Study on sensitifity of two shrimps species, there were blue shrimp (Litopenaeus stylirostris) and giant tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) against local isolat of SEMBV (systemic ectodermal and mesodermal baculovirus) has been undertaken. The objective of the study were to know sensitivity level of the two shrimp species to virus that cause serious disease namely WSDV (white spots disease virus).
