White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is a disease that affects several species of crustaceans, causing high mortality rates, which has been causing great economical losses in shrimp farming regions. The aims of this study were to standardize the Real Time PCR methodology for WSSV detection, to genotype geographical isolates of the virus and to isolate differentially expressed genes in farmed shrimps infected with WSSV. Samples positives and negatives by nested PCR were analyzed by Real Time PCR. The viral load of the samples was determined and some samples negative by nested PCR were positive by Real Time PCR, with low viral load. The pattern of three minisatellite regions, the presence of a deletion and a transposase were compared in virus isolated from shrimp collected in Santa Catarina and Bahia. All Santa Catarina samples had the same pattern for the minisatellites analyzed. Bahia samples showed a different pattern for the loci, indicating that there are two different WSSV genotypes in Brazil. Brazilian isolates have a 10,780 bp deletion in ORF 23/24 and do not have a transposase sequence. The repeat number pattern for the three minisatellite analyzed was different between the Brazilian isolates and isolates from America’s countries. However, when analyzing only ORF 94, South Brazil, Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras and Panama have all more than nine repeats, while Northeast Brazil and USA samples have less than nine repeats. This similarity of repeats could be related to a similarity in virulence. Our results show that WSSV found in Bahia and Santa Catarina States have originated from different sources of contamination or the virus have undergone mutations during time. mRNA was extracted from gills of shrimps infected and non-infected with WSSV, reverse transcribed and a suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was performed. Library 1 (induced genes) has 300 clones, which formed 36 contigs and 36 singlets. Of these sequences, 69 (88,4%) are similar to sequences in GeneBank. Library 2 (repressed genes), has 403 clones, which formed 23 contigs and 36 singlets, and 40 sequences (75,5%) are similar to known sequences. These genes were organized in groups, according to their functions. Among the induced genes there are genes involved in ATP synthesis, cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, metabolism and molecule transport. Among the repressed genes, there are genes involved in antibacterial defence, signal transduction and nucleic acids biosynthesis. WSSV infection seems to alter several metabolic routes.
