enables their storage for periods in excess of those explored in the infectivity studies outlined above. If viable virus is present in dried prawns, its ability to persist for the shelf life of the product is unknown. Any viable virus that remains is considered unlikely to enter exposure pathways.
 Because exposure of susceptible species in Australia through dried prawns and shelf‑stable prawn-based food products is unlikely, the biosecurity risk posed by WSSV associated with these products meets Australia's ALOP.
