A 2-year survey (1993-95) on diseases of cultured shrimp Penoeus monodon and
FI indicus in shrimp farms of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, South India, revealed a high prevalence
of Monodon baculovirus (MBV) infection. Secondary bacterial and epicommensal infections
were also noted in many cases. Prevalence of MBV infection was found to be as high as 42% in a
few localities. Characteristic histopathological changes in the hepatopancreas and lymphoid organ
are described. This is the first detailed report of MBV infection from this geographical region, and
the first that reports P. indicus as a new host of this baculovirus
