White spot disease, caused by the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), has caused major losses in shrimp farming in Egypt since 2009. The genome sequence of the WSSV-Egypt isolate will be valuable in epidemiological studies to delineate the origin and spread of WSSV in Egypt and elsewhere in the world.
自2009年以来，由白斑综合征病毒（WSSV）引起的白斑病给埃及的对虾养殖造成了重大损失。WSSV埃及分离株的基因组序列对于开展流行病学研究以确定WSSV在埃及及世界其他地区的起源和传播情况具有重要价值。
