Mechanistic investigation into the differences in growth performance and resistance to spring viremia of carp virus in common carp.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is a highly infectious pathogen threatening common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Hence, implementing protective measures is crucial to safeguard aquatic species and minimize economic impacts, including pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and breeding of resistant varieties. Common carp is a major aquaculture species, with breeding programs primarily focused on enhancing growth performance. However, evidence indicates that accelerated growth may compromise disease resistance, suggesting a trade-off between these traits.

Methods

We challenged two carp populations with contrasting growth rates using SVCV and performed integrated multi-omics analyses.

Results

Survival analysis showed that fast-growing carp had significantly lower s
