Abstract

A virus isolated from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella Val.) multiplied in cells from cyprinids and salmonids at a temperature between 4 and 28°C. The isolate was inactivated at pH 2 and pH 12 and by lipid solvents. Heat treatment (56°C, 120 min.) reduced infectivity. Electron microscopy revealed bullet shaped particles with a size of 70 × 120 (±10) nm.Neutralization tests showed that the isolate is not related to Rhabdovirus carpio (causing SVC) and to the 10/3 strain (associated with aerocystitis in carp). The virus was not pathogenic to common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Animal experiments with grass carp were not uniform in their results.

Zusammenfassung

Vom Grasfisch (Ctenopharyngodon idella Val.) wurde ein Virus isoliert. Das in Cypriniden- und Salmoniden-Zellkulturen bei 4 bis 28°C vermehrte Isolat erwies sich als sensitiv gegenüber pH 2, pH 12, Wärme (56°C, 120 Min.) und Chloroform. Elektronenoptisch wurden geschoßförmige Viruspartikel mit einer Größe von 70×120 (±10) nm ermittelt. Zwischen dem Isolat und Rhabdovirus carpio sowie dem 10/3 Virus-Stamm konnte keine serologische Verwandtschaft nachgewiesen werden. Das Isolat erwies sich als nicht pathogen für Karpfen (Cyprinus carpio L.). Infektionsversuche mit Grasfischen erbrachten unterschiedliche Resultate.
