Current Trends in <strong>Biotechnology</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Pharmacy</strong>Vol. 5 (1) 1011-1020 January 2011. ISSN 0973-8916 (Print), 2230-7303 (Online)1018the virus described here from coastal farms <strong>of</strong>Gujarat is very similar to white spot syndromevirus. This is believed to be the first report <strong>of</strong>systematic study <strong>of</strong> identification <strong>of</strong> WSSV fromthe cultured shrimps <strong>of</strong> South Gujarat region.AcknowledgementDuring the present investigation, the secondauthor DC was supported by a meritoriousfellowship from UGC New Delhi, India.
