Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) as the pathogenic agent caused acute and lethal infection of shrimp, resulting in mass economic losses to shrimp aquaculture industry all around the world especially in China. WSSV is a group of closely related nonoccluded baculolike viruses, but have no obvious homologous to baculovirus. In 2001, Chinese and Dutch scientists reported complete DNA genome sequence of the virus separately, opening the postgenomic study of WSSV. Currently, there are various detection methods for diagnosis and pathogenesis study of WSSV. Although shrimp cell lines suitable for the isolation and growth of WSSV are still not available, the mature animal model for virus proliferation has been widely used for the WSSV research. In this paper, the progresses on nomenclature, characteristics, detection, infection development, viral hosts, transmission routes and animal model of WSSV are reviewed respectively.
