TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the causative agents of white spot syndrome in different shnMP specles are closely related and an effective diagnostlc tool is provided for screening shnmp for VSBV infections.
Effects of an extract from Phyllanthus niruri on hepatitis B and woodchuck hepatitis viruses: In vitro and in vivo studies (antiviral agent/Marmota monax/DNA polymerase/hepatitis B surface antigen/woodchuck hepatitis surface antigen)
TL;DR: An aqueous extract of the plant Phyllanthus niruri was tested for antiviral activity in woodchucks (Marmota monax) as discussed by the authors, and the extract was effective when adminis- tered i.p. in three out of four animals in reducing and within 3-6 weeks eliminating both surface antigen titer and DNA polymerase activity in serum.
