Note
White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) affects the penaeid shrimp culture industry, but the potential impact on the ornamental shrimp industry has not been studied. Therefore, experiments were conducted to determine the susceptibility of the ornamental peppermint shrimp Lysmata wurdemanni to WSSV. Litopenaeus vannamei, a cultured penaeid shrimp was used for comparison. Three experiments (two per os, one injection) were conducted.
