Popis: Three molecular assays were used to detect and quantify white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in DNA extracted from seston size-fractioned (0.02, 0.2, 1.2, and 20 μm) samples collected from a coastal lagoon and an adjacent shrimp farm. From 107 DNA extracts, only two from one sample tested positive for WSSV with nested PCR in the 1.2 and 20 μm fractions. These results were confirmed by a semi-quantitative (IQ2000TM WSSV Detection and Prevention System) and a quantitative (IQREALTM WSSV Quantitative System) detection system based, based, respectively, on nested PCR and real-time PCR. A first viral load reference value (6.54 × 104 WSSV copies/mL) was established in a seston size fraction (1.2−20 μm). The results suggest that WSSV could be associated with both resuspension of fine clays and silts, and nanoplankton and organic colloids during infectious events.
