Abstract:
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus, is the causative agent of white spot syndrome (WSS), which has been linked to cultured shrimp mass mortality in many countries. Therefore, the development of anti-WSSV agents is among the top priorities of the aquaculture sector. Here, we describe the preparation of polyamine-modified carbon quantum dots (polyamine CQDs) for the treatment of WSSV. Moreover, in vivo experiments were conducted in shrimp to confirm the anti-WSSV effect of the proposed CQD-based strategy.
