Abstract: |
Mud crab dicistrovirus-1 was isolated from massive deaths of mud crab and had a strong pathogenicity.Based on the MCDV-1 genome sequences,we designed a pair of primers and obtained a 1 314 bp fragment of MCDV-1gene by RT-PCR. Consequently,probe was prepared using DIG-labeling. The sensitivity and specificity of probe wereanalyzed by dot blot hybridization method. Results showed that this probe could detect a minimum of 8.58×107 copies/μLof MCDV-1 and was specific for MCDV-1 detection,without cross-reaction with MCRV(mud crab reovirus),AbSV(abalone shriveling syndrome-associated virus),AbHV(abalpone herpesvirus),WSSV(white spot syndrome virus),TFV(tigerfrogvirus)and KHV(Koi herpesvirus). This probe was used to detect MCDV-1 in different tissues of diseasedmud crab by in situ hybridization and positive signals of MCDV-1 were mainly observed in hepatopancreas,ganglion,intestines and esophagus. |
