Complete genome sequence and analysis of ictalurid herpesvirus 2
Archives of Virology, 2018Co-Authors: Réka Borzák, Tibor Haluk, Dániel Bartha, Andor DoszpolyAbstract:Ictalurid herpesvirus 2 (IcHV-2) has been causing substantial losses in the black bullhead aquaculture industry since the 1990s. Using next-generation sequencing, the genome of IcHV-2 was completely sequenced and analysed in this study. The complete genome was found to be 142,925 bp in size, containing 77 predicted protein-coding regions, including 12 ORFs that appear to have a homologue in every alloherpesvirus genome sequenced to date. The genome organization of the IcHV-2 shows high similarity to that of IcHV-1, the founding member of the genus Ictalurivirus within the family Alloherpesviridae . A unique sequence region of 101 kbp is flanked by terminal direct repeats of 20 kbp. Thirteen of the 77 putative genes do not show homology to any known genes with sequences in public databases; six of them are found in the repeat regions. Analysis of the whole genome confirms the previously established taxonomic position of IcHV-2.

Partial genome characterization of acipenserid herpesvirus 2: taxonomical proposal for the demarcation of three subfamilies in Alloherpesviridae
Archives of Virology, 2011Co-Authors: Andor Doszpoly, Virág Somogyi, Scott E. Lapatra, Mária BenkőAbstract:Sequencing of approximately one half of the genome of acipenserid herpesvirus 2 (AciHV-2), which is a member of the genus Ictalurivirus in the family Alloherpesviridae , revealed that the gene organization is very similar to that of ictalurid herpesvirus 1 (IcHV-1), the founder member of the genus. The sequenced region encodes the AciHV-2 homologues of IcHV-1 ORF24 to ORF69. It contains 46 predicted protein-coding regions, including 12 that seem to have a homologue in every alloherpesvirus genome sequenced to date. Phylogenetic tree reconstruction, based on the concatenated sequence of these conserved genes, implied that the family Alloherpesviridae is composed of three major clades and could be subdivided into three subfamilies.

Molecular confirmation of a new herpesvirus from catfish (Ameiurus melas) by testing the performance of a novel PCR method, designed to target the DNA polymerase gene of alloherpesviruses
Archives of Virology, 2008Co-Authors: Andor Doszpoly, Scott E. Lapatra, Balázs Harrach, Endre R. Kovács, Giuseppe Bovo, Mária BenkőAbstract:A PCR method with consensus degenerate primers was developed for the detection of herpesviruses (HVs) of anamnia. Compared to previously published PCRs, targeting the DNA polymerase gene of fish HVs, the size of PCR products was more than tripled. Although broad applicability of the method could not be proven, approximately 1,600-bp fragments from HVs of white sturgeon ( Acipenser transmontanus ) and black bullhead ( Ameiurus melas ) were obtained and sequenced. Phylogenetic tree reconstructions showed both HVs to be monophyletic with the single member (ictalurid HV-1) of the genus Ictalurivirus in the new family Alloherpesviridae .

The order Herpesvirales
Archives of Virology, 2009Co-Authors: Andrew J Davison, Bernhard Ehlers, Anthony C. Minson, Richard Eberle, Philip E. Pellett, Michael J. Studdert, Gary S. Hayward, Bernard Roizman, Etienne ThiryAbstract:The taxonomy of herpesviruses has been updated by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). The former family Herpesviridae has been split into three families, which have been incorporated into the new order Herpesvirales . The revised family Herpesviridae retains the mammal, bird and reptile viruses, the new family Alloherpesviridae incorporates the fish and frog viruses, and the new family Malacoherpesviridae contains a bivalve virus. Three new genera have been created in the family Herpesviridae , namely Proboscivirus in the subfamily Betaherpesvirinae and Macavirus and Percavirus in the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae . These genera have been formed by the transfer of species from established genera and the erection of new species, and other new species have been added to some of the established genera. In addition, the names of some nonhuman primate virus species have been changed. The family Alloherpesviridae has been populated by transfer of the genus Ictalurivirus and addition of the new species Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 . The family Malacoherpesviridae incorporates the new genus Ostreavirus containing the new species Ostreid herpesvirus 1 .
