White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV)
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a highly infectious viral pathogen that causes mass mortality in farmed penaeid shrimps worldwide. WSSV has been known as the most prevalent, widespread and lethal to most of the commercially cultivated penaeid shrimp species.
Clinical signs of infected shrimps
- White spots on carapace and last abdominal segment
- Body colour becomes pale
- Lethargic behaviour
- Reduction in food consumption
- Loose cuticle or shells
Mortality rate
Cumulative mortality of up to 100% within 3 -10 days after infection
Mode of transmission
Transmitted vertically by trans-ovum, consumption of infected tissue (e.g. cannibalism, predation, etc.), and by water-borne routes. Dead and moribund animals can be a source of disease transmission.
Infected shrimp types
Penaeus monodon, Marsupenaeus japonicus, Litopenaeus vannamei and Fenneropenaeus indicus
