Effect of hyperthermia on the replication of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in Procambarus clarkii

Evidence for cell apoptosis suppressing white spot syndrome virus replication in Procambarus clarkii at high temperature.

In shrimp, higher water temperatures (~32°C) can suppress the ability of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) to replicate and cause mortality, but the mechanisms remain unclear. To investigate whether cell apoptosis might be involved, a Tdt-mediated dUTP nick-end label (TUNEL) method was used to assess levels of chromosomal DNA fragmentation in hepatopancreas and gill cells of Procambarus clarkii ...

Infectivity and Physiological Effects of White Spot Syndrome Virus (wssv) in Farmed Louisiana Red Swamp Crayfish (procambarus Clarkii)

The Status of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in Islamic Republic of Iran

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the causative virus of disease, is found in most shrimp farming areas in Iran, and it cause large economic losses to the shrimp farming industry. Shrimp aquaculture is an important industry in Iran and plays an important role in aquaculture production. The shrimp production in 2012 was more than 12000 metric tonnes and it is estimated it will reach 20000 tonnes...

Sequence analysis of ORF94 in different White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) isolates of Iran

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a pathogen that causes high mortality in shrimp culture in the whole world. Sequence analysis of WSSV has shown similarity of WSSV isolates in different countries with exception of a few variable genomic loci. This study investigated the sequence variation of some Iranian WSSV isolates and previously identified isolates. Samples were collected during target ...
