Binding of paramyxoviruses to gangliosides on the surface of Vero cells;

Development of an oil-emulsion Inactivated Vaccine against Goose Paramyxovirus Disease;

In recent years,the outbreak of prawn virus disease has brought about a drastic drop in annual yield of Chinese cultured prawn and caused a great economic loss.

The pathological findings of the newly reported goose paramyxovirus infection were as follows: haemorrhage and ulceration of intestine mucosa, necrosis of spleen and pancreas, atrophy of lymphoid oragns, and edema and hyperemia of brain.

Through the examinations of pathogens of the violent epidemic disease of cultured Penaeus chinensis and Penaeus Japonicus in1996 in Hebei and Shangdong Provinces,China,and the artificial infection test,a novel pathogen,or paramyxovirus like virus,was discovered from the diseased Penaeid shrimps and shown to be a main pathogen of the outbreak epidemic disease of Penaeid shrimps in our country.
