TL;DR: Findings reveal different responses to IHHNV infection by the 2 shrimp species, and it is possible that apoptosis in P. monodon contributes to the absence of clinical disease from I HHNV.

TL;DR: Normal collagen metabolism and wound repair in two penaeid shrimp was shown to be dependent upon ascorbic acid (AsA) nutrition, and a significantly greater number of mortalities occurred among wounded AsA-deficient shrimp of both species due to poor wound repair than among wounded controls.

TL;DR: Blooms of a marine species of blue-green algae identified as Spirulina subsalsa (Cyanophyta, Oscillatoriacae) were found to be related to a particular disease syndrome in raceway-reared blue shrimp, Penaeus stylirostris, characterized by necrosis of the lining epithelium of the midgut, dorsal cecum, and hindgut gland.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that IHHNV has become established in wild populations of P. stylirostris, and perhaps in P. californiensis and Pacific white shrimp P. vannamei.

TL;DR: Case reports demonstrate the ability for WSSV to cause disease and mortality in penaeid shrimp farmed at European ambient temperatures and demonstrate potential for the introduction of WSD to new geographic areas via the movement of live crustaceans and their products, both from outside of the EU, and between EU Member and non-member countries within the European region.
