sampling and evaluation of white spot syndrome virus in commercially important atlantic penaeid shrimp stocks.	in 1997, white spot syndrome virus (wssv) was discovered in shrimp culture facilities in south carolina, usa. this disease was known to cause devastating mortalities in cultured populations in southeast asia and prompted concern for the health of wild populations in the usa. our study surveyed wild shrimp populations for the presence of wssv by utilizing molecular diagnostics and bioassay techniques. a total of 1150 individuals (586 litopenaeus setiferus, 477 farfantepenaeus aztecus and 87 f. do ...	2004	15264713
identification of genomic variations among geographic isolates of white spot syndrome virus using restriction analysis and southern blot hybridization.	white spot syndrome virus (wssv) is widely distributed in most of the asian countries where penaeid shrimp are cultured, as well as in some regions of the usa. six geographic isolates of wssv-1 each from penaeid shrimp from china, india, thailand, and the us states of texas and south carolina, and 1 isolated from crayfish at the national zoological park in washington, dc-were compared by combining the methods of restriction analysis and southern blot hybridization. dna was extracted from purifie ...	2000	11206732
