Objective
The aims of the proposed study are:
- To improve and harmonize research and development of biotechnological diagnostic procedures for viral diseases in aquacultured fish.
- To investigate the genetic diversity among fish rhabdoviruses.
- To establish an international database for available diagnostic reagents related to viral diseases in aquacultured fish.
Specific objectives are:
I) To produce and characterize virus specific monoclonal antibodies for diagnostic purposes
II) To develop DNA probes and primers for hybridization and PCR assays for detection and typing of viruses
III) To generate an international database describing available reagents for diagnosis of fish viruses
IV) To perform RNase protection assays and phylogenetic analyses of the fish pathogenic rhabdoviruses VHSV, IHNV, SVCV and ELTV in order to determine the extent of diversity among the genomic variants of the respective viruses
V) To develop diagnostic kits for commercial use
Dissemination activities:
A workshop will be organized for the evaluation, and standardization of diagnostic methods in fish virus diagnostics in Euope.
Results will be published by submissions to international scientific journals and by presentations at scientific meetings.
