Yellow head virus (YHV) is an invertebrate nidovirus that is highly pathogenic for marine shrimp. Nucleotide sequence analysis indicated that the YHV ORF2 gene encodes a basic protein (pI = 9.9) of 146 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 16,325.5 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence indi...
