Hematology of common carp following DNA vaccination and koi herpesvirus challenge test
Abstract
The study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of DNA vaccine doses on hematological aspect which represent immune response and its influence on common carp survival rate. DNA vaccines encoding the viral glycoprotein of koi herpesvirus (KHV) have been proved to highly protect the fish under laboratory condition. A dose of 12.5 µg/100 µl vaccine had resulted in a survival rate of 96.67 % during 30 days after challenge test with a lethal dose of KHV. Fish vaccinated using lower doses, i.e. 2.5 and 7.5 µg/100µl showed 100% mortality after 15 and 19 days challenge test respectively, whereas non vaccinated fish as a control showed 100% mortality after 17 days challenge test. Total leucocytes of the vaccinated fish were higher than control until 42 days post vaccination, but declined afterward. Phagocytic index of the vaccinated fish using 12.5 µg/100 µl was declined after 49 days post vaccination or 7 days post challenge test.

ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh vaksinasi menggunakan vaksin DNA dengan dosis berbeda terhadap gambaran darah ikan sebagai respresentasi tanggap kebal ikan mas serta pengaruhnya terhadap tingkat kelangsungan hidup ikan mas. Vaksin DNA penyandi glikoprotein koi herpesvirus (KHV) dapat memberikan proteksi yang tinggi pada percobaan skala laboratorium. Vaksinasi dengan dosis 12,5 µg/100µl dapat mempertahankan kelangsungan hidup sebesar 96,67% selama satu bulan setelah uji tantang dengan virus KHV menggunakan dosis letal. Ikan yang divaksin dengan dosis yang lebih rendah yaitu 2,5 dan 7,5 µg/100µl mengalami kematian total berturut-turut setelah 15 dan 19 hari uji tantang, sedangkan ikan kontrol yang tidak divaksin mengalami kematian total setelah 17 hari uji tantang. Jumlah leukosit total ikan yang divaksinasi lebih tinggi dibanding dengan kontrol sampai hari ke-42, setelah itu mengalami penurunan. Indeks fagositosis ikan yang divaksin dengan dosis 12,5 µg/100µl mengalami penurunan setelah hari ke-49 atau 7 hari setelah uji tantang.
