Summary
Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus-like (ISKNV-like) virus causes a serious systemic disease with high morbidity and mortality of freshwater and marine fishes. Based on the ISKNV putative major capsid protein (MCP), the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the mRNA capping enzyme (Capping), and the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated protein (TNFR) genes, primers were designed and used in PCR to determine the host range of ISKNV-like viruses. From the sampling of >1600 marine fishes representing 6 orders, 25 families, and 86 species collected in the South China Sea, 13 cultured fish species (141 fish) and 39 wild fish species (102 fish) were confirmed hosts of ISKNV-like viruses. The average percentage of infection of ISKNV-like viruses was 14.6%. The results from phylogenetic analysis of these genes revealed that ISKNV-like viruses could be placed into two clusters: cluster I was more related to ISKNV; cluster II included OSGIV (orange-spotted grouper iridovirus) and RBIV (rock bream iridovirus), and was quite different from ISKNV. The results of this study can contribute to the prediction and prevention of ISKNV disease outbreaks.
