Characterisation of the genomes of four putative vesiculoviruses: tench rhabdovirus, grass carp rhabdovirus, perch rhabdovirus and eel rhabdovirus European X

Abstract

The complete coding sequences were determined for four putative vesiculoviruses isolated from fish. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis based on the predicted amino acid sequences of the five main proteins assigned tench rhabdovirus and grass carp rhabdovirus together with spring viraemia of carp and pike fry rhabdovirus to a lineage that was distinct from the mammalian vesiculoviruses. Perch rhabdovirus, eel virus European X, lake trout rhabdovirus 903/87 and sea trout virus were placed in a second lineage that was also distinct from the recognised genera in the family Rhabdoviridae. Establishment of two new rhabdovirus genera, "Perhabdovirus" and "Sprivivirus", is discussed.

Ledantevirus: A Proposed New Genus in the Rhabdoviridae has a Strong Ecological Association with Bats

“…35,36 Lyssaviruses circulate in bats, whereas novirhabdoviruses, spriviviruses, and perhabdoviruses are associated with fish. [37][38][39] There is a strong ecological association of the proposed genus Ledantevirus with infection of bats, including all proposed species in subgroup B (FKRV, KOLEV, MEBV, and OITAV) and two of the three viruses in subgroup A (KCV and LDV). There is also some suggestion that the viruses in these two subgroups are each associated with a different subgroup of microchiropteran bats.…”

Spring viraemia of carp virus: recent advances

“…Genogroup Ia contains isolates from Asia, the UK and the Americas; Ib and Ic contain isolates from Eastern Europe; and Id contains isolates from the UK and some other European countries (Stone et al, 2003;Hoffmann et al, 2005;Miller et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2009;Padhi & Verghese, 2012). The genetic clustering of SVCV isolates is closely associated with geographical location, suggesting that the virus has evolved independently in different geographical regions (Stone et al, 2013). In addition, different isolates have evolved at varied rates, with the Ia group evolving the most quickly (Padhi & Verghese, 2012).…”

Virus genomes and virus-host interactions in aquaculture animals

“…In fish rhabdoviruses of the Vesiculovirus genus, SVCV genomes, which can be classified into different clades and genogroups, have been described as possessing high levels of diversity and plasticity [121,122]. Recently, Xiao et al [123] performed recombination analysis of all known complete SVCV genomic sequences, and found evidence of homologous recombination in these genomes.…”
