Abstract
The white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) poses a serious threat to both cultured and wild aquatic organisms. Despite significant advances in understanding this pathogen, it remains a major concern for farmed species, particularly shrimp. Infected shrimp often exhibit reduced feed intake, discoloration, and characteristic white spots on the cephalothorax. Although WSSV has been known for decades, its transmission pathways and effective preventive measures are not yet fully understood. This knowledge gap continues to limit the development of comprehensive strategies for prevention and control. The present review summarizes recent findings on WSSV biology and highlights current approaches to its prevention.
