Abstract
This pathogenic study shows that the viral diseases of Chinese prawns (Penaeus chinensis, O'sbeck) is due to three kinds of viruses: epithelium envelope baculovirus ofPenaeus chinensis (EEBV-PC, detected by the authors in 1993), infections hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus, and hepatopancreatic parvo-like virus, and that the first two viruses seem to be the main pathogens of the epidemic in the northern regions in 1993.
