  Cuatro cepas de AHPND identificadas en granjas de camarón de América Latina

  Se conocen dos genes de virulencia que codifican una toxina binaria de Photorhabdus relacionada con insectos que causa la enfermedad de necrosis hepatopancreática aguda en camarones. Las patogenicidades de estas cepas de V. campbellii fueron evaluadas mediante infección de laboratorio

  Four AHPND strains identified on Latin American shrimp farms

  Two virulence genes are known to encode a binary photorhabdus insect-related toxin that causes acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease in shrimp. The pathogenicities of these V. campbellii strains were evaluated through laboratory infection and subsequent histological examination in P. vannamei shrimp.

  PCR methods characterize AHPND V.p isolates

  In analyzing the plasmid sequence from the whole genome sequences of AHPND V. parahaemolyticus (V.p) isolates, researchers identified a clear geographical variation within the plasmid, and developed PCR methods to characterize AHPND V.p isolates as either Mexico-type or Southeast Asia-type.
