Summary: Investigation into lipid metabolism shifts in shrimp infected with white spot syndrome virus shows how the virus controls host metabolism to create favorable conditions for its replication. The virus induces lipolysis during its replication stage to provide material and energy, and triggers lipogenesis during the late stage to facilitate virion morphogenesis. The study also reveals changes in lipid droplets and fatty acid release in infected cells. This research demonstrates that white spot syndrome virus modulates lipid metabolism at different stages to support replication.

Summary: White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) causes White Spot Disease (WSD) in shrimp, with environmental conditions such as temperature and salinity playing major roles in outbreak severity. Other water quality factors such as dissolved oxygen concentration, nitrogenous compound concentration, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and pH may also affect susceptibility to WSSV. Understanding the impact of environmental conditions on shrimp susceptibility to WSSV is crucial for WSD mitigation, as current methods for prevention and treatment are ineffective.

Summary: In the past 15 years, crustacean fisheries have suffered significant economic losses due to viral diseases. No effective measures are available to prevent or control these outbreaks. However, a double-stranded RNA-based nanovaccine shows promise for controlling infectious diseases in aquaculture.

Summary: This study elucidated the transmission dynamics of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp. It was found that the progression of white spot disease (WSD) was rapid and irreversible, with viral DNA shedding detected within 6 hours of disease onset. Host-to-host WSSV transmission primarily occurred around the time of death. Furthermore, exposure to water contaminated with WSSV-infected shrimp resulted in a significantly higher infection risk compared to exposure to feces or molts.

Summary: This review evaluates and updates the status of reported host and vector species of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), and critically assesses the presence of WSSV in aquatic organisms and their potential role in transmission. The results show that WSSV continues to spread beyond farmed shrimp and the shrimp pond environment, and the transmission of WSSV in the aquatic environment is complex and challenging. The information presented in this review provides research directions for controlling WSSV.

Summary: White spot disease caused by WSSV is a major problem in shrimp farming. This study identified the existence of a PIF complex in WSSV, which plays a critical role in the entry of the virus into shrimp and has biochemical properties important for infectivity in marine environments.

Summary: The synthesis of coumarin derivatives C2 and C7 has shown promising antiviral effects against white spot syndrome virus in Litopenaeus vannamei larvae, reducing toxicity and mortality while remaining stable in aquacultural water. These compounds have the potential for use in prevention and treatment of WSSV infection in shrimp seedling culture.

Summary: Shrimp aquaculture is booming because of high demand in developed countries, but the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is causing massive mortality in shrimp population. Nanotechnology provides advantages in targeted drug delivery, altering charge of nanoparticles, and minimizing adverse effects. This review discusses antiviral activity of CS/TPP-coated nanoparticles encapsulating WSSV VP28, stimulation of innate immunity using polyamine-coated carbon quantum dots, and investigation of silver nanoparticles in inhibiting viral activity for effective cure of white spot syndrome.

Summary: Outbreaks of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) have caused serious damage to penaeid shrimp aquaculture worldwide. Despite great efforts to characterize the virus, the conditions that lead to infection and the infection mechanisms, there is still a lack of understanding regarding these complex virus-host interactions, which is needed to develop consistent and effective treatment methods for WSSV. In this study, a metabolomics approach was used to compare metabolite profiles of WSSV-challenged shrimp and controlled shrimp in gills, haemolymph and hepatopancreas, revealing tissue-specific immune responses of shrimp to WSSV. The findings provide insights for the development of disease management strategies against WSSV invasion.

Summary: Replacing fish meal with vegetable protein sources in the diet of Pacific white shrimp has negative effects on their health. However, adding nucleotides to the diet can improve their immune response and resistance to aquatic pathogens, allowing the replacement of fish meal without affecting performance.

Summary: The study identified that the absence of inclement weather during ponding and the separation of ponds into specific types were significantly associated with the occurrence of white spot disease in shrimp farming. These results can serve as a reference for farmers and authorities in controlling the disease.
