WSD, YHD, TS, and IMN, the major viral diseases that infect shrimp, are caused by White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), Yellow head virus genotype 1 (YHV-1), Taura syndrome virus (TSV), and Infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV). Clinical signs of these diseases include white spots on the epidermis, poor feeding, and soft hair. It may turn yellow, become partially hard, or develop white lesions in the muscles, leading to death. These are diseases occurring in many countries where shrimp farming is practiced, such as Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, as well as Ecuador and Chile, and designated by the World Organization Animal Health (WOAH).
