    Chantier qualité GAHealth control is a major issue in animal breeding and a better knowledge of the genetic bases of resistance to diseases is needed in farm animals including fish. The detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) will help uncovering the genetic architecture of important traits and understanding the mechanisms involved in resistance to pathogens. We report here the detection of QTL for resistance to Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia Virus (VHSV), a major threat for European aquaculture industry. Two induced mitogynogenetic doubled haploid F2 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) families were used. These families combined the genome of susceptible and resistant F0 breeders and contained only fully homozygous individuals. For phenotyping, fish survival after an immersion challenge with the virus was recorded, as well as in vitro virus replication on fin explants. A bidirectional selective genotyping strategy identified seven QTL associated to survival. One of those QTL was significant at the genome-wide level and largely explained both survival and viral replication in fin explants in the different families of the design (up to 65% and 49% of phenotypic variance explained respectively). These results evidence the key role of innate defence in resistance to the virus and pave the way for the identification of the gene(s) responsible for resistance. The identification of a major QTL also opens appealing perspectives for selective breeding of fish with improved resistance

    Cinq ammoniums quaternaires disponibles sur le marché français ont été testés pour déterminer leur activité sur deux virus et cinq espèces bactériennes. Une concentration de 125 mg/l est suffisante pour détruire en 5 minutes le virus de la Septicémie Hémorragique Virale , mais 12500 mg/l est une concentration insuffisante pour obtenir le même résultat avec le virus de la Nécrose Pancréatique Infectieuse. Une concentration de 100 mg/l inactive totalement les espèces bactériennes util sées en 2 minutes, ce résultat n'étant pas toujours obtenu avec 10 mg/l . Les Myxobactéries se révèlent les plus sensibles , une certaine inactivation étant encore notée à 1 mg/l pendant 1 0 min. en eau distillée. Les limites de l'utilisation de ces composés en salmoniculture sont discutées
