Outbreaks of white spot syndrome (WSS), causing serious mortality to cultured shrimp, have been occurring in the East Asia since 1992. WSS has spread widely, and caused serious damage to shrimp farms in the world. Detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimps is very important for management of shrimp farms. 

Shrimp Virus Detection kit is a management tool based on immunoassay for shrimp aquaculture that can be used to assess the level of WSSV infection in larva and shrimp during breeding. it is a lateral flow, one step , fast and easy. The results are read visually without any instruments. The test system employs unique monoclonal antibodies to selectively identify WSSV in shrimps with a high degree of sensitivity.
