説明

<p>In the present study, two real-time PCR assays (Cummins and Kawato-1) were newly developed for the detection of broad range of Megalocytivirus (MCV) genotypes. ​The analytical sensitivity (ASe) and analytical specificity (ASp) of four real-time PCR assays, including two previously reported assays (Kawato-2 and Mohr), targeting the major capsid protein gene were compared across the four MCV genotypes including infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV), turbot reddish body iridovirus (TRBIV), and threespine stickleback iridovirus (TSIV). ​The four assays were tested using artificially synthesized plasmids containing seven different representative nucleotide sequences of the target region from the genotypes. ​The ASe and ASp for the detection of each MCV genotype differed between assays while the three assays other than Kawato-2 detected all ISKNV, RSIV, and TRBIV targets to a detection limit of approximately 2 plasmid copies per reaction. ​Diagnostic capability of each assay was validated using spontaneously RSIV-infected Japanese amberjack Seriola quinqueradiata. ​Diagnostic sensitivity in the dead fish of RSIV infection was equivalent among the four assays. ​However, in the asymptomatic fish, the detection rate of Cummins assay was higher than that of Kawato-1 assay and had equivalent sensitivity to previously reported assays. ​Thus, in addition to screening with synthesized plasmids, diagnostic capability of the assays should be tested using fish infected with the other MCV genotypes depending on target of host and the viral genotypes.</p>
