Abstract

The pathogenicity of the extracted WSBV from the hepatopancreas, the lymphoid organ, the stomach and the heart of infected shrimps was examined after artificial infection in shrimps(Penaeus chinensis). In terms of the infection route, the strength of the pathogenicity of WSBV was in the order of intramuscular, oral and dipping method. The influence of rearing water temperature on the pathogenicity of WSBV was the strongest in the order of $30^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $15^{\circ}C$. The isolated WSBV from the diseased shrimps showed very high pathogenicity regardless of their sizes, even though there was difference in time to reach 100% mortality. Degenerated cells characterized by hypertrophied nuclei were found in various tissues such as the lymphoid organ, the hematopoietic tissue and the epidermis in the stomach.

WSBV에 감염된 대하의 간췌장, 림프기관, 위 그리고 심장으로부터 바이러스를 분리하여 바이러스액을 제조하였다. 수획된 바이러스액을 이용하여 병원성 시험을 실시하였다. 감염 방법에서는 주사감염, 경구감염, 침지감염순으로 병원성이 높게 나타났고 수온별 병원성에서는 $30^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$순으로 병원성이 높게 나타났다. 크기별 감염시험에서는 크기에 따라 폐사시기는 차이가 있지만 크기에 관계없이 강한 병원성을 나타냈다. 병리조직학적 관찰에서는 림프조직, 조혈조직, 위상피등에서 세포핵의 비대화를 관찰할 수 있었다.
