Electron microscopy and histological changes in shrimp infected with yellow head virus genotype 1 (YHV). (A) TEM of negative-strained YHV virions (Scale bars = 100 nm); (B) LO tissue of moribund shrimp from YHV immersion challenged P. vannamei at day 5 showing numerous pyknotic nuclei (arrows), karyorrhectic nucleic and cytoplasmic inclusion (arrow heads); (C) Hemolymph from normal and YHV infected shrimp identified by staining hemolymph smears; (D) Gills of YHV infected shrimp stained with H&E in rapidly fixed and stained (3 h) whole mounts.
