Description White spot disease (WSD) caused by the lethal white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) continues to be the major cause of
mortality among farmed tiger shrimp in India and elsewhere, resulting in an annual loss of about 4-6 billion US$. Among the
environmental variables, temperature and salinity of the rearing water are considered to be major triggering factors for white
spot disease outbreak. In order to characterise the effect of salinity and temperature on the pathogenecity of WSSV infection
in giant tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon, a laboratory challenge study was conducted at different levels of temperature
(16, 25, 27, 28, 30, 32 and 36 ºC) and salinity (0.5, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 45 g l-1) with virulent white spot syndrome virus.
Significant influence of temperature (p
