White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is a major shrimp disease, which has caused high mortality rate and economic losses to the major shrimp farming countries in South East Asia, Central America and Southern USA. It is a pathogen found in different penaeid shrimp species including P. monodon, P. japonicus and L. vannamei as well as other crustaceans, such as crab and crayfish. Molecular methods like PCR for pathogen detection have been developed for shrimp diseases and at present, it is recognized to be the most effective diagnostic tool for this pathogen. Hi-PCR® White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) SYBr PCR Kit helps in specific detection of genes indicating presence of WSSV in shrimps.
