Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) is one of the major viral pathogens of penaeid shrimp and it has spread worldwide. IHHNV causes substantial economic loss to the shrimp farming industry and has been listed as a notifiable crustacean disease pathogen by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). In this paper, we reviewed studies on the hosts and carriers, prevalence, genotypes and virulence of IHHNV. The pathogenesis mechanisms of IHHNV and the viral interference between IHHNV and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) were also discussed. The mechanism of IHHNV infection and its virulence difference in different hosts and different developmental stages have not been fully studied yet. The mechanisms underlying viral interference between IHHNV and WSSV are not yet fully understood. Further studies are needed to elucidate the precise molecular mechanisms underlying IHHNV infection and to apply the insights gained from such studies for the effective control and prevention of IHHNV disease.

The green peach aphid () is a generalist pest damaging crops and transmitting viral pathogens. Using Illumina sequencing of small (s)RNAs and poly(A)-enriched long RNAs, we analyzed aphid virome components, viral gene expression and antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) responses. Myzus persicae densovirus (family ), a single-stranded (ss)DNA virus persisting in the aphid population, produced 22 nucleotide sRNAs from both strands of the entire genome, including 5'- and 3'-inverted terminal repeats.

Mannose receptor (MR) is a transmembrane protein and a type of pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) that plays a critical role in the immunity of mammals and fish. In this study, we examined the role of MR in binding with infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus-like particle (IHHN-VLP) and the downstream immune pathway that it triggers in the shrimp Peneaus vannamei. Upon IHHN-VLP challenge, transcripts of MR in P.

Article Synopsis
- White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) causes high mortality in shrimp, prompting efforts for viral suppression that have had limited success.
- Recent advancements in CRISPR/Cas9 technology have shown potential to target and cleave the WSSV genome, leading to reduced viral levels in infected shrimp.
- The study demonstrated that treatment with the CRISPR/Cas9 system not only decreased WSSV DNA but also improved shrimp survival rates, suggesting valuable implications for shrimp aquaculture management.

As a newly discovered virus, Decapoda iridovirus 1 (DIV1) can cause a mortality rate of up to 100% in crustaceans, leading to huge economic losses. At present, there is no effective prevention and control measures for this disease. In the present study, the specific primers targeting highly conserved regions of MCP gene were designed, and then a quantitative real-time PCR method was established.

Penaeus paulensis (pink shrimp) is an important resource for small-scale fisheries in the brackish coastal lagoons of Uruguay. No viral diseases have been detected in shrimp populations in the Uruguayan territory. The presence of viral pathogens, such as White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) and Infectious Hypodermal Haematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHHNV) in wild shrimp populations has been previously reported in Brazil and Argentina.
