Transmission,Host Range,Temperature Sensibility of Infectious Spleen and Kidney Necrosis(ISKN)Virus from Siniperca chuatsi
Abstract: The infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), derived from diseasedSiniperca chuatsi, was identified that (1 ) the virus caused ISKNV disease when challenginghealthy Siniperca chuatsi by four ways: intramuscular inoculation, intraperitoneal inoculation,wounded and bath exposure and oral inoculation; (2) the virus infected healthy Siniperca chuatsiunder 25~34℃ and the optimum temperature for infection was 28~30℃; (3 ) Microptenussalmoides was susceptibility for the virus, Oreochromis niloticus, Ctenopharyngodon idellus,Ophiocephalus argus and Lates calcarifer are not the host of ISKNV.
