It differed in that infected material gave negative results with an in situ hybridization test using a DNA probe for MBV, and Penaeus monodon postlarvae, experimentally exposed to the virus, failed to become infected. This new baculovirus, designate MbSNPV or Bennettae Baculovirus (BBV), is the first virus reported from a Metapenaeus spp. taken from the wild.
