Unveiling the structural properties and induced resistance activity in rice of Chitin/Chitosan-Glucan Complex of Rhizoctonia solani AG1 IA inner cell wall.

Phytopathogen cell wall polysaccharides have important physiological functions. In this study, we isolated and characterized the alkali-insoluble residue on the inner layers of the Rhizoctonia solani AG1 IA cell wall (RsCW-AIR). Through chemical composition and structural analysis, RsCW-AIR was mainly identified as a complex of chitin/chitosan and glucan (ChCsGC), with glucose and glucosamine were present in a molar ratio of 2.

Screening and identification of cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) ORF55-interacting proteins by phage display.

Background: Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is a pathogenic fish virus belonging to family Alloherpesviridae. The CyHV-2 gene encoding thymidine kinase (TK) is an important virulence-associated factor. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the biological function of open reading frame 55 (ORF55) in viral replication.

Complete Genome and Molecular Characterization of a New Cyprinid Herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) SH-01 Strain Isolated from Cultured Crucian Carp.

Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is a causative factor of herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis (HVHN) in farmed crucian carp () and goldfish (). In this study, we analyzed the genomic characteristics of a new strain, CyHV-2 SH-01, isolated during outbreaks in crucian carp at a local fish farm near Shanghai, China. CyHV-2 SH-01 exhibited a high sensitivity to goldfish and crucian carp in our previous research.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibits replication of white spot syndrome virus in the freshwater crayfish Procambarus clarkii.

The freshwater crayfish Procambarus clarkii is native to North America and Mexico, and it was introduced to China in 1929. The production and consumption of P. clarkii in China are the highest worldwide, reaching 208.

Susceptibility of Goldfish to Cyprinid Herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) SH01 Isolated from Cultured Crucian Carp.

Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2), a member of the Alloherpesviridae family belonging to the genus , is a fatal contagious aquatic pathogen that affects goldfish () and crucian carp (). Although crucian carp and goldfish belong to the genus , it is unclear whether they are susceptible to the same CyHV-2 isolate. In addition, the origin of the crucian carp-derived CyHV-2 virus isolate remains unclear.

A real-time reverse-transcription isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification assay for the rapid detection of genotype III grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) reovirus.

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) hemorrhagic disease, which is characterized by external and internal hemorrhage, is a serious infectious disease affecting grass carp production. Strains of the causative agent, grass carp reovirus (GCRV), are divided into genotypes I, II and III, which are represented by the isolates GCRV-873, GCRV-HZ08 and GCRV-104, respectively. In this study, a real-time reverse-transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (real-time RT-RPA) assay was developed to detect the genotype III grass carp reovirus GCRV-104.
