The present work provides the first evidence of polychaete worms as passive vectors of
white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in the transmission of white spot disease to Penaeus monodon
broodstocks. The study was based on live polychaete worms, Marphysa spp., obtained from worm
suppliers/worm fishers as well as samples collected from 8 stations on the northern coast of Tamilnadu
(India). Tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon broodstock with undeveloped ovaries were experimentally
infected with WSSV by feeding with polychaete worms exposed to WSSV. Fifty percent of polychaete
worms obtained from worm suppliers were found to be WSSV positive by 2-step PCR,
indicating high prevalence
