In vitro studies under laboratory conditions in Thailand evaluate the potential of two biocides against Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) spore extrusion. 

Un estudio demuestra una fuerte asociación entre el Síndrome de las Heces Blancas y Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei en regiones endémicas de EHP. Las estrategias de bioseguridad pueden minimizar el riesgo de propagación de patógenos en las Américas. 

Study demonstrates strong association between White Feces Syndrome and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei in EHP-endemic regions. Biosecurity strategies can minimize the risk of pathogen’s spread in the Americas. 

Un nuevo método de PCR anidado específico para el patógeno EHP de camarón cultivado puede usarse en diagnósticos de rutina y también es útil para detectar una infección de EHP de bajo grado. 

A new nested PCR method specific to farmed shrimp pathogen EHP can be used in routine diagnostics and is also useful to detect low-grade EHP infection. 

Many shrimp producers give only perfunctory attention to routine biosecurity at hatcheries and farms. A cost-effective biosecurity program for farmed shrimp requires reliable diagnostic tools to make timely decisions to control or exclude pathogens. 

Desafíos de laboratorio y un estudio caso-control se utilizaron para determinar los efectos de la infección por EHP en dos enfermedades de Vibrio: necrosis hepatopancreática aguda (AHPND) y necrosis hepatopancreática séptica (SHPN). 

Laboratory challenges and a case-control study were used to determine the effects of EHP infection on two Vibrio diseases: acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) and septic hepatopancreatic necrosis (SHPN). 

Accurate PCR testing of shrimp seedstock assures shrimp farmers that their seedstock is clean of major diseases. Ring tests verify that labs conducting PCR testing are obtaining correct, reliable and reproducible results when testing for specific shrimp diseases. 

La presencia de AHPND-Vibrio parahaemolyticus puede ser detectada tanto en muestras de ADN fecal como en caldo bacteriano enriquecido con muestras de caldo de enriquecimiento que muestran mayor sensibilidad. 

Arun Dhar, Ph.D. tratará de llenar los "zapatos grandes" del Dr. Donald Lightner en el Laboratorio de Patología Acuícola de la Universidad de Arizona, donde se diagnosticó la enfermedad EMS del camarón. 

This year’s Aquaculture America in San Antonio, Texas, provided significant learning and networking opportunities. It successfully brought together 14 U.S. aquaculture organizations and more than 1,600 participants from Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. 

Arun Dhar, Ph.D. will attempt to fill the “big shoes” of Dr. Donald Lightner at the University of Arizona’s Aquaculture Pathology Laboratory, where the shrimp disease EMS was diagnosed. 

At this year’s GOAL conference in Guangzhou, China, leading animal welfare and aquatic animal disease experts will share knowledge about how producers can gird their operations. EMS, EHP, streptococcosis and sea lice will be addressed, as will the latest in area management. 

The nonprofit organization established by the leaders of the Global Aquaculture Alliance is answering the growing need for targeted aquaculture training. Its newly unveiled global online education platform will enable the further development of a sustainable global aquaculture industry.
