Experimental methodologies and diagnostic procedures for acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND)

Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is an emerging disease that has caused mass mortality in shrimp in many countries in Asia and South America. A new strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VpAHPND), carrying one or more extrachromosomal ~70 kbp plasmids that encode homologues of the Photorh...

A new strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VpAHPND), carrying one or more extrachromosomal ~70 kbp plasmids that encode homologues of the Photorhabdus insect-related (Pir) binary toxins (PirAvp and PirBvp) is the causative agent of AHPND.
