Nine Peruvian isolates of were characterized through sequencing, revealing the presence of simple sequence repeat, Pir toxin-like genes, and genes associated with antibiotic resistance, toxic components, and transposable elements. These findings expand our understanding of the genetic diversity, disease resistance, and virulence in cultivated shrimp populations in Peru.

- IHHNV is widely present in shrimp farms across Ecuador, with prevalence rates ranging from 3.3% to 100%, affecting species like Penaeus stylirostris, Penaeus vannamei, and Penaeus monodon.
- Genomic analysis reveals unique IHHNV genotypes in Ecuador and Peru that are distinct from those found in other regions globally.
- Experimental studies indicate that the current lines of Penaeus vannamei are tolerant to IHHNV, showing no significant mortality or clinical signs despite the virus being present, suggesting a stable host-virus relationship.
