1 Diversity of Ostreid Herpesvirus and its Impact on Oyster Farming Kimberly S. Reece

3 Molluscan Herpes-like Virus in USA The first herpes-like virus detected in bivalves was described in the 190 s by Farley et al. 192 in Maine (USA East Coast, Crassostrea virginica) Ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV-1) found associated with mortality in C. gigas hatchery larvae in France (1992)-typically see mortality in larvae and juveniles. Same as the virus described by Farley? No other molluscan herpes-like viruses were identified in North America until the early 2000 s (OsHV), although C. gigas mortality events (larvae and juveniles) occurring in California (west coast) since The virus is found frequently in Tomales and Drakes Bays in California

4 Ostreid Herpesvirus in Tomales Bay, California Initially for these mortality events in juveniles no disease agent was identified-it was called summer mortality and attributed to stress. Summer mortality has often been reported in adults many locations associated with various stressors including reproduction. A virus (OsHV) was identified in 2002 and has since been associated with mortalities on several occasions Analysis was done on archived samples and the virus was present as early as 1995 (Friedman laboratory)

5 OsHV USA Survey ( ) PCR survey conducted by Friedman and Reece laboratories (Friedman et al. 2005) *Species tested: C. gigas, C. sikamea and C. virginica

6 OsHV in Asia (Moss et al. 200) In some area it was found in more than 20% of the oysters # individuals # OsHV Prevalence Year Location Screened pos. % 1999 Itoki River, Ariake Bay, Kyushu, Japan Yellow River, China Yamen River, Zhuhai, China Souchang River, Yangjiang, China Dafen River, Beihai, China Dafen River, Beihai, China Chengcun, China Guandu, Zhanjiang, China Guandu, Zhanjiang, China Shen Zhen, Bao An, China Shen Zhen, Bao An, China Podi, Beihai, China Dajiawa, Shandong/Tong'an Fujian, China Dajiawa, Shandong/Tong'an Fujian, China Zhanjiang, China Beihai, China Kahwa River, South Korea Sumjin River, South Korea Inchon, South Korea

7 Evidence for Latent Infections in Adults from Asian Oysters (indicates that quarantine is very important) Live C. hongkongensis* brought to the US from Beihai (southern China) in Fall 2006: Initial screening of a sub-sample = 0 % May 200 = 0 % June 200 = 3.6% August of 200 = 9.0% October 200 = 6.5% Sequence analysis indicated that all PCR fragments matched sequences that we found in other oysters directly from Asia: suggests not acquired after arrival at VIMS. *NOTE: Often confused with C. ariakensis and was imported to US east coast on several occasions as C. ariakensis

8 Horizontal Transmission to Larvae Uninfected C. ariakensis and C. hongkongensis larvae from the VIMS hatchery (Reece laboratory) and Uninfected C. gigas (Friedman laboratory) from Washington state All were exposed to homogenate from infected C. gigas from Tomales Bay, CA.

9 Larval survival curves (Similar for C. gigas, C. hongkongensis and C. ariakensis larvae exposed to infected C. gigas tissues) Percent Survival EXP EXP 2 Experiment Day Seawater Control Homogenate Control Homogenate Treatment Homogenate Control Homogenate Treatment DNA sequencing indicated that the California strain of the virus was transmitted to three species of Asian oyster larvae by exposure to infected tissue.

11 DNA Sequencing (Reece Lab-Moss et al. 200 and Reece et al. unpublished) Many Different Genetic Strains of the Virus from Different Locations (Suggested potential differences in virulence and impacts to various hosts)

12 Summary Ostreid herpesvirus in Asian samples OsHV was detected in Asian oysters at 9 of 18 sites in China, Japan and Korea. There are many different genetic strains of virus that may demonstrate differences in virulence in different hosts. Should we be concerned about transport of infected hosts to different regions? Latent infections of virus can go undetected in adult broodstock for at least 6 months, indicating the importance of strict quarantine procedures for adults. Larvae of 3 Asian oyster species were infected by exposure to infected oyster tissue

13 2008:Emergence of another (more virulent) strain: OsHV-1 µvar First identified in association with a C. gigas mortality event in France in 2008 (Segarra et al. 2010), but has been found in archived samples from 2004/2005 (Martenot et al. 2012). Associated with numerous high mortality events around the world: France, New Zealand, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, Italy.

14 Variant Sequencing (Renault et al. 2012) OsHV Japan, China, New Zealand OsHV µvar 3 different genome regions sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis based on composite sequences.

18 Selection for Resistance to Juvenile Summer Mortality (USA West coast-friedman Lab) Can survival be improved with selected stocks? Oysters that survived 2000, 2001 and/or 2003 mortality events were collected from Tomales Bay, CA and spawned at the Bodega Marine Lab. (Origin: California and Washington stocks) Joe Newman

19 Percent Mortality Mortality & seed source: WA-1 WA-2 WA-3 OR-1 OR-2 Oyster stock Suggests that improved seed survival is possible. Survivors were used to spawn for the next year (Selected breeding). Similar observations in a recent selective breeding experiment ( ).

20 French C. gigas Selected for Resistance to Summer Mortality (Dégremont et al before µvar; Dégremont 2011-after µvar) Tested 3 C. gigas lines -Resistant (R), Susceptible (S), Control (C) (Note-Control oysters derived from broodstock at field deployment site) Selection for survival occurred , presumably before µvarassociated mortality events Field deployments of juveniles (~6 months old) in late summer 2009 Mortality and levels of 3 potential pathogens measured: OsHV-1/OsHV µvar Vibrio aestuarianus Vibrio splendidus

21 Results Dégremont 2011 Rapid (11-20 days) mortality in S and C batches (94% and 53%, respectively) Low mortality in R batch (5%) OsHV detected after only 3 days Rapid increase in all batches Levels dropped in R batch OsHV, but not Vibrio spp. levels correlated with mortality

22 Summary Many different genetic strains of Ostreid herpesvirus have been identified. Relative infection risks, as well geographic and host distributions need to be better characterized. Different strains may differ in virulence to different hosts. Surveys of hosts and locations would allow more accurate assessment of risks of transfer and inform management decisions. Host transfers/introductions should follow ICES protocols with disease screenings and certifications to help prevent transfer of pathogens such as the OsHV-1, OsHV µvar and variants to new locations: Even in endemic areas strain differences could be important For example, introduction of OsHV µvar could lead to massive mortality

23 Summary OsHV-1 or herpes-like virus has been found in Mexican C. gigas (Vásquez-Yeomans et al. 2010, Cáceres-Martínez and Vásquez-Yeomans 2013, Grijalva-Chon et al. unpublished, GenBank deposit-) Sequence results indicate that the US and Mexican viruses are more similar to OsHV-1 than to OsHV µvar. Selective breeding strategies for resistance to OsHV show promise. Mortality episodes associated with Ostreid herpesviruses are often impacted by other stressors such as temperature, phytoplankton blooms and infections by other pathogens (e.g. Vibrio spp.).
