Which pathogens [and diseases] are impacting your shrimp production? Do you think there is a good understanding of what is causing production loss or are there unknown undefined pathogen problems? Our R&D team continuously improve the existing Shrimp MultiPath pathogen detection technology and we would be very interested to understand which pathogens are impacting our industry members outside the current range of 14 that we cover. Our team are also able to characterise and define new emerging pathogens and the diseases they cause. Existing pathogens covered are: Decapod iridescent virus 1, DIV-1, White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), Yellow head virus (YHV) variants 1-7, Taura syndrome virus (TSV), Infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV), Laem-Singh necrosis virus (LSNV), Hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV), Monodon baculovirus (MBV), Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), Pir A toxin gene & Pir B toxin gene (AHPND/EMS; Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease/Early mortality syndrome), Gill associated virus (GAV), Mourilyan virus (MoV), and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP). Shrimp MultiPath differentiates between all 7 YHV variants using independent variant specific targets. HPV is also known as Hepatopancreatic densovirus (HDV). GAV is also known as YHV2.
