RETRACTION

Volume 84, no. 20, p. 10844–10851, 2010. The authors and the journal hereby retract this article. After publication, this article was found to have multiple images that were unacceptably manipulated by Apiruck Watthanasurorot, a clear violation of ASM's ethical standards. In Fig. 6B, the 40S panels are duplicated from Fig. 5B, and PlgC1qR bands in lanes 1 to 3 seem to be duplicated in lanes 7 to 9 in reverse orientation. In Fig. 7A and Fig. 8A, the 40S panels seem to be duplicated from Fig. 2A (lanes 6 to 11), in both forward (lanes 7 to 12) and reverse (lanes 1 to 6) orientations. WSSV VP28 lanes 9 and 10 seem to be duplicated in lanes 11 and 12 for Fig. 8A. Since the integrity of the data as presented was compromised and A. Watthanasurorot cannot provide reliable original files for these figures, this publication is retracted in its entirety. We apologize to the readers of Journal of Virology and regret any inconvenience this causes. A. Watthanasurorot could not be reached when asked to agree to the retraction.
