White spot disease caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is responsible for harming shrimp aquaculture industry and results in a pandemic throughout the world. Cathelicidin 5 treatment enhanced immune parameters including antioxidant enzyme activity and immune-related genes expression in shrimp Exopalaemon modestus. Shrimp treated with cathelicidin 5 and inoculated with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) exhibited a significantly lower mortality rate and lower viral VP28 amplification and expression than control. This study addresses the role of cathelicidin 5 in immune stimulatory and antiviral activities that could protect E. modestus from WSSV infection.
