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
Concentrations of a Koi herpesvirus (KHV) in tissues of experimentally infected Cyprinus carpio koi as assessed by real-time TaqMan PCR.
Oren Gilad,Susan Yun,Francisco J. Zagmutt-Vergara,Christian M. Leutenegger,Herve Bercovier,Ronald P. Hedrick +5 more
TL;DR: Although there were no recognized patterns to viral DNA concentrations as found in different tissues over time, KHV genome copies for all tissues increased with time post virus exposure and with water temperature.
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
Mycobacteria possess a surprisingly small number of ribosomal RNA genes in relation to the size of their genome.
TL;DR: In this paper, DNAs from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. phlei and M. smegmatis were digested by restriction enzymes and hybridized with three probes consisting of the 5' (16S rRNA), the middle (16 s and 23S rRNB), and the 3' (23S and 5S r RNB) portions of the Escherichia coli rrnB operon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular comparison of isolates of an emerging fish pathogen, koi herpesvirus, and the effect of water temperature on mortality of experimentally infected koi.
Oren Gilad,Susan Yun,Mark A. Adkison,Keith Way,Neil H. Willits,Herve Bercovier,Ronald P. Hedrick +6 more
TL;DR: A comparison of virion polypeptides and genomic restriction fragments of seven geographically diverse isolates of KHV indicated that with one exception they represented a homogeneous group.
