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.
