WHITE SPOT SYNDROME VIRUS VACCINE

摘要

The present invention relates i.a. to nucleic acid sequences encoding a novel WSSV protein. It furthermore relates to DNA fragments, recombinant DNA molecules and live recombinant carriers comprising these sequences. Also it relates to host cells comprising such nucleic acid sequences, DNA fragments, recombinant DNA molecules and live recombinant carriers. Moreover, the invention relates to proteins encoded by these nucleotide sequences. The invention also relates to vaccines for combating WSSV infections, to methods for the preparation thereof and to the use of such proteins for the manufacturing of such vaccines. Finally the invention relates to diagnostic tests for the detection of WSSV antigenic material.
