Abstract: In order to investigate the infection rates of White Spot Syndrome Virus( WSSV) among aquatic Litopenaeus vannamei,we tested the samples collected from different regions of Pearl River Delta using Polymerase Chain Reaction( PCR) method. The results show that WSSV infection prevailed to different extents in different regions and in different culture months in L. vannamei during 2012- 2014 in the major aquatic culture areas of th Pearl River Delta: Zhuhai,Jiangmen and Zhongshan,where L. vannamei had an evidently higher infection rate of WSSV at the larval stage than at the juvenile or adult stages.
