Article Synopsis
- Outbreaks of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) significantly harm penaeid shrimp aquaculture globally, and understanding virus-host interactions is crucial for developing effective treatments.
- A metabolomics approach using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was employed to analyze metabolite profiles in different shrimp tissues (gills, haemolymph, and hepatopancreas) after WSSV exposure, revealing distinct differences between infected and control shrimp.
- The study found specific immune responses in shrimp, such as changes in fatty acid and amino acid levels, indicating adaptations related to metabolism and stress management, which could aid in creating better disease management strategies.
