White spot disease caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is the major issue of huge economic destruction globally in the shrimp aquaculture industry. In the present investigation, WSSV prevalence associated with disease resistance was studied among wild black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) from four distant geographic locations along the East coast of India during 2009-2010. Results suggested that the WSSV prevalence in wild P. monodon was the highest (56.2%) in Chennai, Tamil Nadu followed by Digha, West Bengal (10.9%), Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh (0.6%) and Chilika, Orissa (0%). Quantitative data suggested that the mean copy number of WSSV among these four places was 1.4x10(6), 4.6x10(4), 1.6x10(2) and 2.3x10(2) copies g(-1) shrimp genomic DNA respectively. The disease resistant prevalence using the 71bp microsatellite DNA marker was the highest among Chilika, Orissa (63.6%) and Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh (63.5%). Higher WSSV prevalence in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and Digha, West Bengal corresponded to lower disease resistant prevalence (24% and 40.2%). Conclusively, probably collection of broodstock of P. monodon from places like Chilika and Visakhapatnam would be a much safer approach for the development of specific pathogen-resistant shrimp aquaculture.
