Abstract
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the most contagious pathogen in terms of production and economic losses for the shrimp sector world-wide. Current methods using antibiotics or immune-stimulants for treatment or prevention are not cost-effective or sustainable. The main aim of my thesis was to obtain genetic and genomic information to support the future development of genetic lines of whiteleg shrimp against WSSV.
