Abstract

For the last 3 decades the shrimp industries has been plagued by many destructive diseases, which have resulted in severe production and economic losses to many aquaculture countries. These include viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases. Recently, another emerging viral disease is threatening the shrimp culture industry in Asia. The virus originally called Cherax quadricarinatus iridovirus (CQIV) or Shrimp hemocyte iridescent virus (SHIV) and now classified within the proposed genus Decapodiridovirus and formally named as Decapod iridescent virus 1 (DIV1) by International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). The virus was first detected as early as 2014 from Cherax quadricarinatus samples in Fujian Province and farmed white leg shrimp Penaeus vannamei samples from Zhejiang Province. This review article encompasses the significance of the DIV1 and their implications for the future of the global aquaculture.
