ABSTRACT: Hyperpigmented melanistic skin lesions (HPMLs) of smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu are observed in the Potomac and Susquehanna rivers, Chesapeake Bay watershed, USA. Routine, nonlethal population surveys were conducted at 8 sites on the mainstem Susquehanna River and 9 on the Juniata River, a tributary of the Susquehanna River, between 2012 and 2018, and the prevalence of HPMLs was documented. A total of 4078 smallmouth bass were collected from the mainstem Susquehanna River and 6478 from the Juniata River. Lesions were primarily seen in bass greater than 200 mm, and prevalence in the Susquehanna River (8%) was higher (p < 0.001) than in the Juniata River (2%). As part of ongoing fish health monitoring projects, smallmouth bass were collected at additional sites, primarily tributaries of the Susquehanna (n = 758) and Potomac (n = 545) rivers between 2013 and 2018. Prevalence in the Susquehanna River (13%) was higher (p < 0.001) than the Potomac (3%). Microscopically, HPMLs were characterized by an increased number of melanocytes in the epidermis or within the dermis and epidermis. RNAseq analyses of normal and melanistic skin identified 3 unique sequences in HPMLs. Two were unidentified and the third was a viral helicase (E1). Transcript abundance in 16 normal skin samples and 16 HPMLs showed upregulation of genes associated with melanogenesis and cell proliferation in HPMLs. The E1 transcript was detected in 12 of the 16 melanistic areas but in no samples from normal skin. Further research will be necessary to identify the putative new virus and determine its role in melanocyte proliferation.

来自切萨皮克湾流域的小嘴鲈Micropterus dolomieu的色素沉着的黑色素皮肤病变。

摘要:小口Micropterus dolomieu的色素沉着的黑色素皮肤病变(HPML)在美国切萨皮克湾流域的波托马克河和萨斯奎汉纳河中观察到。2012年至2018年之间,在萨斯奎哈纳河干流的主干河萨斯奎哈纳河上的8个站点和萨尼亚汉河的支流Juniata河上的9个站点进行了常规的非致命性人口调查,并记录了HPML的流行情况。从萨斯奎哈纳河干流中收集了4078小口鲈,从朱尼亚塔河中采集了6478。病变主要见于大于200 mm的鲈鱼,萨斯奎哈纳河(8%)的患病率(p <0.001)比朱尼亚塔河(2%)高。作为正在进行的鱼类健康监测项目的一部分,2013年至2018年间,在其他地点收集了小嘴鲈,主要是萨斯奎哈纳河(n = 758)和波托马克河(n = 545)的支流。萨斯奎哈纳河的患病率(13%)为更高(p < 0.001)比波托马克(3%)。在显微镜下,HPML的特征是表皮中或真皮和表皮中黑色素细胞的数量增加。正常和黑色素皮肤的RNAseq分析确定了HPML中的3个独特序列。两名身份不明,第三名是病毒解旋酶(E1)。16个正常皮肤样本和16个HPML中的转录本丰度表明,与HPML中黑色素生成和细胞增殖相关的基因上调。在16个黑色区域中的12个区域中检测到E1转录本,但在正常皮肤中没有样本。为了确定推定的新病毒并确定其在黑素细胞增殖中的作用,有必要进行进一步的研究。正常和黑色素皮肤的RNAseq分析确定了HPML中的3个独特序列。两名身份不明,第三名是病毒解旋酶(E1)。16个正常皮肤样本和16个HPML中的转录本丰度表明,与HPML中黑色素生成和细胞增殖相关的基因上调。在16个黑色区域中的12个区域中检测到E1转录本,但在正常皮肤中没有样本。为了确定推定的新病毒并确定其在黑素细胞增殖中的作用,有必要进行进一步的研究。正常和黑色素皮肤的RNAseq分析确定了HPML中的3个独特序列。两名身份不明,第三名是病毒解旋酶(E1)。16个正常皮肤样本和16个HPML中的转录本丰度表明,与HPML中黑色素生成和细胞增殖相关的基因上调。在16个黑色区域中的12个区域中检测到E1转录本,但在正常皮肤中没有样本。为了确定推定的新病毒并确定其在黑素细胞增殖中的作用,有必要进行进一步的研究。在16个黑色区域中的12个区域中检测到E1转录本,但在正常皮肤中没有样本。为了确定推定的新病毒并确定其在黑素细胞增殖中的作用,有必要进行进一步的研究。在16个黑色区域中的12个区域中检测到E1转录本,但在正常皮肤中没有样本。为了确定推定的新病毒并确定其在黑素细胞增殖中的作用,有必要进行进一步的研究。
