Abstract excerpt
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) has a ∼300 kb double-stranded DNA genome. It originated in China, spread rapidly through shrimp farms in Asia, and subsequently to America. This study determined complete genome sequences for nine historic WSSV strains isolated from Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) captured in farm ponds in northwest Mexico (Sinaloa and Nayarit). Genomic DNA was captured by an...
