Abstract
Oysters Crassostrea gigas were placed at water supply canals of three shrimp farms in Guasave, Mexico where WSSV outbreaks occur. Animals were sampled through April-August and September-December to detect WSSV DNA. By using three different PCR protocols, only oysters from a farm undergoing a WSSV outbreak were found WSSV-positive in gills and digestive gland. Two WSSV amplicons were sequenced and they corresponded over 99% to WSSV genome segments. Results showed that oysters can capture WSSV particles suspended in water. Susceptibility of oysters to WSSV infection and their role as a carrier remain to be determined. (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Entities:
