Abstract

Streptococcosis of olive flounder(Paralichthys olivaceus) is an important bacterial disease in Jeju island. In this study, we investigated monthly infection pattern of this disease in different size of the flounder fish. Even though the disease occurred throughout the year, the infection ratio was relatively higher in the months with warm water season. The infection was more prevalent in adult flounder over 30 cm total length compare to these of small size fish. Two infectious species of streptococcosis pathogens were detected by multiplex PCR assay. Detection ratios of Streptococcus iniae and S. parauberis reached up to 46% and 54%, respectively, from June 2003 to May 2005 in Jeju island. S. iniae occurred intensively from September to October, whereas S. parauberis reported from March to May. S. iniae and S. parauberis infections of cultured flounder share some common features, but clinical findings showed considerable differences between two diseases. Distended abdomen, protruded anus and ascitic fluid in the peritoneal cavity are evident lesions detected in S. iniae infection, whereas, flounders infected by S. parauberis showed prominent lesions such as darkened surface and haemorrhaging in the non-ocular side. Both streptococcosis pathogens were sensitive to antibiotics, such as ampicillin and amoxicillin. However, S. iniae strains were more sensitive to doxycycline, erythromycin and oxytetracycline than S. parauberis strains.

제주지역 양식넙치의 주요 세균성 질병의 일종인 연쇄구균증 발병동향과 특성을 분석하였다. 제주지역 양식넙치의 연쇄구균증은 연중 발생하는 양상을 보였으나 상대적으로 고수온기에 발생율이 높았으며, 30cm 이상의 개체에서 주로 관찰되었다. 2003년 6월부터 2005년 5월 사이에 분리된 연쇄구균 균주를 multiplex PCR assay 기법을 이용하여 종 조성을 분리한 결과 Streptococcus iniae와 S. parauberis로 동정되었으며 그 비율은 각각 46%와 54%이었다. S. iniae는 상대적으로 9월과 10월에 높은 분리율을 나타내었으나 S. parauberissms 3월과 4월에 분리율이 높게 나타났다. S. iniae와 S. parauberis 감염개체의 병리학적 중상은 일부분 유사하였으나 S. iniae 분리개체는 복부팽만, 탈장, 복수저류증상이 주로 관찰되는 반면, S. parauberis 분리개체는 체색흑화, 무안측 발적 중상이 두드러지게 관찰되었다. 이 두 종의 병원체 모두 ampicillin과 amoxicillin에 감수성이 높았으며, S. iniae 균주들은 S. parauberis 균주들보다 상대적으로 doxycycline, erythromycin, oxytetracycline에 감수성이 높았다.
