Evaluation of Cyprinid Herpesvirus 2 Latency and Reactivation in <i>Carassius gibel</i>

Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2, species <i>Cyprinid herpesvirus 2</i>) causes severe mortality in ornamental goldfish, crucian carp (<i>Carassius auratus</i>), and gibel carp (<i>Carassius gibelio</i>). It has been shown that the genomic DNA of CyHV-2 could be det...

description Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2, species <i>Cyprinid herpesvirus 2</i>) causes severe mortality in ornamental goldfish, crucian carp (<i>Carassius auratus</i>), and gibel carp (<i>Carassius gibelio</i>). It has been shown that the genomic DNA of CyHV-2 could be detected in subclinical fish, which implied that CyHV-2 could establish persistent infection. In this study, the latency of CyHV-2 was investigated in the survival fish after primary infection. CyHV-2 genomic DNA was detected in multiple tissues of acute infection samples; however, detection of CyHV-2 DNA was significantly reduced in fish recovered from the primary infection on day 300 postinfection. No active viral gene transcription, such as DNA polymerase and <i>ORF99</i>, was detected in recovered fish. Following temperature stress, an increase of CyHV-2 DNA copy numbers and gene transcription were observed in tissues examined, which suggests that CyHV-2 was reactivated under stress. In addition, a cell line (GCBLat1) derived from the brain tissue from CyHV-2-exposed fish harbored CyHV-2 genome but did not produce infectious virions under normal culture conditions. However, CyHV-2 replication and viral gene transcription occurred when GCBLat1 cells were treated with trichostatin A (TSA) or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA). It suggests CyHV-2 can remain latent in vitro and can reactivate under stress condition.
