Journal ArticleDOI
A Herpesvirus Associated with Mass Mortality of Juvenile and Adult Koi, a Strain of Common Carp
Ronald P. Hedrick,Oren Gilad,Susan Yun,J. V. Spangenberg,Gary D. Marty,R. W. Nordhausen,M. J. Kebus,Herve Bercovier,Avi Eldar +8 more
TL;DR: It is strongly suspect that this newly recognized koi herpesvirus (KHV) has the potential to be a significant cause of mortality among koi and presumably common carp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome sequences of three koi herpesvirus isolates representing the expanding distribution of an emerging disease threatening koi and common carp worldwide
Takashi Aoki,Ikuo Hirono,Ken Kurokawa,Hideo Fukuda,Ronen Nahary,Avi Eldar,Andrew J. Davison,Thomas B. Waltzek,Herve Bercovier,Ronald P. Hedrick +9 more
TL;DR: The conclusion that at least some of these mutations occurred in vivo prompts the hypothesis that loss of gene functions might be associated with emergence of the disease and provides a basis for further investigations into the molecular epidemiology of the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a Novel RNA Virus Lethal to Tilapia
Marina Eyngor,Rachel Zamostiano,Japhette Esther Kembou Tsofack,Asaf Berkowitz,Hillel Bercovier,Simon Tinman,Menachem Lev,Avshalom Hurvitz,Marco Galeotti,Eran Bacharach,Avi Eldar +10 more
TL;DR: The cohabitation of healthy and diseased fish demonstrated that the disease is contagious and that mortalities occur within a few days, suggesting the mounting of a protective immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial characteristics of koi herpesvirus and development of a polymerase chain reaction assay to detect the virus in koi, Cyprinus carpio koi
Oren Gilad,Susan Yun,Karl B. Andree,Mark A. Adkison,Amir Zlotkin,Herve Bercovier,Avi Eldar,Ronald P. Hedrick +7 more
TL;DR: Initial characteristics of the virus show that it is clearly different from Herpesvirus cyprini (CHV), the most commonly known herpesvirus from cyprinid fish, and the genomic DNA restriction fragments clearly distinguish KHV from CHV and CCV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a Novel Orthomyxo-like Virus Causing Mass Die-Offs of Tilapia
Eran Bacharach,Nischay Mishra,Thomas Briese,Michael C. Zody,Japhette Esther Kembou Tsofack,Rachel Zamostiano,Asaf Berkowitz,James Ng,Adam Nitido,André Corvelo,Nora C. Toussaint,Sandra Cathrine Abel Nielsen,Mady Hornig,Jorge Del Pozo,Toby Bloom,Hugh W. Ferguson,Avi Eldar,W. Ian Lipkin +17 more
TL;DR: Characterization of the causative agent as a novel orthomyxo-like virus, tilapia lake virus (TiLV), and complete genomic and protein sequences that will facilitate TiLV detection and containment and enable vaccine development are reported.
