Design and Evaluation of a PCR Method for Detecting White Spot Syndrome Virus in Shrimp
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Background: White spot syndrome virus (wssv) is the causing agent for white spot disease in shrimp and many crustaceans. This disease is highly contagious and can cause death within 3–10 days under normal culture conditions. Therefore, early diagnosis of the virus is a necessity. Materials and Methods: Primers were designed for three regions of the virus genome and one region of the shrimp genome so that they could function together in a reaction. DNA was extracted from 40 samples of shrimp suspected of white spot disease. Primers were then optimized individually to detect white spot virus and after selecting the most suitable one, the virus was detected simultaneously by two pairs of primers. Shrimp genome replication primers were also used as internal control. Results: Among the designed primers, three pairs of primers were selected that amplified one fragment of the shrimp genome and two fragments of the virus genome. Of the 40 samples examined, 28 samples were positive (infected with the virus) and 12 samples were negative, which completely matched the results obtained with the reference kit. Conclusion: To detect white spot virus, examination of two regions of the virus genome is sufficient and reduces the possibility of false negatives. It is also effective to use the shrimp genome to control DNA extraction and PCR steps. The single-step method (PCR) is preferable to the two-step method (Nested PCR) due to its reduced probability of contamination and ease of use.

Increasing production in Korean shrimp farms with white-spot syndrome virus PCR-negative brood stock.
White-spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a devastating, infectious virus affecting shrimp. Although sensitive techniques involving PCR have been developed to assist farmers in screening shrimp (brood stock) for WSSV prior to stocking ponds, such practices have not yet been applied in Korea. Despite the rationality of implementing screening, there has been some doubt as to whether the stocking of WSS...
متن کاملScavenger Receptor C Mediates Phagocytosis of White Spot Syndrome Virus and Restricts Virus Proliferation in Shrimp
Scavenger receptors are an important class of pattern recognition receptors that play several important roles in host defense against pathogens. The class C scavenger receptors (SRCs) have only been identified in a few invertebrates, and their role in the immune response against viruses is seldom studied. In this study, we firstly identified an SRC from kuruma shrimp, Marsupenaeus japonicus, de...

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV, genus Whispovirus, family Nimaviridae) is causing huge economic losses in global shrimp farming, but there is no effective control. Shrimp cell laminin receptor (Lamr) may have a role in WSSV infection. The objective was to characterize interactions between Penaeus monodon Lamr (PmLamr) and WSSV structural proteins. In this study, PmLamr interacted with nine WSS...
