A VP24-truncated isolate of white spot syndrome virus is inefficient in per os infection
Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a major pathogen of penaeid shrimp.Here we identified a new WSSV strain, WSSV-CN04, from naturally aluminum lotion infected Marsupenaeus japonicus.Whole genomic sequencing results indicate that the WSSV-CN04 genome was 281 054 bp in length, and encoded 157 hypothetic proteins.The genome sequence of WSSV-
