The original version of this Article contained errors in the Results section under subheading ‘Virus discovery’ where,


“The remaining 21 contigs had Top Hit E-value scores identifying them to be related most closely to strains of Gill-associated virus (GAV; 4 contigs, longest 26,235 nt), Penaeus chinensis hepandenovirus (PchiHDV; 4 contigs, longest 1,884 nt), Wenzhou shrimp virus 2 (WSV2; RdRp, hypothetical protein and G protein contigs, longest 6,891 nt), Wenzhou shrimp virus 8 (WSV8; 6 contigs, longest 4,579 nt), Beihai picorna-like virus 2 (5,277 nt), Wenzhou picorna-like virus 23 (551 nt) and Moloney murine leukaemia virus Pr180 sequence (Mo-MuLV; 2,431 nt).”


now reads:

In the Discussion section,


“The presence of near full-length ssRNA genome sequences for viruses such as gill-associated virus (GAV, 26,235 nt) and white spot virus 2 (WSV2, 10,542 nt) provided additional validation of the methods used to synthesize and assemble the transcriptome, and to its completeness as demonstrated by various metrics measuring the nature and number of endogenous gene transcripts.”


now reads:


“The presence of near full-length ssRNA genome sequences for viruses such as gill-associated virus (GAV, 26,235 nt) and two sequences (deposited on NCBI: OM219076 and OM219077, cumulative length of 10,542 nt ) with high similarity to Whenzhou shrimp virus-2 L and M segments (When-2, KM817720.2 and KM817687.1) provided additional validation of the methods used to synthesize and assemble the transcriptome, and to its completeness as demonstrated by various metrics measuring the nature and number of endogenous gene transcripts.”


“In addition to known endemic viruses, the transcriptome contained full-length or near full-length RNA transcripts related closely to the recently-described shrimp viruses WSV2 and WSV850,51 unknown until now to occur in Australian Pmonodon.”

“In addition to known endemic viruses, the transcriptome contained full-length or near full-length RNA transcripts related closely to the recently-described shrimp viruses When-2 and When-850,51 unknown until now to occur in Australian Pmonodon.”
