Homology of the amino acid sequence with the DNA polymerase of ostreid herpesvirus 1 was 30% (563/1856). In this study, a PCR-based procedure for detecting herpesvirus infection of abalone, Haliotis diversicolor supertexta, in Taiwan was developed. The method employed primer sets targeting the viral DNA polymerase gene, and was able to amplify DNA fragments of the expected size from infected samples. Primer sets of 40f and 146r were designed for amplification of an expected PCR product of 606 bp. Combining the new PCR protocol with histopathology, this assay can serve as a reliable diagnostic for herpesvirus infections in abalone. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
