남우화,박재린,표지혜,김정호 한국어병학회 2021 한국어병학회지 Vol.34 No.1

We experienced mortality of dark-banded rockfish (Sebastes inermis) maintained in the rearing facility located in Gangneung, after transportation. Moribund fish showed various symptoms such as exophthalmia, skin ulcers, tail rots, gill rots, discoloration of liver with petechiae, yellowish fluid in intestines and ascites. Two different colonies were dominantly appeared after spreading the lesions on the agar plates and incubation. One isolate (SI_1) showed swarming movement on TSA, and formed yellow colonies on TCBS agar. The other (SI_2) showed no swarming motility and green colonies on TCBS agar. Both of them were Gram-negative. All of these results are similar with those of Genus Vibrio. They were identified as V. harveyi and V. gigantis by PCR with subsequent sequencing of 3 different genes (16 rDNA, recA, rpoA). V. harveyi is well-known as a serious pathogen of marine fish and invertebrates, while V. gigantis is known to be often isolated from marine invertebrates, but the pathogenicity is still unknown. We suspect V. harveyi as the cause of the mortality of dark-banded rockfish, but challenge experiments with these 2 Vibrio species are thought to be necessary to make a clear conclusion.

Multilocus sequence analysis of the genus Aliivibrio: Identification and phylogeny of Aliivibrio species isolated from cultured walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) in Korea

남우화,서현준,장수림,김미리,김정호 한국어병학회 2019 한국어병학회지 Vol.32 No.2

We performed MLSA (multilocus sequence analysis) and phenotypic characterization of Aliivibrio species isolated from walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) maintained in 3 different facilities of Gangwon Province, the east coast of Korea. Of 38 Aliivibrio species identified by 16S rDNA sequences, 12 strains were randomly selected and MLSA was conducted with 5 house-keeping genes (gapA, gyrB, pyrH, recA and rpoA) and 16S rDNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis and homology of the concatenated sequences (4,580 bp) with other Vibrionaceae genera revealed that 4 strains (GNGc16.1, YYGc16.1, YYGc16.2, GSGc18.1) were identified as Aliivibrio logei and one strain (GSGc16.1) as A. wodanis. One strain (GSGc17.1) was tentatively identified as A. logei, but needs further analysis because it did not belong to the same clade with A. logei type strain. 6 strains (GSGc17.2, GNGc16.2, GSGc16.2, GSGc17.3, GSGc18.2, GSGc17.4) need further investigation as potential novel species. Either phenotypic characterization or 16S rDNA sequence alone did not provide enough information for identification of Aliivibrio strains at the species level. A. logei and A. wodanis are generally known as non-pathogenic bacteria, but also known as opportunistic or secondary pathogens of cold water fishes. Cares should be taken to prevent potential outbreaks due to these bacteria, although there was no outbreaks during the sampling period.

2016년 2월에서 9월까지 강원도 고성, 양양, 강릉에서 각각 양성 중인 명태를 샘플링하여 RT-PCR법으로 바이러스(viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, VHSV; nervous necrosis virus, NNV; marine birnavirus, MABV)의 검출을 시도하였다. 비장시료를 대상으로 한 one-step PCR에서 VHSV, NNV, MABV 모두 검출되지 않았으며, 뇌시료에서 NNV가 1.8%(1/55)의 검출률을 나타내었다. Two-step PCR에서는 VHSV가 51.6%(32/62 set), NNV가 1.6%(1/62 set)의 비장시료에서 검출되었으며 MABV는 검출되지 않았다. 뇌시료에서는 NNV가 3.6%(2/55)의 검출률을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 양식산 명태에서 처음으로 VHSV와 NNV가 검출되었다. 그러나 거의 모든 양성개체에서 two-step PCR법으로 해당 바이러스의 유전자가 검출되었으며, 모니터링 기간 동안 바이러스 감염이 의심되는 외관증상을 보이는 개체 및 폐사 개체는 발견되지 않아 바이러스의 역가는 매우 낮을 것으로 생각된다. 차후 지속적인 모니터링 및 세포주를 사용한 바이러스의 분리, 병원성의 확인, PCR 양성개체의 캐리어 가능성 확인 등이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. This study was conducted to monitor the prevalence of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), nervous necrosis virus (NNV) and marine birnavirus (MABV) in cultured walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus by RT-PCR. All of the viruses tested were not detected by one-step PCR in 62 spleen sample sets, except for NNV in one brain sample set (1/55). By two-step PCR, VHSV was detected in 51.6%(32/62) and NNV was detected in 1.6%(1/62) spleen sample set, but MABV was not detected. In the brain sample sets, the detection rate of NNV was 3.6%(2/55). VHSV and NNV were detected for the first time in cultured walleye pollock in this study. However, the titers of viruses in these sample sets are thought to be very low, because most of the positive sample sets were detected by two-step PCR and none of the fish showed any clinical symptoms of each virus. Continuous monitoring, subsequent virus isolation and validation of carrier fish will be necessary.

남우화 ( U-hwa Nam ),이종혁 ( Jong-hyuk Lee ),김미리 ( Mi-ri Kim ),장수림 ( Su-rim Jang ),윤도현 ( Do-hyun Yoon ),서주영 ( Joo-young Seo ),권오남 ( O-nam Kwon ),김정호 ( Jeong-ho Kim ) 한국어병학회 2018 한국어병학회지 Vol.31 No.1

2017년 1월에서 4월까지 강원도 고성에서 사육중인 명태 친어로부터 수정란을 채집하여 신경괴사증바이러스(nervous necrosis virus, NNV)의 검출을 시도하였다. 매 회 50 mg씩 수정란을 채집하여 이를 1 set로 간주하였으며 총 37 set를 제작하였다. RNA를 추출하고 cDNA를 합성하여 NNV를 대상으로 reverse transcriptase PCR을 실시하였다. 그 결과, one-step PCR법으로는 37 set의 시료가 모두 음성이었으며, two-step PCR법으로는 5.4% (2/37)의 시료가 양성을 나타내었다. 그러나, band의 농도가 매우 낮아 시퀀싱은 불가능하였다. 본 연구의 결과 및 이전 연구의 결과로부터 현재 국내에서 양식하고 있는 명태에서 NNV 감염에 의한 폐사는 발생하지 않는 것으로 추정된다. 하지만, 지속적인 모니터링 및 양성 개체 출현 시 바이러스 분리의 시도 등은 필요할 것으로 생각된다. We previously monitored nervous necrosis virus (NNV) in brain samples of artificially produced walleye Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) seedlings, with a low prevalence (1.8%, 1/55) but no clinical symptoms. Given that this virus is considered one of the most serious viral threats for almost all marine aquaculture fish species and characterized by both vertical and horizontal transmission, it would be interesting to monitor NNV in the fertilized eggs as well. We collected fertilized walleye pollock eggs from the farms located in Goseong during January to March, 2017. Approximately 50 mg of eggs were periodically taken from 4 each different batches, and 37 different pooled sample sets in total were made during sampling period. RNA was extracted from the eggs by using Trizol and cDNA was synthesized for RT-PCR for detecting NNV. Primers and PCR conditions are the same as previously described. As a result, NNV was not detected from any of the sample sets by one step PCR (0%, 0/37), suggesting NNV may not be a threat in walleye pollock aquaculture in Korea at present time. However, continuous monitoring for NNV should be conducted because introducing a new species into aquaculture industry involves potentials of disease outbreak and NNV is already known to cause outbreaks in gadoid fishes.

Trichodina hokkaidoensis (Ciliophora: Peritrichia) isolated from olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in Korea

조한슬,남우화,김정호 한국어병학회 2022 한국어병학회지 Vol.35 No.2

We described Trichodina hokkaidoensis Mizuno, Matsuda, Nishikawa and Ito, 2022 from olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus by morphological observation and molecular analysis. Morphological parameters of our specimen from 4 different sampling sites (Gangneung, Jeju, Wando, Taean) mostly coincided with those of T. hokkaidoensis. Some morphometric parameters of this trichodinid showed some inconsistency, depending on the sampling locations, but all of their partial small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences (1,182 bp) showed 100% homology with T. hokkaidoensis, originally described from artificially reared juvenile barfin flounder Verasper moseri from Japan. T. hokkaidoensis is known to cause epidermal damages to the host fish. However, there was no considerable pathological lesions in the olive flounder harboring T. hokkaidoensis in this study. The pathogenicity of T. hokkaidoensis against olive flounder needs to be investigated.

Genetic identification of anisakid nematodes isolated from largehead hairtail (Trichiurus japonicus) in Korea

김정호,남우화,전찬혁 한국수산과학회 2016 Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Vol.19 No.3

Background: The nematode species belonging to genus Anisakis occur at their third larval stage in numerous marine teleost fish species worldwide and known to cause accidental human infection through the ingestion of raw or undercooked fish or squids. They may also draw the attention of consumers because of the visual impact of both alive and dead worms. Therefore, the information on their geographical distribution and clear species identification is important for epidemiological survey and further prevention of human infection. Results: For identification of anisakid nematodes species isolated from largehead hairtail (Trichiurus japonicus), polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of internal transcribed spacers of ribosomal DNA were conducted. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2 gene was also sequenced, and phylogenetic analysis was conducted. From the largehead hairtail (n = 9), 1259 nematodes were isolated in total. Most of the nematodes were found encapsulated throughout the viscera (56.2 %, 708/1259) or moving freely in the body cavity (41.5 %, 523/1259), and only 0.3 % (4/1259) was found in the muscles. By PCR-RFLP, three different nematode species were identified. Anisakis pegreffii was the most dominantly found (98. 7 %, 1243/1259) from the largehead hairtail, occupying 98.7 % (699/708) of the nematodes in the mesenteries and 98.1 % (513/523) in the body cavity. Hybrid genotype (Anisakis simplex × A. pegreffii) occupied 0.5 %, and Hysterothylacium sp. occupied 0.2 % of the nematodes isolated in this study. Conclusions: The largehead hairtail may not significantly contribute accidental human infection of anisakid nematode third stage larvae because most of the nematodes were found from the viscera or body cavity, which are not consumed raw. But, a high prevalence of anisakid nematode larvae in the largehead hairtail is still in concern because they may raise food safety problems to consumers. Immediate evisceration or freezing of fish after catch will be necessary before consumption.

국내 자연산 명태(Gadus chalcogrammus) 집단의 바이러스 모니터링

서현준,남우화,김정호,Seo, Hyun-Joon,Nam, U-Hwa,Kim, Jeong-Ho 한국어병학회 2018 한국어병학회지 Vol.31 No.2

Wild walleye pollock were caught from Goseong, The East Sea of Korea and examined for the existence of several fish pathogenic viruses; viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), nervous necrosis virus (NNV) and marine birnavirus (MABV). We collected 1,253 wild walleye pollock in total during February 2015 and August 2018. 324 spleen sample sets and 259 brain sample sets were made, and examined for the existence of the viruses mentioned above by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). None of the target viruses were detected by one-step PCR. When some of these samples were further examined by two-step PCR, 19.7% (36/183) of spleen sample sets were positive for VHSV, and 4.4% (8/183) of spleen sample sets and 1.2% (3/259) of brain sample sets were positive for NNV. The target sequences of these viruses were clustered with those previously reported in Korea (Genotype IVa of VHSV, RGNNV genotype of NNV) by phylogenetic analysis. The activity of these viruses are not clear because virus isolation was not attempted, but probably very low because all the positive samples were detected by two-step PCR. 2015년 2월부터 2018년 8월까지 총 1,253 마리의 자연산 명태 (Gadus chalcogrammus)를 강원도 고성 아야진항 근해에서 정치망을 사용하여 포획한 후, 바이러스 (viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, VHSV; nervous necrosis virus, NNV; marine birnavirus, MABV) 모니터링을 RT-PCR법으로 수행하였다. One-step PCR법으로 비장시료 및 뇌시료에서는 대상 바이러스가 모두 검출되지 않았으며, 일부 시료를 two-step PCR법으로 검사한 결과 VHSV는 19.7% (36/183)의 비장시료에서 검출되었다. 또한, NNV는 4.4% (8/183)의 비장시료, 1.2% (3/259)의 뇌시료에서 검출되었다. 검출된 바이러스의 계통분석 결과, 기존의 국내에서 분리되는 바이러스의 유전형에 각각 속하는 것으로 나타났다 (Genotype IVa, RGNNV genotype). 바이러스의 분리를 시도하지 않아 검출된 바이러스의 활성은 알 수 없지만, 모든 양성 시료가 two-step PCR법으로 검출되었으므로 매우 낮을 것으로 추측된다.

명태(Theragra chalcogramma) 종묘에서 분리된 Vibrio anguillarum의 생화학적, 분자생물학적 특성

전찬혁 ( Chan Hyeok Jeon ),남우화 ( U Hwa Nam ),김정호 ( Jeong Ho Kim ) 한국수산과학회(구 한국수산학회) 2016 한국수산과학회지 Vol.49 No.3

The health of Alaska pollock Theragra chalcogramma seedlings was monitored during February and April 2015. After microscopic examination for parasites, 20 samples sets were made by pooling 50 individuals for each sample set. Then, they were homogenized and examined for viral and bacterial pathogens. No parasites or viruses were detected using either microscopy or PCR. Colonies suspected of belonging to the genus Vibrio were isolated from Tryptic Soya Agar and Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salts Sucrose Agar plate incubations, and identified as Vibrio anguillarum based on biochemical and physiological examinations and PCR amplification of the 16S rDNA, recA, and pyrH genes. Although there was no mortality during the sampling period, 65.0% (13/20) of the pooled samples were PCR-positive for V. anguillarum. To prevent possible outbreaks, the pathogenic potential of V. anguillarum should be investigated in the future.

코끼리조개(Panopea japonica)에서 분리되는 비브리오속 세균의 동정

서현준 ( Hyun-joon Seo ),남우화 ( U-hwa Nam ),김정호 ( Jeong-ho Kim ) 한국어병학회 2020 한국어병학회지 Vol.33 No.2

코끼리조개 성패 및 유생으로부터 잠재적 병원성 세균 분리 및 동정을 수행하였다. 분리된 균주는 분자생물학적 기법 및 생화학적 검사를 통해 동정하였으며, 명확한 동정 및 계통수 분석을 위해 16S rDNA와 하우스키핑 유전자 (pyrH, recA, rpoA)를 결합하여 분석하는 MLSA를 적용하였다. 총 141개의 균주가 분리되었으며, 건강한 성패에서는 10개, 수포 병변을 보이는 빈사 상태의 성패에서 52개, 유생에서 79개가 분리되었다. 이 중 빈사상태의 성패에서 46개, 유생에서 39개의 균주가 Vibrio 속 세균으로 동정되었으며, 나머지 균주들은 모두 일반해양세균으로 동정되었다. Vibrio 속 세균 중에서는 수포 병변을 보이는 성패에서 Vibrio splendidus가 가장 많이 분리되었으며 기존의 V. splendidus와 함께 동일한 클러스터를 형성하였다. 하지만, 인위감염실험을 실시하지 않았고 건강한 유생에서도 V. splendidus가 분리되어 성패에서 나타난 수포와 V. splendidus와의 관계는 확실하지 않으며, 차후 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. We attempted to isolate and identify potentially pathogenic bacteria from geoduck clam (Panopea japonica) larvae, juvenile and adult, focusing on Vibrios. The isolates were identified by molecular approach and biochemical characterization. In particular, we applied MLSA (multilocus sequence analysis) to the isolated Vibrios for clear identification and phylogenetic relationships, by combining 16s rDNA and several houskeeping genes (pyrH, recA, rpoA). We obtained 141 isolates; 10 from healthy adults, 52 from moribund adults with blisters and 79 from larvae. 46 from the moribund adults and 39 from the larvae were identified as Vibrio species, while the rest of these samples and all the isolates from healthy adult were identified as marine general bacteria. Among Vibrio species, Vibrio splendidus was the most frequently identified from the moribund adults and clustered with the known V. splendidus in GenBank by MLSA. However, it was still unclear that V. splendidus was the cause of blisters because the artificial infection experiment was not conducted and V. splendidus was isolated also from the larvae. Further studies are necessary to clarify the etiological agent of the blisters found in geoduck clam in this study.
