Abstract

Whiteleg shrimp L. vannamei White spot syndrome virus selective breeding WSSV resistance heritability viral titre whole genome sequencing SNP genetic correlation
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.
