Effects of acute change in salinity and moulting on the infection of white leg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) with white spot syndrome virus upon immersion challenge

Abstract: In the field, moulting and salinity drop in the water due to excessive rainfall have been mentioned to be risk factors for WSSV outbreaks. Therefore, in this study, the effect of an acute change in environmental salinity and shedding of the old cuticle shell on the susceptibility of Penaeus vannamei to WSSV was evaluated by immersion challenge. For testing the effect of abrupt salinity stress, early premoult shrimp that were acclimated to 35 g L were subjected to salinities of 50 g L , 35 g L , 20 g L , 10 g L… Show more

“…Results showed that expression trend of those genes in L . maculates liver were in general agreement with previously reports on these gene’s roles in fishes’ osmoregulatory organs with one exception, aqp3 expression has been found decreased in response to high salinity challenge in many teleost species [ 51 – 53 ], such a discrepancy may result from the different studied species and tissues.…”

“…The virus is known to occur in fresh, brackish, and marine water. WSSV multiplies due to environmental stress, temperature, pH, salinity, plankton blooming, molting, and spawning [[2], [3], [4]]. To prevent WSSV infection, several chemicals have been used particularly formaldehyde, malachite green, calcium oxide, and sodium hypochlorite [5]; but these chemicals pose environmental hazards.…”

“…Outbreaks of white spot syndrome virus are common in shrimp farms during the rainy season, with a possible association with lower salinity and temperatures. It has recently been reported that shrimp are more susceptible to white spot syndrome virus when the water is at a lower salinity, suggesting that chloride ions may have an antiviral effect in marine organisms as well 23 . This potential relationship between virus, eukaryotic co-evolution and antiviral mechanism is interesting and needs further research.…”
