| Herpes-like viral infections have been reported in different bivalve mollusc species throughout the world. High mortalities among hatchery-reared larvae and juveniles of different bivalve species have been associated often with such infections. The diagnosis of herpes-like viruses in bivalve molluscs has been performed traditionally by light and transmission electron microscopy. The genome sequencing of one of these viruses, oyster herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1), allowed the development of DNA-based diagnostic techniques. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used for the detection of OsHV-1 DNA in bivalve molluscs at different development stages. In addition, the PCR used for detection of OsHV-1 has also allowed the amplification of DNA from an OsHV-1... |

| OsHV-1 was the first herpesvirus to be identified in an invertebrate host and is associated to mortalities in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and other economically important bivalve species. Infections due to OsHV-1 are frequently reported and cause high mortality rates in larvae and spat of C. gigas. Detection of this pathogen is usually performed by PCR and/or in situ hybridization. This presentation will focus on the development of a new molecular diagnostic tool for OsHV-1 (and OsHV-1 variant 1) detection: the mini-array. This detection system, which allows multiple pathogens detection, combines viral DNA amplification by PCR and a specific hybridisation on a nylon membrane, revealed by a colorimetric reaction (DNA chip). Multiplex PCR involves... |

| Ostreid herpes virus 1 (OsHV-1) infections, notably reported in Europe and the USA, are closely associated with significant mortalities of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, especially during its early stages of life. In summer 2006, we monitored mortality by strict daily verification of three full-sib families of oysters reared under common conditions. We quantified OsHV-1 using real-time PCR in dead and living individuals during and after a mortality event. Mortality events were severe and brief, but significantly different between tested families (cumulative mortality ranging from 1.2 to 49%). Real-time PCR assays revealed different viral DNA loads in dead individuals from different families (P < 0.001). Moreover, the mean level of infection... |

| Herpes and herpes-like virus infections have been reported in various marine mollusc species associated with high mortality rates. Following the characterisation and genome sequencing of ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1), specific diagnostic tools have been developed based on conventional PCR techniques or in situ hybridisation. We have now developed a real-time PCR assay for rapid, sensitive and quantitative detection of OsHV-1, and compared it with a conventional PCR technique described previously. The new assay utilised SYBR® Green chemistry with specific primers C9/C10 targeting the C region, which is present in two copies in the OsHV-1 genome and encodes two proteins of unknown function. The assay was applied successfully to rapid diagnosis (100 minutes)... |
