Abstract

The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a causative agent of white spot disease (WSD) in crustaceans, especially in cultivated black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), leading to significant economic losses in the aquaculture sector. The present study describes four whole genome sequences of WSSV obtained from coastal regions of Bangladesh.

Keywords: Bangladesh; shrimp; white spot syndrome virus.
