent, primarily membrane-localized HSP70 interacts with major outer capsid protein VP7 of GCRV to bridge the virus-host interaction, reshape the host's behaviors, and concomitantly facilitate viral entry. Our work unveils a central role of HSP70 in the temperature-dependent pathogenesis of aquatic viruses and provides a theoretical basis for the formulation of prevention and control strategies for aquatic viral diseases.

Abstract
In order to understand the immune response of largemouth bass against Micropterus salmoides Rhabdovirus (MSRV), assisting disease resistance breeding, three largemouth bass breeding varieties Micropterus salmoides “Youlu No 3” (U3), “Youlu No 1” (U1) and “Zhelu No 1” (P1) were challenged intraperitoneally with MSRV. Serum and tissues were sampled to study the changes in non-specific immune parameters, viral loads, and transcript levels of immune-related genes, and the cumulative mortality rate was recorded daily for 14 days. The results showed that the cumulative mortality rates in the U1, P1, and U3 groups were 6.66% ± 2.89%, 3.33% ± 2.89%, and 0, respectively. The higher mortality may attribute to the increased viral loads after infection in the liver (2.79 × 105 and 2.38 × 105 vs. 1.3 × 104 copies/mg), spleen (2.14 × 105 and 9.40 × 104 vs. 4.21 × 103 copies/mg), and kidney (3.59 × 104 and 8.40 × 103 vs. 2.42 × 103 copies/mg) in the U1 and P1 groups compared to the U3 group. The serum non-specific immune parameters (lysozyme, catalase, and acid phosphatase) were found to be increased significantly in the U3 group. In addition, the transcripts of interferon-related genes (IFN-γ, IRF3, and IRF7) and pro-inflammatory-related genes (TNF-α and IL-1β) exhibited up-regulation and peaked at 6 h post infection in the U3 group, which also exhibited up-regulation but peaked at 12–24 h post infection in the U1 and P1 groups. In conclusion, these findings indicate that earlier activation of interferon and pro-inflammatory response is beneficial to largemouth bass against MSRV infection. This experiment may provide an insight into understanding the immune mechanism of largemouth bass against MSRV infection and contributes to molecular-assisted selection.

Abstract
Micropterus Salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV), as a common aquatic animal virus, can cause lethal and epidemic diseases in the cultivation of largemouth bass. In this study, we reported a kind of immersion single-walled carbon nanotubes-loaded subunit vaccine which composited by glycoprotein (G) of MSRV, and evaluated its protective effect on largemouth bass. The results showed that a stronger immune response including serum antibody levels, enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and total antioxidant capacity), complement C3 content and immune-related genes (IgM, TGF-β, IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α, CD4) expression can be induced obviously with single-walled carbon nanotubes-glycoprotein (SWCNTs-G) groups compared with G groups when largemouth bass were vaccinated. After bath immunization with G or SWCNTs-G for 28 days, fish were challenged with a lethal dose of MSRV. The survival rates for control group (PBS), SWCNTs group (40 mg L-1), pure G protein groups (40 mg L-1) and three SWCNTs-G groups (5 mg L-1, 10 mg L-1 and 40 mg L-1) were 0%, 0%, 39.5%, 36.7%, 43.6%and 70.1%, respectively. Importantly, with the assistance of SWCNTs, the immune protective rate of the SWCNTs-G group (40 mg L-1) increased by approximately 30.6%. This study suggested that SWCNTs-G is a promising immersion subunit vaccine candidate against the death caused by MSRV.

Abstract
Marbled eel reovirus (MERV) is an aquareovirus (AQRV) isolated from diseased marbled eels (Anguilla marmorata) with petechial skin hemorrhage. In this study, we propagated MERV in a cell line derived from the brain of Aequidens rivulatus and purified viral particles by using a discontinuous cesium chloride gradient. Genomic RNA sequences were obtained through next-generation sequencing. MERV, similar to most other AQRVs, showed the presence of 11 double-stranded RNA segments encoding 12 proteins; however, the genome sequence displayed very little similarity to known AQRV sequences. Furthermore, the structural proteins of MERV were most closely related to American grass carp reovirus with sequence identity values of no more than 64.89%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the sequences of structural proteins indicated that MERV shows an evolutionary history between AQRV-B and -G, which belong to the saline and freshwater environment subgroups, respectively. We also observed that MERV showed a closer relationship to orthoreoviruses based on the protein sequences of NS38 and NS73. In summary, MERV is a novel AQRV that could be classified as a member of the new proposed AQRV species "Aquareovirus H". The taxonomic assignments and evolution of AQRVs thus warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Viruses are important and lethal pathogens that hamper aquatic animals. The result of the battle between host and virus would determine the occurrence of diseases. The host will fight against virus infection with various responses such as innate immunity, adaptive immunity, apoptosis, and so on. On the other hand, the virus also develops numerous strategies such as immune evasion to antagonize host antiviral responses. Here, We review the research advances on virus mediated immune evasions to host responses containing interferon response, NF-κB signaling, apoptosis, and adaptive response, which are executed by viral genes, proteins, and miRNAs from different aquatic animal viruses including Alloherpesviridae, Iridoviridae, Nimaviridae, Birnaviridae, Reoviridae, and Rhabdoviridae. Thus, it will facilitate the understanding of aquatic animal virus mediated immune evasion and potentially benefit the development of novel antiviral applications.

Abstract
Reoviruses are non-enveloped viruses with wide host range, can cause serious infections in animals, plants and microorganism, e.g., aquareovirus, which is capable of causing serious haemorrhagic in aquatic animals. To date, the entry process of aquareovirus infection remains obscure. Real-time single-virus tracking are effective tools for exploring the details in viral infection process, which are crucial for understanding the pathogenic mechanism. Here, we used quantum dots-based single particle tracking technology combined with biochemical assays and ultrastructural observation to reveal unobservable infection steps and map dynamic interactions between a reovirus, Scophthalmus maximus reovirus (SMReV), and its host cell in real time. The results showed that the single membrane-bound reovirus particle can enter into the cell within several seconds through nascent clathrin-caoted pits, and most of the particles could internalize into cytoplasm within 30 min post-infection. The specific inhibitors analysis also showed that entry of SMREV depended on clathrin-mediated endocytosis rather than cavolin-mediated endocytosis. The motion analysis of internalized single particle indicated that the reovirus initially experienced slow and directed motion in the actin-enriched cell periphery, while it underwent relatively faster and directed movement toward the cell interior, suggesting that transport of SMReV was dependent on the cytoskeleton. Further, dual-labeling of virus and cytoskeleton and inhibitor analysis both demonstrated that transport of internalized SMReV was firstly dependent on actin filaments at the cell periphery, and then on microtubules toward the cell interior. Then visualization of SMReV trafficking in the endosomes revealed that the internalized reovirus particles were sorted from early endosomes to late endosomes, then part of them were delivered to lysosome. This study for the first time revealed the entry pathway, intracellular dynamic and the infection fate of fish reovirus in host cell in real time and in situ, which provided new insights into the infection mechanism of non-enveloped viruses.

Abstract
The fountain darter Etheostoma fonticola (FOD) is a federally endangered fish listed under the US Endangered Species Act. Here, we identified and characterized a novel aquareovirus isolated from wild fountain darters inhabiting the San Marcos River. This virus was propagated in Chinook salmon embryo (CHSE)-214, rainbow trout gonad-2 and fathead minnow cells at 15°C. The epithelioma papulosum cyprini cell line was refractory at all temperatures evaluated. High throughput sequencing technologies facilitated the complete genome sequencing of this virus utilizing ribosomal RNA-depleted RNA extracted from infected CHSE-214 cells. Conventional PCR primer sets were developed for the detection and confirmation of this virus to assist diagnostic screening methods. Phylogenetic analysis suggests this virus belongs to the Aquareovirus A genus. This research provides requisite initial data critical to support hatchery and refugia biosecurity measures for this endangered species.

Abstract
Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) rhabdovirus (MSRV) was isolated from infected juveniles of largemouth bass, and the infected fish exhibited corkscrew, irregular swimming, and crooked body. To our knowledge, the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of MSRV infection remain largely unknown. In the current study, we found that MSRV infection in largemouth bass skin (LBS) cells induced typical apoptosis, evidenced by the presence of apoptotic bodies and caspase-3 activation. To further analyze the host factors involved in MSRV infection in LBS cells, the transcriptomic profiles during MSRV infection were uncovered using deep RNA sequencing technique, and several differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were validated by quantitative PCR. Our results showed that a total of 124483 unigenes were assembled. Among them, 34465 and 27273 had significant hits to those in the NR and SwissProt databases. After MSRV infection, a total of 2432 and 2480 genes which involved in multiples pathways including TNF signaling, NF-κB signaling, Toll-like receptor signaling and RIG-I signaling pathway were differentially expressed in MSRV infected LBS cells compared to mock-infected cells at 12 h, respectively. Furthermore, quantitative PCR showed that the expression levels of 9 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to apoptosis and interferon signaling pathway was consistent with that from transcriptomic profiles. Together, our results not only demonstrated that interferon signaling pathway and apoptosis pathway might exerted crucial roles during MSRV infection, but also provided a useful resource for subsequent investigation of other immune-related genes related to virus infection.

Abstract
Background Salmon are paramount to the economy, ecology, and history of the Pacific Northwest. Viruses constitute one of the major threats to salmon health and well-being, with more than twenty known virus species that infect salmon. Here, we describe the isolation and characterization of the fall Chinook aquareovirus, a divergent member of the species Aquareovirus B within the family Reoviridae. Methods The virus was first found in 2014 as part of a routine adult broodstock screening program in which kidney and spleen tissue samples from healthy-appearing, adult fall Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) returning to a hatchery in Washington State produced cytopathic effects when inoculated onto a Chinook salmon embryo cell line (CHSE-214). The virus was not able to be confirmed by an RT-PCR assay using existing aquareovirus pan-species primers, and instead was identified by metagenomic next-generation sequencing. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing was used to recover the full genome and completed using 3′ RACE. Results The genome of the fall Chinook aquareovirus contains 11 segments of double-stranded RNA totaling 23.3 kb, with each segment flanked by the canonical sequence termini found in the aquareoviruses. Sequence comparisons and a phylogenetic analysis revealed a nucleotide identity of 63.2% in the VP7 gene with the Green River Chinook virus, placing the new isolate in the species Aquareovirus B. A qRT-PCR assay was developed targeting the VP2, which showed rapid growth of the isolate during the initial 5 days in culture using CHSE-214 cells. Conclusions This sequence represents the first complete genome of an Aquareovirus B species. Future studies will be required to understand the potential pathogenicity and epidemiology of the fall Chinook aquareovirus.

Abstract
Hepcidins are small cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides that play an important role in host immunity against pathogenic organisms. In this study, two hepcidins, SA-hepcidin1 and SA-hepcidin2, were cloned from spotted scat (Scatophagus argus), and the tissue distributions of SA-hepcidins were determined. In addition, mature SA-hepcidin peptides were synthesized to allow evaluation of their antimicrobial and antiviral functions in vitro. SA-hepcidin1 belongs to the HAMP1 class and is widely expressed in all tested tissues from spotted scat, whereas SA-hepcidin2 belongs to the HAMP2 class and present only in the liver. The synthetic SA-hepcidins had similar levels of antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; however, the antibacterial activity of SA-hepcidin1 was stronger than that of SA-hepcidin2. The antiviral activities of the synthetic SA-hepcidins were assessed against Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) and largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides reovirus (MsReV) in epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) and grass carp fin (GCF) cells. SA-hepcidin2 had antiviral activity, but SA-hepcidin1 did not. The results of this study suggest that SA-hepcidins are important multifunctional proteins in the spotted scat immune system that are involved in resistance to various pathogens.
