Experimental infection of white spot syndrome virus in freshwater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus

Experimental infection of white spot syndrome virus in freshwater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus.

The signal freshwater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus was found to be susceptible to infection with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Histopathological observations of various tissues of virus-injected crayfish showed similar symptoms to those from WSSV-infected penaeid shrimp, but no appearance of white spots on the cuticle or reddish body colour were observed, although these are the promine...
