BCA - National diagnostic tests for the detection of Epizootic haematopoietic necrosis virus (EHNV) and certification of EHNV-free fish

Project number: 1992-066.80
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $4,394.73
Principal Investigator: Gerry Geen
Organisation: CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory
Project start/end date: 30 Oct 2000 - 1 Jan 2009
:

Objectives

1. Select optimum EHNV detection protocols and establish these as national tests
2. Investigate the use of inactivated antigen in antigen capture ELISAs which would facilitate the distribution of the diagnostic tests
3. Use diagnostic tests to determine the minimum sampling sizes and types of samples required for disease-free certification of commercial stocks
4. Optimise immunological tests that detect EHNV and anti-EHNV antibodies, from field animals
5. Identify tissues/organs within host organisms where the virus replicates
6. Differentiate the major strains of Australian iridoviruses
