摘要: Betanodavirus infection of fish has been responsible for mass mortalities in aquaculture hatcheries worldwide. Betanodaviruses possess a bipartite single-stranded RNA genome consisting the 3.1 kb RNA1 encoding an RNA-dependent polymerase and B2 protein, while 1.4 RNA2 encodes viral nucleocapsid alpha. A panel six monoclonal antibodies against alpha protein greasy grouper nervous necrosis virus (GGNNV) was developed use diagnostics. All reacted with native recombinant immunoblot indirect immunofluorescence assays. Each discrete regions though none extreme C-terminal region protein. One antibodies, specific K151-T246 alpha, used development antigen capture ELISA. In this assay we could detect 10(3)-10(4) TCID(50) units derived from infected tissue culture supernatants. Head extracts prepared experimentally barramundi, Lates calcarifer, juveniles were assayed GGNNV using clear increase detected 5 to 15 days post-challenge. The thus represents useful method field-based detection betanodavirus hatcheries.
