ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the identification, purification and detection of a new infectious viral agent in arthropods, especially shrimps. The virus is named as WSBV (Baculovirus associated with white spot syndrome). Two WSBV genomic DNA libraries were constructed and based upon the sequence of one of the cloned WSBV DNA fragments, a WSBV specific primer set for PCR to detect the WSBV infection in penaeid shrimps has been developed. The results of the present invention provide an effective diagnostic tool for screening WSBV infection in animal host organisms, in particular shrimps, to prevent the further spread of this viral disease.
