Infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is detrimental to the farming of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and other salmonids in the Northern hemisphere. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a key role in immune response in invertebrates, as evidenced by the close correlation of MHC polymorphisms with disease resistance/susceptibility. To analyse the correlation between rainbow trout resistance and susceptibility to IHNV and genetic variation in exon 2 of MHC class Ia gene, UBA, we employed two approaches, namely, polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and cloning/sequencing. From 102 resistant and 82 susceptible individuals, a total of 12 alleles in UBA exon 2 (GenBank: JX136662?JX136673) were identified, including 11 novel alleles. The maximum number of these alleles in a single individual was four, suggesting that UBA exon 2 most likely resides on at least two loci in the genome. Most of the variations in UBA exon 2 were located in the peptide-binding region and were determined to have been subject to positive selection during evolution. Correlation analysis revealed that Onmy-UBA*0111 and Onmy-UBA*0107 are highly associated with IHNV susceptibility (P = 0.001), whereas Onmy-UBA*0101, Onmy-UBA*0102, and Onmy-UBA*0103 are highly related to IHNV resistance (P = 0.000). In addition, the three resistant alleles were predominant in the IHNV disease-resistant population; thus, these molecular markers can be used for anti-IHNV breeding of rainbow trout.
