Abstract
White spot disease, caused by the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), has caused major losses in shrimp farming in Egypt since 2009. The genome sequence of the WSSV-Egypt isolate will be valuable in epidemiological studies to delineate the origin and spread of WSSV in Egypt and elsewhere in the world.
Highlights
White spot disease, caused by the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), has caused major losses in shrimp farming in Egypt since 2009
To determine the genetic identity and origin, we sequenced the genome of the WSSV-Egypt isolate (WSSV-EG3)
Complete genome sequence of white spot syndrome virus isolated from Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus) in Egypt
Summary
White spot disease, caused by the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), has caused major losses in shrimp farming in Egypt since 2009. White spot disease, caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), is the most economically important viral disease of cultured penaeid shrimp worldwide [1,2,3]. A WSSV has a large host range, infecting shrimp, crayfish, and lobster, among many other species [3]. The genome sequences of 12 WSSV isolates
