White spot syndrome in shrimp - Aggressive and devastating disease, characterized by lethargy, lack of appetite and reddish to pink body discoloration, presence of white spots on exoskeleton - Infects many crustaceans, including most cultured shrimp species - Mortalities of up to 100% within 3-10 days - Cause of huge losses (billions of US$ per year) Etiology: White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) - Family of the Nimaviridae, genus whispovirus - Rod-shaped double stranded DNA virus - Virion has envelope with a tail-like appendage and measures 275 nm X 120 nm
