Abstract:
Whitespot virus could be experimentally transmitted from infected Penoeus monodon
to P. in.dicus and repeatedly passed on through several batches of apparently healthy J'.
in dieas. During these passages, white spots first disappeared before subsequently reappearing,
Electron microscopic studies revealed the presence of oblong-shaped, fully-assembled
virus towards the periphery and virus in paracrystalline arrnys towards the center
of the hypertrophied nuclei. The virus isolated here is referred to as whitespot syndrome
baculovirus (WSBV) until more is known of its antigenic .md genomic rclatodnc..s to
isolates from other countries
