The etiologic agent of EIBS was reported to be piscine orthoreovirus 2 (PRV-2). We detected PRV-2 in the ovarian fluid samples of 10% of EIBS-experienced spawners (n = 30) by RT-PCR. When each of 30 individual ovarian fluid samples was inoculated into a naïve coho salmon, 37% of the blood samples from the fish tested positive for PRV-2 at 20 days post injection. These observations suggest that the ovarian fluid of EIBS-experienced fish can be contaminated with the infective viral particles of PRV-2.","PeriodicalId":51052,"journal":{"name":"Fish Pathology","volume":"57 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79258417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metacercariae were found in the lens, with the prevalence and mean intensity of infection of dace (0.5–2.4 g in body weight) reaching 100% and 39.7, respectively, in the most heavily infected fish group. Histologically, the lens became partially fragmented around the metacercariae, which occupied a considerable space, surrounded by their own excreta. Among snails sampled from outdoor ponds and waterways, cercariae with a bifurcated tail were found in the lymnaeid, Radix auricularia japonica. ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences of metacercariae from the lens of dace and cercariae from the lymnaeid were nearly identical to each other, indicating that the lymnaeid is the first and dace is the second intermediate host. However, since the obtained COI gene sequences were close but not identical to known Diplostomum spp., this species was not identified to the species level. The morphology of metacercaria was also described. This is the second reported case of worm cataract in fish caused by Diplostomum metacercariae in Japan.","PeriodicalId":51052,"journal":{"name":"Fish Pathology","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83550472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

F 1 bred between resistant Azumanishiki and Kurodemekin showed resistance in the challenge test with the causative virus (cyprinid herpesvirus 2), but F 1 had no pop-eyed character. Crosses between F 1 survivors in virus challenge produced F 2 , and about 25% of F 2 showed pop eyes. We finally obtained the resistant pop-eyed Kurodemekin of F 3 crossed between pop-eyed F 2 survivors in virus challenge. Backcrosses between F 1 survivors and Kurodemekin were also tested for the resistance in virus challenge.
