Abstract
The genome sequences of four economically important shrimp viruses, Penaeus stylirostris densovirus 1, hepatopancreatic parvovirus, yellow head virus, and gill-associated virus, are reported here. Genome data are fundamental for epidemiological studies in determining the origins of these viruses detected for the first time in Egypt and in developing disease management strategies.
Highlights
The genome sequences of four economically important shrimp viruses, Penaeus stylirostris densovirus 1, hepatopancreatic parvovirus, yellow head virus, and gill-associated virus, are reported here
The whole-genome sequences of the four viruses from Egypt have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers KT316249, KT316250, RETRACTED KT316251, KT316252, KT316253, KT316254, KT316256, KT316257, KT316258, KT316259, and KT316260 for Penaeus stylirostris densovirus 1 (PstDNV1); KR492908, KR492909, KR492910, KR492911, KT316240, KT316241, KT316242, KT316243, KT316244, and KT316245 for hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV); KT316279 for gill-associated virus (GAV); and KT316278 for yellow head virus (YHV)

Summary
The genome sequences of four economically important shrimp viruses, Penaeus stylirostris densovirus 1, hepatopancreatic parvovirus, yellow head virus, and gill-associated virus, are reported here. A (PstDNV1 and HPV) and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) (YHV and GAV) were taken for cloning. Each sequence contained ORFs encoding nonstructural (NS) proteins NS1 and NS2 and As reported for other PstDNV1 isolates [3, 4]. The genome sizes of 10 HPV-Egypt isolates varied from 5,685 to 6,336 nt.
