Abstract excerpt
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) presently causes the most serious losses to shrimp farmers worldwide. Earlier reports of high DNA sequence homology among isolates from widely separated geographical regions suggested that a single virus was the cause. However, we have found surprisingly high variation in the number of 54 bp DNA repeats in ORF94 (GenBank AF369029) from 55 shrimp ponds (65 shrimp samples)...
