PG - 4661-7 AB - A DNA vaccine encoding the envelope glycoprotein from a fish rhabdovirus, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), has previously been shown to induce both early and long time protection against the virus in rainbow trout. Challenge experiments have revealed that the immunity established shortly after vaccination is cross-protective against heterologous fish rhabdoviruses. In this study, we show that the DNA vaccine encoding the VHSV glycoprotein also induces early protection against a non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus belonging to the Nodavirus family, the Atlantic halibut nodavirus (AHNV). In a vaccine efficacy test using juvenile turbot as model fish, the fish injected with the VHSV vaccine were completely protected against a nodavirus challenge performed 8 days post vaccination, while the cumulative mortality in the control group reached 54%. A DNA vaccine carrying the gene encoding the capsid protein of AHNV revealed no protective properties against the nodavirus challenge. Histological examination of muscle tissue sections from the vaccine injection site showed that the DNA vaccine against VHSV triggered a pronounced inflammatory response in turbot similar to what has earlier been observed in rainbow trout.
