Summary: A rapid colorimetric aptasensor with high selectivity and sensitivity was developed for the detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). The designed aptamer showed good specificity to WSSV and could detect as low as 10^4 copies of WSSV using naked eyes. This study demonstrated excellent potential for the rapid visual colorimetric detection of WSSV in aquaculture shrimp farming.

Summary: We developed a GNP-labeled dark-field counting method for the detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp. The method utilizes the light scattering characteristics of gold nanoparticles under a dark-field microscope, allowing for visual counting of WSSV by the naked eye. The sensitivity of the method was found to be 32 copies/μL in pure and real tissue samples, and the detection time was less than 30 minutes, meeting the requirements for rapid and ultra-sensitive detection of WSSV clinic samples.

Summary: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cryogenic electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) techniques were used to study the morphology and pathogenesis of White spot syndrome virus (WSSV). The mature WSSV virions were found to have an oval shape without tail-like extensions. Two distinct ends, a portal cap, and a closed base, were observed in WSSV nucleocapsids. A C14 symmetric structure of the WSSV nucleocapsid was proposed based on Cryo-EM map. Immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) revealed a ring-like architecture formed by VP664 proteins, the main components of the 14 assembly units, in WSSV. Furthermore, a unique helical dissociation process of WSSV nucleocapsids was observed. Based on these findings, a novel morphogenetic pathway of WSSV was proposed.

Summary: White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a lethal virus in shrimp aquaculture, with Chinese shrimp being more susceptible to infection. Currently, there is no effective solution to the WSSV problem in Chinese shrimp aquaculture. Research shows that different individuals from the same family can carry varying viral loads after WSSV infection. Transcriptomic analysis revealed differentially expressed genes related to binding function and the extracellular matrix-receptor interaction pathway, suggesting their importance in the anti-WSSV processes in Chinese shrimp.

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: This study investigated the effect of Pediococcus pentosaceus MR001 on the resistance to white spot disease (WSD) and the intestinal microbiota of Litopenaeus vannamei. The results showed that probiotic supplementation significantly increased the survival rate of shrimp and upregulated immunity-related genes. P. pentosaceus MR001 also altered the gut microbiota, increasing the abundance of potential probiotics and decreasing the abundance of potential pathogens.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
