As research on WSSV continues, commonsense steps can lessen the potential impacts of white spot syndrome virus on shrimp-farming operations.
Health & Welfare
Key to avoiding the cyclical rise and fall of production and prices is the move toward controlled reproduction of shrimp to perform within the structure chosen, whether that is disease coping or disease avoidance.
Health & Welfare
In a challenge test under controlled conditions using a severe strain of the virus, resistance to WSSV was shown in shrimp supplied by the Camaronera de Coclé, S.A. L. vannamei genetics program.
Health & Welfare
A study carried out with the herb punarnava showed that it has antiviral properties in resisting WSSV infection and holds potential to promote growth in tiger shrimp. Increased survival was related to higher dosages.
Health & Welfare
A study demonstrated that VP19 and VP28 white spot syndrome virus envelope proteins expressed by replicon particles provided protection against mortality due to WSSV in shrimp.
Health & Welfare
A rapid PCR assay for detection of WSSV was based on the nested, two-step PCR procedure recommended in the Manual of Diagnostic Tests for Aquatic Animals.

Mexico's government, shrimp industry and academic community are working to develop strategies to attenuate the effects of white spot virus in Sinaloa. They confirmed eight genotypes.
Health & Welfare
In studies, the authors found no significant difference in internal susceptibility to WSSV infection between shrimp in different molt stages.
Health & Welfare
In a study, results showed that raising water temperature to 33 degrees-C after inoculation was sufficient to prevent shrimp mortality from WSSV.

International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) guidelines should be modified and closely followed to guard against the possibility of introducing new viral pathogens.

With the fleshy prawn (Fenneropenaeus chinensis), family selection appears to be a promising prospect that could enhance WSSV resistance.

Australia’s prawn industry has encountered its first scare over white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) following positive test results in the northern territories.

An experiment with WSSV in Peru produced good survival rates in an area where the virus is established and where other efforts have failed.
