Summary
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is a pathogen infecting
primarily salmonid hosts and is endemic to the Pacific Northwest. Numerous IHNV
isolations and IHN outbreaks have occurred since the early 1900's. We have
characterized the midG sequence, a 303 nucleotide region in the middle of the
glycoprotein (G) gene, of over 900 IHNV isolates through its ... endemic range.
Genetic sequencing and phylogenetic analysis divided the isolates into three
genogroups; U, M, and L. Generally, the genetic relatedness of the IHNV
isolates correlates spatially with the site of isolation. The genogroup,
spatial locale, temporal reference, and additional host traits associated with
the viruses have been used to discern IHNV traffic patterns both on a broad
scale (e.g. watersheds) and in discreet areas (e.g. hatchery outbreaks). In an
effort to organize and disseminate the genetic, physical, and biological (GP
Bio.) information for all the analyzed IHNV isolates we have catalogued them
into a user-friendly searchable database that will be web-enabled and
geo-referenced.

Purpose:

Each virus isolates biological profile data is divided into five fields:
general information, host information, geographic information, sequence
results, and biological results. The user can search for selected isolates with
the same criteria (i.e. sockeye with the identical midG sequence type) and then
also sort the selected isolates with other parameters (i.e. year of isolation
and geographic region, etc.) It is our intent that database become a repository
for data on future IHNV isolates with their corresponding profiles that can be
utilized by other researchers, fish managers, and diagnosticians to facilitate
decisions regarding fish management (e.g. stock transfers, stock isolation,
disease quarantines, etc.).

Quality
One of the strengths of the database will be the search parameters
offered. A user can search for a matching IHNV nucleotide sequence and request
spatial outputs simultaneously.

We employed a technician to review the database records by
exporting all the fields into an Excel spreadsheet and comparing the exported
data for any outliers. In addition, we ... utilized the FileMaker Pro search
feature to query the database for known genetic sequences and biological
attributes to determine if the data was entered correctly.

If multiple samples were taken during a disease outbreak and the
diagnostic analyses indicated that the virus samples had the identical genetic
sequences, we concluded that only one virus strain was responsible for the
particular outbreak. Consequently, only one record was entered for that site at
that time.

Access Constraints
The data will be available to other researchers when the database is made
available online. Some of the geographical locations (i.e. Where the virus was
isolated) for political sensitive regions may be "fuzzy" for the web-enabled
database.

Use Constraints
Although these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at
the Northwest Alliance for Computational Science and Engineering, no warranty
expressed or implied is made regarding the accuracy or utility of the data on
any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of
distribution constitute any such warranty. This disclaimer ... applies both to
individual use of the data and aggregate use with other data. It is strongly
recommended that these data are directly acquired from a Northwest Alliance for
Computational Science and Engineering server, and not indirectly through other
sources which may have changed the data in some way. It is also strongly
recommended that careful attention be paid to the contents of the metadata file
associated with these data. The Northwest Alliance for Computational Science
