Hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) infects the hepatopancreas in penaeid shrimp and retards their growth. The DNA sequence of HPV from Thai shrimp Penaeus monodon (HPVmon) differs from HPV of Penaeus chinensis (HPVchin) by approximately 30%. In spite of this difference, commercial PCR primers (DiagXotics) developed from HPVchin to yield a 350 bp PCR product do give a 732 bp product with HPVmon DNA template. On the other hand, the sensitivity of HPVmon detection with these primers and with hybridization probes designed for HPVchin is significantly lower than it is with HPVchin. To improve sensitivity for HPVmon detection, we used the sequence of the 732 bp HPVmon PCR amplicon described above to develop specific PCR primers (H441F and H441R) and hybridization probe. The primers could detect as little as 1 fg of purified HPVmon DNA while the 441 bp digoxygenin-labeled PCR product gave strong, specific reactions with in situ hybridization and with hybridization blots. In contrast, negative results were obtained using DNA from all other pathogens tested and from DNA of P. monodon. Supernatant solution from boiled, fresh shrimp fecal and postlarval samples homogenized in 0.025% NaOH/0.0125% SDS could be used to detect as little as 0.1 pg HPVmon DNA by the PCR reaction. By dot blot hybridization, a visible signal was obtained with purified HPVmon DNA at 0.01 pg, but detection in spiked feces and postlarval samples was only 1 and 0.1 pg, respectively.

D005243 Feces Excrement from the INTESTINES, containing unabsorbed solids, waste products, secretions, and BACTERIA of the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.
D005784 Gene Amplification A selective increase in the number of copies of a gene coding for a specific protein without a proportional increase in other genes. It occurs naturally via the excision of a copy of the repeating sequence from the chromosome and its extrachromosomal replication in a plasmid, or via the production of an RNA transcript of the entire repeating sequence of ribosomal RNA followed by the reverse transcription of the molecule to produce an additional copy of the original DNA sequence. Laboratory techniques have been introduced for inducing disproportional replication by unequal crossing over, uptake of DNA from lysed cells, or generation of extrachromosomal sequences from rolling circle replication. Amplification, Gene
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.
