In this survey have been examined 1080 shrimp from each species of P.indicus, P.semisulcatus, P.merguiensis, Metapenaeus affinis and 1080 crabs (gill organs) by PCR and histopathological methods. Diagnostic kit for this survey have been prepared from Genesis Biotechnology CO.in Malaysia, so called "Single-Tube Nested PCR for WSSV".
