Numerous infections by viral pathogens have been described from wild and cultured
crustacean hosts, yet relatively few of these pathogens have been formally characterised …

Three white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) isolates of different virulence were identified in our
previous study, the high-virulent strain WSSV-CN01, the moderate-virulent strain WSSV …

White Spot Disease (WSD) caused by the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is the most
devastating viral disease threatening the shrimp culture industry worldwide, including …

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play crucial roles in regulating cell differentiation,
proliferation and apoptosis. In this study, a novel IGF homologue gene (IGF-like) encoded by …

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infects several economically important aquaculture
species, and has caused significant losses to the industry. This virus belongs to the …

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) has been the cause of great economic losses in world
shrimp farming. In this work the genome of a Brazilian WSSV isolate was determined from …

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) has caused substantial global economic impact on
aquaculture, and it has been determined that strains can vary in virulence. In this study, the …

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) replicates rapidly, can be extremely pathogenic and is a
common cause of mass mortality in cultured shrimp. Variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) …

The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) genome contains 3 variable number tandem repeat
(VNTR) regions, located in open reading frame (ORF) 75, ORF94 and ORF125, which have …

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is an important cause of mortality and economic losses
in shrimp farming. Although WSSV‐induced mortality is virus dose dependent and WSSV …
