RT Conference Proceedings T1 Susceptibility of juvenile european sea bass (dicentrarchus labrax) to different viral nervousnecrosis virus (VNNV) isolates A1 López-Jimena, Benjamín A1 García-Rosado, Esther A1 Souto-Pereira, Sandra A1 Infante, Carlos A1 Borrego-García, Juan José A1 Alonso-Sánchez, María del Carmen K1 Virología - Investigación AB In this study, the susceptibility of 5-g juvenile European sea basswas evaluated by intramuscular injection (105 TCID50/g) using isolates belongingto the RGNNV and SJNNV genotypes as well as a reassortant isolate (RGNNVRNA1/SJNNV RNA2) obtained from Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis).In these experimental infections, the cumulative mortality was determined.Furthermore, quantification of viral genome, by absolute real time PCR, andinfective viral particles, by virus titration, was performed from brains of dead andsurvivor fish (30 days post-inoculation). In addition, anti-VNNV antibodies insera from survivor animals were determined by indirect ELISA. Typicalsymptoms of VNN and mortality were only recorded in fish inoculated with theRGNNV (47% cumulative mortality) and the reassortant (33%) isolates.However, high levels of viral genome and infective viral particles were recordedin brain of survivor fish inoculated with the SJNNV isolate, although did notcause mortality or clinical signs. Specific antibody response, measured by indirectELISA, was only observed in the VNNV-inoculated groups, with titres of 1/1024,1/4096 and 1/8192 for RGNNV, SJNNV and reassortant inoculated animals,respectively.
