Hi-PCR® White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) Probe PCR Kit

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) has a worldwide distribution and is considered one of the most pathogenic and devastating viruses to the shrimp industry. White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the lone virus (and type species) of the genus Whispovirus (white spot). It is responsible for causing white spot syndrome in a wide range of crustacean hosts. White spot syndrome (WSS) is a viral infection of penaeid shrimp. The disease is highly lethal and contagious, killing shrimp quickly.. HiMedia’s Hi-PCR® White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) Probe PCR Kit is designed to detect the ribonucleotide reductase encoding gene of WSSV in FAM channel and Internal Control in JOEchannel in a single tube reaction. The kit allows sensitive and specific detection of WSSV in a single tube reaction.
