Abstract
A nested Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed for diagnosis of WSSV in Shrimp. The assay was tested to be specific in detecting WSSV. The sensitivity of the first and nested PCR step were 1 pg and 0.01 pg respectively. This assay is useful in detecting WSSV in all life stages of shrimp.
