AB  - Problem statement: White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is one of 
the most disastrous pathogens in shrimp culture, having caused high mortality 
in many cultured shrimp species. It is well known that the most important step 
of viral infection is cell attachment. Approach:Therefore determining 
the binding activity of shrimp cells to WSSV is an important to evaluate anti-infection 
ability and understanding the procedure of a viral infection. So this study aims 
to analyze binding activity of cell membrane with WSSV in shrimp of Fenneropenaeus 
chinensis (F. chienesis). WSSV was used to stimulate F. chinensis and binding 
activity in gills, muscle and hepatopancreas with virus within the procession 
of WSSV was measured. Results:The results showed that binding 
activity in gills with WSSV within infection stage (0-96 h) had no significant 
change. The highest binding activity was attained after infection 24-48 h in muscle. 
The binding activity in hepatopancreas with WSSV was lower during infection stage 
(0-96 h). Conclusion/Recommendation: The higher binding activity 
of WSSV to gills and muscle indicated that gills and muscle are the importance 
target tissue for WSSV infection. This suggested that receptor of WSSV existed 
in gills and muscle.
