Journal ArticleDOI
Development of in situ hybridization and PCR assays for the detection of Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP), a microsporidian parasite infecting penaeid shrimp.
TL;DR: A PCR assay from this 18S rRNA gene region is shown to be specific to EHP, did not react to 2 other parasitic pathogens, an amoeba and the cotton shrimp disease microsporidium, nor to genomic DNA of various crustaceans including polychaetes, squids, crabs and krill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific genomic DNA fragment analysis of different geographical clinical samples of shrimp white spot syndrome virus

TL;DR: The results highlighted the genetic relatedness of all the WSSV clinical samples with the possible exception of a series of Texas viral samples which could be distinguished from the other geographic samples in some of the PCR-based tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV)-related sequences in the genome of the black tiger prawn Penaeus monodon from Africa and Australia.
TL;DR: An infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV)-related sequence within the shrimp genome in populations of Penaeus monodon from Africa and Australia is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and quantification of infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus in penaeid shrimp by real-time PCR.
TL;DR: The quantitative analysis showed that wild-caught, large juvenile Penaeus stylirostris collected from the Gulf of California (Mexico) in 1996 were naturally infected with I HHNV and contained up to 10(9) copies of IHHNV microg(-1) of DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and application of monoclonal antibodies for the detection of white spot syndrome virus of penaeid shrimp.
TL;DR: Monoclonal antibodies were produced against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) of penaeid shrimp and did not detect any serological differences among WSSV isolates from China, Thailand, India, Texas, South Carolina or Panama.
