AB -  and Infectious hypodermal and hematopoi- etic necrosis virus (IHHNV) has been in- tensively studied since 1981, when it was first implicated as an acute and lethal dis- ease affecting cultured populations of Pe- naeus stylirostris and as a naturally ac- quired, asymptomatic infection in Penaeus vannamei (see Lightner et al., 1983a). Ad- verse effects of the virus on P. vannamei was reported to be negligible. Behavioral signs of acute IHHNV disease in P. styli- rostris have not been observed for infected P. vannamei. At worst, low level mortalities were documented. No significant mortali- ties were attributable to IHHNV and it ap- peared that P. vannamei could coexist with the virus and act as a carrier (Lightner et al., 1983b; Bell and Lightner, 1984). This apparent resistance to IHHNV was a cri- terion for selection of P. vannarnei as the species of choice for culture in facilities where the virus is enzootic (Lightner, 1988). Infectivity studies comparing P. styliros- tris and P. vannamei have been carried out (Bell and Lightner, 1984). Virus was not found in tissues of endodermal origin in P. vannamei, and incidence of Cowdry type A inclusion bodies was lower for this species when controlled comparisons
