White spot disease (WSD) and acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) are two important and highly fatal diseases of cultured shrimps. The occurrence of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) was found to be very high in brackishwateraquaculture systems of Sundarban area in West Bengal, with 40.6% of the samples being positive of which 18.75% being positive in the first step PCR. The prevalence of WSSV in traditional and semi-intensive culture systems was foundas 59.3 and 27%, respectively. On the other hand, presence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was detected in 53.1, 55.5 and 75.9% of the shrimp, water and soil samples, respectively. All the isolates of V. parahaemolyticus contained toxR gene as detected by PCR. However, none of the isolates was realised as AHPND causing isolate by PCR. Moreover, tdh gene, which causes gastroenteritis in human beings, was also not detected in any of the isolates. The present study indicated that WSSV is the major cause of crop failure in the brackishwater shrimp culture systems of Sundarban, India. Although,V. parahaemolyticus is highly prevalent in brackishwater shrimp culture systems of Sundarban, strains causing gastroenteritis or AHPND were not detected during the present study.

White Spot Disease (WSD) caused by the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is the most devastating viral disease threatening the shrimp culture industry worldwide, including Madagascar. WDS was first reported on the island in 2012; however, little is known about the circulation of the virus and its genetic diversity. Our study aimed at describing the molecular diversity and the spread of WSSV in the populations of Madagascan crustaceans. Farmed and wild shrimps were collected from various locations in Madagascar from 2012 to 2016 and were tested for WSSV. Amplicons from positive specimens targeting five molecular markers (ORF75, ORF94, ORF125, VR14/15 and VR23/24) were sequenced for genotyping characterizations. Four genotypes were found in Madagascar. The type-I genotype was observed in the south-west of Madagascar in April 2012, causing a disastrous epidemic, then spread to the North-West coast. Type-II strains were detected in October 2012 causing an outbreak in another Penaeus monodon farm. In 2014 and 2015, types II and III were observed in shrimp farms. Finally, in 2016, types II and IV were found in wild species including Fenneropenaeus indicus, Metapenaeus monoceros, Marsupenaeus japonicus and Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Considering the economic importance of the shrimp industry for Madagascar, our study highlights the need to maintain WSSV surveillance to quickly take appropriate countermeasures in case of outbreak and to sustain this industry.

We investigated whether phycoerythrin (PE), a pigment sourced from marine algae, could act as an immunomodulatory agent in whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). To this end, PE was extracted and purified from a PE-rich macroalgae, Colaconema sp. Our in vitro analysis demonstrated that PE enhanced prophenoloxidase and phagocytosis activity but inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species in hemocytes. Additionally, the PE signal could be detected using an in vivo imaging system after its injection into the ventral sinus of the cephalothorax of whiteleg shrimp. The expression profiles of fourteen immune-related genes were monitored in hemocytes from whiteleg shrimp injected with 0.30 μg of PE per gram of body weight, and crustin, lysozyme, penaiedin 4, and anti-lipopolysaccharide factor showed up-regulated post-stimulation. The induction of immune genes and enhancement of innate immune parameters by PE may explain the higher survival rates for shrimp that received different doses of PE prior to being challenged with Vibrio parahaemolyticus or white spot syndrome virus compared to controls. Combined, these results show that PE from Colaconema sp. can differentially stimulate the immune response of whiteleg shrimp in vitro and in vivo and could potentially be used as an immunomodulator in shrimp culture.

Kuruma prawn, Marsupenaeus japonicus, has the third largest annual yield among shrimp species with vital economic significance in China. White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a great threat to the global shrimp farming industry and results in high mortality. Pellino, a highly conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase, has been found to be an important modulator of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways that participate in the innate immune response and ubiquitination. In the present study, the Pellino gene from Marsupenaeus japonicus was identified. A qRT-PCR assay showed the presence of MjPellino in all the tested tissues and revealed that the transcript level of this gene was significantly upregulated in both the gills and hemocytes after challenge with WSSV and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The function of MjPellino was further verified at the protein level. The results of the three-dimensional modeling and protein–protein docking analyses and a GST pull-down assay revealed that the MjPellino protein was able to bind to the WSSV envelope protein VP26. In addition, the knockdown of MjPellino in vivo significantly decreased the expression of MjAMPs. These results suggest that MjPellino might play an important role in the immune response of kuruma prawn.

Munculnya serangan White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) pada udang yang dibudidayakan kemungkinan sebagai akibat menurunnya kualitas lingkungan tambak.  Data diperoleh dari penelitian budi daya udang windu yang dilakukan Balai Riset Perikanan Budidaya Air Payau, Maros menggunakan 8 unit tambak ukuran 500 m2. Tokolan udang windu PL-25 dengan padat tebar 10 dan 20 ekor/m2 ditebar dalam petak tambak tersebut serta penambahan probiotik setiap minggu sebanyak 1 mg/L  berlangsung selama pemeliharaan udang dan tanpa pemberian probiotik sebagai kontrol merupakan perlakuan yang diuji. Masing-masing perlakuan dengan dua ulangan. Setelah penebaran, beberapa petak terserang WSSV dan menyebabkan kematian total yaitu pada hari ke-27, 30, 41, dan 47. Serangan WSSV terus berlanjut selama pemeliharaan udang di tambak berlangsung. Pada petak menggunakan probiotik mempunyai  kecenderungan terserang WSSV lebih lambat daripada yang tidak menggunakan probiotik. Semakin tinggi padat tebar udang windu di tambak, maka semakin rentan terhadap serangan WSSV. Padat tebar 10 ekor/m2 menggunakan probiotik produksinya cenderung lebih baik daripada padat tebar 20 ekor/m2. Peningkatan populasi Vibrio sp., peningkatan konsentrasi nitrit dan tingginya populasi awal Vibrio sp. di air melebihi 103 cfu/mL dan di sedimen 104 cfu/g diduga erat kaitan dengan munculnya serangan WSSV pada udang yang dipelihara di tambak pada penelitian ini.The outbreak of WSSV infection on tiger shrimp culture was thought to be an impact of its pond environmental depletion. The data was obtained from the study of tiger shrimp culture conducted in ponds Research Station of RICA Maros using 8 unit of  brackishwater ponds compartment of 500 m2 each size. The PL-25 were stocked in the ponds at the density of 10 pieces and 20 pieces/m2 and on  the otherhand, ponds also were treated with 1 mg/L commercial probiotics applicated in every week during culture period and no probiotics application as control. Each treatment in two replications. WSSV was infected to the shrimp in the different ponds compartment beginning at 27, 30, 41, and 47 days after stocking and affected total mortality of the shrimp. The WSSV infection was continue distributed to the other ponds compartments consecutively. The shrimp in ponds were applied with probiotics tend to delay infected, in contrary more early infected to the shrimp in pond without probiotics application. The shrimp with higher stocking density likely was easier infected by WSSV. The shrimp production tends to be higher in the shrimp stocking density of 10 pieces/m2 with probiotics application as compared to 20 pieces/m2 without probiotics applications. Increase Vibrio sp. population, enhance nitrite concentration and commenced with high Vibrio sp. population in the water and sediment pond excessive of 103 cfu/mL and 104 cfu/g respectively were presumed as the stimulate of WSSV outbreak in tiger shrimp culture in this research.

The White Spot Syndrome Virus has already posed a serious threat to industrial shrimp culture for many years. We studied this disease in Penaeus vannamei. A total of 100 specimens was used to evaluate tissue tropism for WSSV. In case of infectious correlations among the tissues, Kendall’s tau-b test showed that there were significant differences () among the target tissues. The rates of frequency for infected target tissues, which should be calculated between 0 and 1, were 0.71, 0.58, 0.61 and 0.12, respectively, for haemolymph, hindgut epithelial cells, cephalothoracic epidermis, and interstitial tissue of the hepatopancreas. Results indicated that 88% of the gills, 98% of the muscles, 97% of haematopoietic nodules and 97% of the hearts were not severely infected, but these rather showed relatively mild infections. It can be suggested that epithelial cells of the gills prevent replication of the virus in the early stage of WSSV infection, whereas meanwhile epithelial cells of the cephalothorax and those of the hindgut, in contrast, boost the replication of WSSV. Additionally, morphological haemocytic evaluation can be applied as an appropriate infectious indicator in the early stage of WSSV disease in farmed P. vannamei.
