Challenges in shrimp aquaculture due to viral diseases: distribution and biology of the five major penaeid viruses and interventions to avoid viral incidence and dispersion

Abstract

SHRIMP AQUACULTURE HAS BEEN DRAMATICALLY AFFECTED BY MANY PATHOGENIC DISEASES, MAINLY CAUSED BY FIVE VIRUSES: IHHNV, YHV, TSV, WSSV, and IMNV. Here we provide a state-of-the-art overview of these shrimp viruses, with emphasis on distribution, pathology, morphology, and genomic organization, in addition to current diagnostic methods and intervention practices.

Keywords: diagnostic methods; disease control.; shrimp aquaculture; viruses.
