For the shrimp farming industry of Mexico, disease outbreaks caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) are relatively recent. Efforts to control the virus are assisted by monitoring for its prevalence in aquaculture systems, but few attempts have been made to search for it in carriers from coastal waters. To search for WSSV carriers in the Gulf of California, we made surveys off the coast of Sinaloa, Mexico, in March 2001, November 2001, and September 2003 using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays and histopathology. WSSV-positive shrimp were detected only in November 2001, after hurricane Julliete. This suggested possible dispersal of WSSV to the marine environment from infected shrimp farms.
对于墨西哥的对虾养殖业来说,由白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)引起的疾病爆发是相对近期才出现的。通过监测该病毒在水产养殖系统中的流行情况来辅助控制病毒的工作,但在沿海水域的带菌者中寻找该病毒的尝试却很少。为了在加利福尼亚湾寻找WSSV带菌者,我们于2001年3月、2001年11月和2003年9月在墨西哥锡那罗亚海岸外进行了调查,采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测和组织病理学方法。仅在2001年11月飓风胡利埃特过后检测到了WSSV阳性虾。这表明WSSV可能从受感染的对虾养殖场传播到了海洋环境中。
