In contrast to expectation, selection in <em>P. xylostella</em> produced lineages with increases in virulence in both hosts; selection in <em>S. frugiperda</em> led to very low virulence and the alternating host treatment produced intermediate levels of virulence. Modest increases in virulence were accompanied by a reduction in fitness, consistent with a cost of increased investment in virulence factors. In contrast, infection in <em>S. frugiperda</em> selected for cheaters that had reduced investment in Cry toxins and high competitive fitness within hosts.

Regular WSSV monitoring is essential for disease management, and severity grades may serve as indicators for evaluating shrimp health and anticipating the risk of outbreaks. This study aimed to elucidate the relationships among WSSV replication properties, severity grades, and disease transition dynamics in whiteleg shrimp using an intramuscular challenge (Exp. 1) to establish a controlled infection and immersion challenge (Exp. 2) to simulate the natural transmission. In Exp. 1, severity grades were associated with distinct viral replication phases, with the eclipse, logarithmic, and plateau phases corresponding to G0–G1, G2–G3, and G4 grades. In Exp. 2, the transition rate from asymptomatic to ill (<em>λ<sub>ai</sub></em>) peaked at 40–48 h post-infection (hpi, 0.24), approximately 24 h earlier than the transition from ill to deceased (<em>λ<sub>id</sub></em>) at 64–72 hpi (0.28). Collectively, shrimp remained asymptomatic but shed virus during the eclipse phase (G0–G1; 0–48 hpi), whereas anorexia and moribundity appeared during the logarithmic phase (G2–G3; 48–72 hpi), followed by extensive mortality in the plateau phase (G4; 72–120 hpi). Accordingly, the results of the present study suggest that shrimp exhibiting G0–G1 grades are likely to represent chronic infection, whereas grades ≥ G2 indicate ongoing disease progression.
