Ultrastructure analysis of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV)

Archives of Virology, 2019
In this study, two aspects of the ultrastructure of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) were identified: (i) The virus nucleocapsids were disassembled, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image analysis confirmed that the nucleocapsids were composed of stacked ring segments rather than the usual helix system, with each ring segment consisting of ...

Haemocyte reactions in WSSV immersion infected Penaeus monodon

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2007
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) has been a major cause of shrimp mortality in aquaculture worldwide in the past decades. In this study, WSSV infection (by immersion) and behaviour recruitment of haemocytes is investigated in gills and midgut, using an antiserum against the viral protein VP28 and a monoclonal antibody recognising haemocytes (WSH8) in a

WSSV-induced crayfish Dscam shows durable immune behavior

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2014
One of the major gaps in our understanding of arthropod specific immune priming concerns the mechanism[s] by which the observed long-term (>2 weeks) protective effects might be mediated. Hypervariable Dscam (Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule) might support arthropod innate immunity with specificity for more extended periods.

A Pacifastacus leniusculus serine protease interacts with WSSV

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2017
Serine proteases are involved in many critical physiological processes including virus spread and replication. In the present study, we identified a new clip-domain serine protease (PlcSP) in the crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus hemocytes, which can interact with the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) envelope protein VP28.

LvCPG2 facilitated WSSV infection by interaction with VP26 and VP28

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2021
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSP), widely distributed in extracellular matrices, have several important functions in vertebrates. In certain viruses, CSP acts as a receptor to promote infection. However, chondroitin proteoglycans lack sulfate are poorly understood in invertebrates. In this study, chondroitin proteoglycan 2 of Litopenaeus vannamei

WSSV: VP26 binding protein and its biological activity

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2011
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is one of the major causes of disease in the shrimp culture industry causing enormous economic losses. In this study, we displayed peptides from a cDNA library obtained from the hemolymph of shrimp infected with WSSV, on the surface of phage and screened for the peptides that interacted with the WSSV.

Alternative PCR primers for genotyping of Brazilian WSSV isolates

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2019
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is one of the major challenges faced by global shrimp farming in recent decades. The characterization of WSSV genetic variability has been used to determine viral dispersion and is a promising method to determine the association between genotype and virulence. The major variable regions that have been used as markers to

Litopenaeus vannamei NF-κB is required for WSSV replication

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2014
Many viruses can hijack the host cell NF-κB as part of their life cycle, diverting NF-κB immune regulatory functions to favor their replications. There were several reports on the functions of Litopenaeus vannamei NF-κB (LvNF-κB) in White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) replication in vitro.

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) interaction with crayfish haemocytes

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2006
WSSV particles were detected in separated granular cells (GCs) and semigranular cells (SGCs) by in situ hybridisation from WSSV-infected crayfish and the prevalence of WSSV-infected GCs was 5%, whereas it was 22% in SGCs. This indicates that SGCs are more susceptible to WSSV and that this virus replicated more rapidly in SGCs than in GCs and as a ...

Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a major White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) envelope protein VP24 expressed in Escherichia coli against WSSV

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2014
The study reports cloning, expression and characterization of immunogenic activity of VP24, a major envelope protein of White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). His-tagged VP24 was expressed as truncated protein and purified from inclusion bodies by metal affinity chromatography under denaturing conditions.
