The possibility of vertical transmission of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) was studied with the eggs of masu (cherry) salmon Oncorhynchus masou and chum salmon O. keta. The surfaces of eggs and sperm were contaminated with IHNV (10^3.8-10^4.8 50% tissue culture infective dose [TCID50]/egg) and then the eggs were fertilized. Eggs just after fertilization and embryonated eggs also were infected by injection with IHNV (10^3.8 TCID50/egg) directly into the yolk. During incubation, eggs were held in running water at 10℃. Mortality of the eggs or hatched progeny was determined and isolation of IHNV on the surface or inside of the eggs was determined during the incubation period. No mortality occurred and no virus was detected in fertile eggs from contaminated gametes. For injected eggs, IHNV was not detected on the surface of masu and chum salmon eggs after 1 d of incubation. Infectivity of IHNV inside the eggs decreased gradually and could not be detected after 1 month of incubation. This rate of IHNV reduction in the fertilized egg was similar to that found in a mixture of IHNV and homogenized yolk contents. Several individual yolk components also showed anti-IHNV activity. When eyed eggs were injected with IHNV, the embryos of both masu and chum salmon became infected, and the concentration of virus increased rapidly and reached more than 10^6.5 TCID50/fish. The cumulative mortality of eggs injected at the eyed stage for both masu and chum salmon was 90%. The susceptibilities of hatched-out larvae of masu and chum salmon to IHNV were different; cumulative mortality was more than 90% in masu salmon and 20-30% in chum salmon artificially infected with the virus. We concluded that vertical transmission of IHNV is doubtful because the virus is apparently unable to survive in eggs before the eyed stage.
