PCR-based tools aid biosecurity via detection of WSSV
Offering high sensitivity and specificity, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are the most accepted molecular method for white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) detection.

Natural feed additive improves shrimp productivity
The digestive systems of shrimp are main entry points for bacterial and viral pathogens, and unfavorable microflora. Natural feed additives that combine different actions have proven effective in improving survival where shrimp are exposed to bacterial pathogens.

One-step PCR for white spot syndrome detection
A rapid PCR assay for detection of WSSV was based on the nested, two-step PCR procedure recommended in the Manual of Diagnostic Tests for Aquatic Animals.
