Detection and phylogenetic profiling of the RNA2 fragments of noda virus associated with white tail disease in Malaysian Macrobrachium rosenbergii de man by RT-PCR

The detection of nodavirus using RT-PCR and histopathological assay was carried out in Malaysian Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Nodaviruses, which were originally isolated from insects, are small non enveloped riboviruses with two single-stranded RNA genomes, RNA1 and RNA2. The 3.1 kb RNA1 gene encodes...
