Genomic selection for white spot syndrome virus resistance in whiteleg shrimp boosts survival under an experimental challenge test

Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) causes major worldwide losses in shrimp aquaculture. The development of resistant shrimp populations is an attractive option for management of the disease. However, heritability for WSSV resistance is generally low and genetic improvement by conventional sel...
