白斑综合症病毒研究的最新进展

Recent Advances in the Study of White Spot Syndrome Virus

白斑综合症病毒(white spot syndrome virus, WSSV)是危害我国虾蟹类水产养殖业健康发展的重要病毒性病原体之一,与其他病毒相比,庞大的基因组和较低的基因组同源性是其显著特征。本文对WSSV病毒在基因组、病毒与宿主互作的机制、检测方法及防治手段方面的最新研究进展进行了综述和展望,为加深人们对于WSSV病毒的理解,把握未来发展方向提供帮助。

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is one of the major viral pathogens which has greatly hampered the healthy development of the aquaculture industry of shrimps and crabs. Compared with other viruses, the WSSV genome is characterized with a huge size and relatively low homology. This paper has summarized and prospected the recent progress in the study of the genome, mechanism of virus-host interaction, detection, prophylaxis and control of the WSSV. This review will contribute to the better understanding of the WSSV and its future research direction.
