Species of Susceptible Shrimp
TSV is known to affect many shrimp species. It causes serious diseases in the postlarval (PL), juvenile and adult stages of Penaeus vannamei. It also affects severely P. setiferus, P. stylirostris, P. schmitti, Metapenaeus ensis. P. chinensis is highly susceptible to the disease in experimental bioassays.
There is variation within species and TSV-resistant strains of shrimp have been developed. Wild stocks are showing increased resistance, perhaps through intense natural selection. Reports of TS in the wild are limited, but in February 1995, the Mexican Fisheries Ministry reported the presence of TSV in wild-type shrimp captured on the border of Mexico and Guatemala. As of 2007, no confirmed reports indicated TSV is infectious to other groups of decapod or nondecapod crustaceans.
