Journal ArticleDOI

RT-nested PCR detection of Mourilyan virus in Australian Penaeus monodon and its tissue distribution in healthy and moribund prawns.

TL;DR: An RT-nested PCR test that can reliably detect between 2 and 6 copies of a synthetic MoV RNA is described and it is shown that in prawns with extremely low-level infections, haemocytes and gill tissue proved slightly more reliable in detecting MoVRNA following nested PCR.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA constructs expressing long-hairpin RNA (lhRNA) protect Penaeus monodon against White Spot Syndrome Virus

TL;DR: Silencing by lhRNA expressed in vivo, confirms the presence of a functional microRNA pathway in shrimp and can be a good prophylactic approach in commercial shrimp hatcheries to protect high value brooders and to check the vertical transmission of virus, which is a major route of viral entry.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA interference-based therapeutics for shrimp viral diseases.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge in the therapeutic application of RNAi for combating viral diseases in shrimp and presents a stepwise strategy for the development of therapeutic RNAi.
Journal ArticleDOI

A TaqMan real-time RT-PCR for quantifying Mourilyan virus infection levels in penaeid shrimp tissues.

TL;DR: The TaqMan real-time quantitative RT-PCR assay should find use in high-throughput screening applications to detect MoV in broodstock and postlarvae used for culture or breeding purposes and for tracking changes in infection levels during shrimp grow-out.
Journal ArticleDOI

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection in tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon: A non-lethal histopathological rapid diagnostic method using paraffin and frozen sections

TL;DR: The potential of a non-lethal and rapid histopathological diagnostic method to document WSSV infection, using the eyestalk or pleopod, when expensive DNA based diagnostics are not available or affordable is discussed.
