Abstract
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) causes the most serious epizootic in cultured penaeid shrimp. The epizootic started in 1992, and spread through east and south east Asia and into other shrimp growing countries of the region. WSSV has also been reported from Penaeus chinensis cultured in Korean peninsula (Park et al., 1998; Kim et al., 1999). However, this paper deals with the WSSV infection in cultured and wild P. chinensis, purification and characterization of the pathogen, and the occurrence of other concomitant infection. (omitted)
