The prevalence of white spot syndrome virus in wild mud crabs in Coringa mangroves was studied at molecular level. 357 crab samples were tested through PCR at three sampling stations-Kakinada Bay, Coringa and Gaderu. Of them, 58 were positive (16%) and 299 negative in the first step PCR whereas 132 were positive (37%) and 225 were negative in the nested PCR. At Kakinada Bay, there was 16.4 % positivity in first step PCR and 36% in the second step, whereas in Coringa creek it was 14.4% and 37.3% in the first and second step respectively. In Gaderu creek the crabs were 17.1% positive in the first step PCR and 37.6% in the second step. 31.8% were positive to the virus in 2007 and in 2008 it was 36.09%. WSSV prevalence was more in smaller size group (0-4.0cm) i.e., about 52% in 2007 and 2008 and decreased with increasing size groups (36.6% in 2007 and 31.7% in 2008 in the size group (5.0-8.0cm). In 9.0-13cm size class it was 29.69% in 2007 and 36.09% in 2008
