Abstract
Serial passage of viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus at gradually increasing temperature selected for a variant virus that replicates at 25 degrees C and has a low pathogenicity for rainbow trout. Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus-specific polypeptide synthesis was examined in epithelioma papulosum cyprini cells infected with either a wild-type strain or a thermoresistant variant. The wild-type N and M1 proteins were synthesized throughout the course of infection, whereas L, G, and M2 were more actively translated later in the replication cycle. The wild-type strain was more cytotoxic at 25 than at 14 degrees C despite the fact that no translation could be evidenced when the temperature was raised. When epithelioma papulosum cyprini cells were infected with the variant virus, the kinetic study was obstructed since protein synthesis was difficult to observe by the pulse method at a low multiplicity of infection and aborted when the multiplicity of infection was raised. The variant was less cytotoxic at 25 degrees C than wild-type virus.
