Abstract:The mirror carp breeding of generations targeted at Koi herpes virus (CyHV-3) has been carried out to F3 generation. F2 and F3 survival rates are similar and significantly higher than F1. In this study, theCyHV-3 viral loads and the gene expression of IL-1β, TRAF6, MyD88a, I-IFN and TLR7a are compared by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR technique. Immune gene expression levels and viral loads in combination with disease resistance survival rates are used to evaluate the disease resistance of different generations. The results showed that: (1) CyHV-3 virus load decreased sequentially in F1, F2 and F3, and F3 was significantly lower than F1 and F2 (P<0.05); (2) Summerlings group wasn't infected CyHV-3, only the expression of TRAF6 gene in F3 was significantly higher than that in F1 and F2 (P<0.05). (3) In the infected group, the levels of IL-1β and MyD88a in F3 spleen were significantly higher than those in F1 and F2 (P<0.05), and TRAF6 was significantly higher than that of F1 (P<0.05). The expression of IL-1β and TRAF6 in F3 kidney was significantly higher than that in F1 and F2 (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between F1 and F2 (P>0.05). The above results show that F3 disease resistance is significantly higher than F1, F2, only the TRAF6 gene was breeding. Based on the fact that F2, F3 survival rate was similar and significantly higher than F1, it can be concluded that F2 disease resistance is not stable and F3 resistance has stabilized, and that using the immune gene expression or viral load method to evaluate the disease resistance is feasible.
