Description Recently mass mortalities of penaeid prawns have been reported worldwide in
the culture ponds due to the occurrence of White Spot Disease (WSD). Eventhough,
several tissues of ectodermal and mesodermal origin have been confirmed to be
the target organs for white spot baculovirus, not much importance has been given
so far to the compound eyes of penaeid prawns affected with WSD. Histopathological
and ultrastructural studies were conducted in the compound eye of
Penaeus indicus H. Milne Edwards, affected with WSD. Eosinophilic to
basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies were observed in the narrow region of
the retinular cell nuclei in the dioptic portion of the ommatidia. Electron
microscopic examination of the compound eye revealed the presence of rodshaped,
enveloped, non-occluded virions and viral particles in the affected nuclei
of retinular cells.
