Neural necrosis virus (NNV) of family Nodaviridae affect wide range of fish species with viral encephalopathy and retinopathy causing mass mortality up to 100%. Currently there is no effective treatment and depopulation is only suggested recommendation. New avenues and approach are required to control this harmful malady. In this study we developed an epitope-based vaccine (EBV), against NNV using computation approach. We have selected two conserved proteins RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) and capsid proteins. Based on more than ~ 1000 epitopes we selected six antigenic epitopes. These were conjugated to adjuvant and linker peptides to generate a full-length vaccine candidate. Biochemical structural properties were analyzed by Phyre2 server. ProtParam, Molprobity. Ramachandran plot results indicate that 98.7% residues are in a favorable region and 93.4% residues in the favored region. The engineered EBV binds to toll like receptor-5 (TLR5) an important elicitor of immune response. Further molecular docking by PatchDock server reveals the atomic contact energy (i.e. − 267.08) for the best docked model of EBV and TLR5 receptor. The molecular simulation results suggest a stable interaction; the RMSD and RMSF values are 1–4 Ǻ and 1–12Ǻ, respectively. Further we have suggested the best possible codon optimized sequence for its cloning and subsequent purification of the protein. Overall, this is a first report to suggest an in-silico method for generation of an EBV candidate against NNV. We surmise that the method and approach suggested could be used as a promising cure for NNVs.
