Shrimp Haemocyte Iridescent Virus (SHIV/DIV1)
Shrimp Haemocyte Iridescent Virus (SHIV), also known as Decapod Iridescent Virus 1 (DIV1) was first detected and identified from diseased white leg shrimp P. vannamei in December 2014 from Zhejiang Province, China. Research has shown that this virus mainly infects the hematopoietic and hemocytes
in P. vannamei in all stages of shrimps (PLs, juveniles, adults). The virus exhibited a typical icosahedral structure with a mean diameter around 150 nm. It has been identified as a new threat to the shrimp farming industry
