Infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) is a major viral pathogen in cultured shrimp. It is generally believed that the target organs of IHHNV in shrimp include tissues of ectodermal and mesodermal origin, but do not normally include organ systems of endodermal origin, such as hepatopancreas. In this study, the feeding challenge of IHHNV in different organs (pleopods, muscles, gills, and hepatopancreas) of Penaeus vannamei was studied. The PCR results showed that hepatopancreas of P. vannamei had the strongest IHHNV positivity (100% positive, 19.4 copies/mg) in the feeding challenge experiment. Gills and pleopods had similar infectivity to IHHNV (86.7% positive, 10.6 and 10.5 copies/mg). Among the four organs tested in this study, the IHHNV positivity of muscles was the weakest (33.3% positive, 4.7 copies/mg). The IHHNV infection to hepatopancreas of P. vannamei was also histological confirmed. Our current data indicated that the shrimp tissues derived from the endoderm such as hepatopancreas could also be infected by IHHNV.

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.
