The study introduced a RV-infected zebrafish model, successfully establishing a model highly consistent with clinical infection in infants, and identified the potential of the model for antiviral drug assessment.
Rotavirus (RV) is one of the main pathogens that induce infantile diarrhea and by now no effective drugs are available for RV-induced infantile diarrhea. Thus the development of novel models is of vital importance for the pathological research of RV-induced infantile diarrhea, as well as the progress of the associated treatment strategy. Here we introduced for the first time that RV-Wa strain and RV-SA-11 strain could infect 5 dpf(day post fertilization) and 28 dpf larvae, to induce infantile diarrhea model that was highly consistent with the clinical infection of infants. RV infection significantly changed the signs, survival rate and inflammation of larvae. Some important indicators, including the levels of RV antigen VP4 and VP6, the in vivo RV tracking, and the RV particles were also analyzed, which collectively demonstrated that the model was successfully established. More importantly, we also determined the potentials of the proposed RV-infected zebrafish model for antiviral drug assessment. In conclusion, we established a RV-infected zebrafish model with formulated relevant indicators both larvae and adult fish, which might be served as a high throughput platform for antiviral drug screening.
