Determination of the infectious nature of the agent of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome affecting penaeid shrimp

TL;DR: AHPNS has a bacterial etiology and Koch's Postulates have been satisfied in laboratory challenge studies with the isolate, which has been identified as a member of the Vibrio harveyi clade, most closely related to V. parahemolyticus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogenicity of a baculovirus infection causing white spot syndrome in cultured penaeid shrimp in Taiwan

TL;DR: The close resemblance in external signs and viral morphology between spontaneously diseased and experimentally infected shrimp indicated that the rod-shaped virus may be the main causative agent of the disease characterized by white spot syndrome in Taiwan.
Journal ArticleDOI

The white spot syndrome virus DNA genome sequence.

TL;DR: The collective information on WSSV and the phylogenetic analysis on the viral DNA polymerase suggest that W SSV differs profoundly from all presently known viruses and that it is a representative of a new virus family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune gene discovery by expressed sequence tag analysis of hemocytes and hepatopancreas in the Pacific White Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, and the Atlantic White Shrimp, L. setiferus.

TL;DR: Analysis of cDNA libraries indicates that EST approaches are effective for immune gene discovery in shrimp and that the diversity of these PCR-generated libraries would support full-scale EST collection.
Journal ArticleDOI

A non-occluded, systemic baculovirus that occurs in cells of ectodermal and mesodermal origin and causes high mortality in the black tiger prawn Penaeus monodon.

TL;DR: In the course of experimental infection of Penaeus monodon wlth yellow-head virus [YHV) for virus isolation and purification, 1 batch of prawns yielded hemolymph fractions dominated by a previously undescribed non-occluded baculovirus rather than YHV, placing this virus in the family Baculoviridae, subfamily NudibacULovirinae as PmNOBII.
