Teknologi RNA interference (RNAi) merupakan salah satu pendekatan yang digunakan untuk meningkatkan resistensi udang windu terhadap infeksi patogen termasuk WSSV. Pengembangan teknologi RNAi melalui aplikasi untai ganda RNA (dsRNA) yang berasal dari gen pengkode viral protein (VP) dari WSSV telah mulai dikembangkan pada udang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji sintasan dan respons imun udang windu yang diberi VP-15 pasca uji tantang dengan WSSV. Udang windu (panjang 15,21 ± 1,19 cm dan bobot 32,5 ± 1,83 g) diinjeksi dengan 0,2 µg/ekor dsRNA in vitro (A), dsRNA in vivo (B), dan larutan garam/kontrol (C). Setelah tiga hari vaksinasi, udang windu ditantang dengan WSSV dengan dosis 50 µL/ekor. Pengamatan sintasan dilakukan setiap hari, sedangkan respons imun (THC dan aktivitas proPO) dilakukan pada awal dan hari ke-1, ke-3, dan ke-5 pasca uji tantang, serta analisis ekspresi gen antivirus dan histopatologi hepatopankreas dilakukan pada akhir penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi dsRNA berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap sintasan, THC, dan proPO. Sintasan udang windu yang diberi dsRNA VP-15 in vitro dan in vivo memberikan sintasan yang lebih tinggi 75% dibandingkan dengan kontrol. Nilai proPO tertinggi didapatkan pada dsRNA in vivo (0,138); kemudian dsRNA in vitro (0,093); dan terendah kontrol (0,061); sedangkan THC tertinggi (5.704 x 104 sel/mL) pada dsRNA in vivo, kemudian dsRNA in vitro (3.516 x 104 sel/mL) dan terendah pada perlakuan kontrol (3.322 x 104 sel/mL). Ekspresi gen antivirus semakin meningkat dengan semakin lamanya udang windu terpapar dengan WSSV. Jaringan hepatopankreas udang windu pada perlakuan kontrol (tanpa dsRNA) menunjukkan adanya kerusakan sel akibat infeksi virus.RNA interference (RNAi) technology is one of the approaches used to improve tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon resistance against WSSV infection. The development of RNAi technology through double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) isolated from gene encoding viral protein (VP) of WSSV has been applied to shrimp. This study was aimed to assess the survival rate and immune response of injected-VP-15 WSSV tiger shrimp after a challenge with WSSV. The tiger shrimp (15.21 ± 1.19 cm in length and 32.5 ± 1.83 g in weight) were injected with 0.02 µg/shrimp of in vitro dsRNA (A), in vivo dsRNA (b) and saline solution (C). After three days of vaccination, the tiger shrimp were challenged with WSSV using a dosage of 50 µL/shrimp. The survival rate was observed daily. Analyses of immune responses (hemocyte total and PO activity) were performed in several stages: before the challenge test and day-1, day-3, and day-5 post-challenge test. The expression of the antivirus gene and hepatopancreas histophatology were was observed at the end of the experiment. The results showed that the application of dsRNA significantly influenced the shrimp survival rate, THC, and proPO. Tiger shrimp injected with dsRNA VP-15 of in vitro and in vivo exhibited a higher 75% survival rate than the control (P<0.05). The highest proPO activity (0.138) was obtained at dsRNA in vivo, followed by dsRNA in vitro (0.093) and the lowest (0.061) in the control. The highest THC (5,704 x 104 cell/mL) was in vivo dsRNA, then in vitro dsRNA (3,516 x 104 cell/mL), and the lowest in the control (3,322 x 104 cell/mL). The longer the exposure with WSSV, the higher the antivirus gene expression. Histopathology analysis showed some damages to the hepatopancreas cells in the control shrimp (without dsRNA) caused by the virus infection.

HighlightsEleutherine americana was a plant that was known to contain antibacterial alkaloids, steroids, phenolics, and flavonoidsEleutherine  americana extract was able to inhibit the development of V. harveyi both through in vitro and in vivo tests on tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon).The use of vibriosis antibiotics in tiger shrimp was often not controlled so the results obtained were not effective AbstractThe use of vibriosis antibiotics in tiger shrimp was often not controlled, so the results obtained were not effective. The addition of antibiotics would cause resistance to V. harveyi. Eleutherine americana is a plant that is known to contain antibacterial alkaloids, steroids, phenols, and flavonoids. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of inhibitory effects of E. americana extract against V. harveyi through in-vitro and in-vivo tests on tiger shrimp larvae. In-vitro testing consisted of 7 treatments and 3 replications, namely treatments A (0.1%), B (0.2%), C (0.3%), D (0.4%), E (0, 5%), F ethanol 70% (K-), and G chloramphenicol 0.01% (K +) treatment. The largest inhibition zone diameter of E. americana extract was shown in treatment C (0.3%), with an average value of the inhibition zone produced of 7.5 mm. Challenge test with V. harveyi concentration of 107 CFU / ml in the in-vivo test consisted of 5 treatments and four replications namely; A treatment without E. americana extract, B extract 6 ppm, C extract 12 ppm, D extract 18 ppm, and treatment E without extract and V. harveyi. The results of the challenge test with V. harveyi bacteria were significantly different in control (chloramphenicol 0.01%), where the highest survival rate was in the treatment of 12 ppm extract (43.34%). E. americana extract could inhibit the development of V. harveyi bacteria both through in-vitro and in-vivo tests on tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon).

<p>Three probiotics named SKT-b, 1Ub, and Ua had inhibitory activity against the growth of <em>Vibrio harveyi</em>. These strains were mutated by rifampicin resistant. The inhibitory effect of SKT-b,1Ub, and Ua on the growth of <em>V. harveyi</em> was investigated by concomitant incubation of the two bacteria in a culture shrimp larvae. Colony forming unit of <em>V. harveyi</em>, probiotic and total of bacteria in dead, live larvae and water culture was monitored, and survival rate of larvae was investigated. Shrimp inoculated probiotic previously had survival rate higher than control (without probiotic). Number of <em>V. harveyi </em>in treatment without probiotic inoculation also higher compared to treatment with probiotic inoculation in dead, live larvae and water culture.  It demonstrated possible inhibition of probiotic bacteria on <em>V. harveyi</em> through competition for adherence sites or nutrition source. Partial sequencing of 16S-rRNA gene showed that 1Ub was similar to <em>Pseudoalteromonas piscicida</em>, whereas SKT-b and Ua were similar to <em>Vibrio alginolyticus</em>.</p> <p>Keywords: probiotic bacteria, inhibitory mechanism, <em>V. harveyi</em>, tiger shrimp</p> <p> </p> <p>ABSTRAK</p> <p>Tiga isolat bakteri probiotik yaitu 1Ub, SKT-b dan Ua telah diuji memiliki aktivitas penghambatan terhadap pertumbuhan<em> V. harveyi </em>secara <em>in vitro</em>.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh bakteri probiotik yang mampu menghambat pertumbuhan Vibrio harveyi mengggunakan metode kultur bersama. Sebanyak 51 isolat kandidat probiotik berhasil diisolasi dari larva udang dan lingkungan pemeliharaannya di Balai Pengembangan Benih Ikan Air Payau dan Udang (BPBILAPU), Pangandaran serta hatcheri udang PT Biru Laut Khatulistiwa dan tambak udang intensif di Lampung. Dari total isolat tersebut setelah diseleksi secara in vitro menggunakan metode kultur bersama dipilih 3 isolat kandidat probiotik yang paling potensial dalam menekan atau menghambat pertumbuhan V. harveyi MR 5399 RfR yakni 1Ub, P20Bf, dan 10a. Ketiga isolat tersebut selanjutnya digunakan pada uji patogenisitas dan uji tantang pada larva udang windu. Hasil uji patogenisitas dengan konsentrasi bakteri 106 CFU/mL menunjukkan bahwa ketiga isolat tersebut tidak bersifat patogen pada larva udang windu. Hasil uji tantang pada larva udang juga menunjukkan bahwa ketiga isolat tersebut mampu meningkatkan sintasan larva udang windu. Nilai sintasan larva pada perlakuan yang selain diinfeksi dengan V. harveyi MR5399 RfR juga ditambah probiotik 1Ub, P20Bf, dan 10a masing-masing adalah 90,0%; 86,7%; dan 78,3% sedangkan pada perlakuan yang hanya diinfeksi dengan V. harveyi MR5399 RfR tanpa probiotik nilai sintasannya hanya mencapai 73,3%. Populasi bakteri V. harveyi pada perlakuan dengan penambahan bakteri probiotik lebih rendah dibanding perlakuan tanpa probiotik, hal ini menunjukkan kemungkinan adanya kompetisi antara bakteri V. harveyi dengan 1Ub.This research was aimed to obtain probiotic bacteria that can be used to inhibit the growth of Vibrio harveyi using co-culture method. This method succeeded in isolating 51 probiotic bacteria candidates from shrimp larva and their rearing environment in Balai Pengembangan Benih Ikan Laut Payau dan Udang (BPBILAPU), Pangandaran and shrimp hatchery of PT Biru Laut Khatulistiwa and intensively managed shrimp pond in Lampung. After in vitro selection of the total isolates using co-culture method, three most potential probiotic bacteria candidates in inhibiting or suppressing growth of V. harveyi MR 5399 RfR bacteria were chosen. The three isolates were then used in pathogenicity and challenge test in tiger shrimp larva. Results of pathogenicity test at the concentration of 106 CFU/mL bacteria showed that the three isolates were not pathogen to tiger shrimp larvae. Challenge test results in shrimp larvae also showed that the three isolates could increase survival rates of tiger shrimp larva. Larva survival rate value of treatment using V. harveyi MR5399 RfR with 1Ub, P20Bf, dan 10a probiotic were 90.0%, 86.7% dan 78.3%, respectively; whereas infection treatment merely using V. harveyi MR5399 RfR without probiotic only gave 73.3% survival rate. V. harveyi population in treatment with addition of probiotic bacteria were lower than that of without probiotic. This suggested the existence of possible competition between V. harveyi and 1Ub bacteria.

Luminescent Vibrio harveyi is common in sea and estuarine waters. It produces several virulence factors and negatively affects larval penaeid shrimp in hatcheries, resulting in severe economic losses to shrimp aquaculture. Although V. harveyi is an important pathogen of shrimp, its pathogenicity mechanisms have yet to be completely elucidated. In the present study, isolates of V. harveyi were isolated and characterized from diseased Penaeus monodon postlarvae from hatcheries in Kerala, India, from September to December 2016. All 23 tested isolates were positive for lipase, phospholipase, caseinase, gelatinase and chitinase activity, and 3 of the isolates (MFB32, MFB71 and MFB68) showed potential for significant biofilm formation. Based on the presence of virulence genes, the isolates of V. harveyi were grouped into 6 genotypes, predominated by vhpA+ flaB+ ser+ vhh1- luxR+ vopD- vcrD+ vscN-. One isolate from each genotype was randomly selected for in vivo virulence experiments, and the LD50 ranged from 1.7 ± 0.5 × 103 to 4.1 ± 0.1 × 105 CFU ml-1. The expression of genes during the infection in postlarvae was high in 2 of the isolates (MFB12 and MFB32), consistent with the result of the challenge test. However, in MFB19, even though all genes tested were present, their expression level was very low and likely contributed to its lack of virulence. Because of the significant variation in gene expression, the presence of virulence genes alone cannot be used as a marker for pathogenicity of V. harveyi.

Aim: The present study investigated hemocytes profile of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) induced with Xylocarpus granatum leaves extract to protect against Vibrio harveyi infection. Materials and Methods: X. granatum leaves were chopped into small size, air-dried, and extracted with one of the following solvents: Ethanol, distilled water, and seawater, whereas each solvent was given in three different concentrations (750 ppm, 1.000 ppm, and 1.250 ppm, respectively). Extracts were induced to 60 post-larvae shrimp in each treatment (three replicates, 20 shrimp for each) by immersing method and subsequently challenged with V. harveyi. Results: This study demonstrated different effectiveness among solvents used to extract X. granatum leaves, in which distilled water showed the most effective solvent as can be seen from the lowest percentage on anorexia, lethargic, and weakened reflex of shrimp compared with another solvent, positive and negative controls. Pathological symptoms for shrimp induced by X. granatum leaves extract were minimum with the highest survival rate compared with those of positive and negative control. Total hemocyte cells and its cell constituents such as semi-granular, granular, and hyaline cells on treatment group at 1.250 ppm were higher than controls. Conclusion: Leaves extract of X. granatum extract effectively inhibited V. harveyi infection, increased survival rate, and hemocytes cell of the experimental shrimp. Distilled water extract of X. granatum at 1.250 ppm demonstrated the highest protective effect toward V. harveyi infection on P. monodon.
