Desarrollo de un nuevo PCR en tiempo real para la detección y cuantificación de NHPB
Los autores describen los ensayos de PCR convencional y de PCR en tiempo real basados en el gen flgE de NHPB como métodos alternativos para la detección y cuantificación de NHPB en muestras de camarones y asociadas con camarones, incluyendo artemia.

Development of new and real-time PCR for detection and quantification of NHPB
Authors describe conventional PCR and real-time PCR assays based on the NHPB flgE gene as alternative methods for the detection and quantification of NHPB in shrimp and shrimp-associated samples, including artemia. This newly described method will be an additional diagnostic tool for confirmation of this pathogen.

Saudi Arabia developing effective farmed shrimp biosecurity strategy
Biosecurity strategies adopted by the shrimp industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have resulted in historical production in 2015 and a similar forecast for 2016, and are a significant step towards the long-term goal of sustainable aquaculture.

Study: TSV exposure may lessen YHV effects in white shrimp
Since Taura syndrome virus was in the Americas when yellow head virus become pandemic in Asia, it is possible TSV prevented shrimp in the Western Hemisphere from infection by materials from Asia containing YHV. To test this idea, the authors evaluated the viral interactions in shrimp preinfected with TSV and then challenged with YHV.

Colombian shrimp research associates TSV, NHP selection, resistance
In an NHP (necrotizing hepatopancreatitis) challenge test, shrimp from a Colombian breeding program had higher resistance and 30 percent greater survival than a control line of Taura syndrome virus-free shrimp.
