Responsibility
The impact of diseases led some Asian shrimp farming countries to develop biofloc and recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) production technologies. Treating incoming water for culture operations and wastewater treatment are biosecurity measures for disease prevention and control.
Health & Welfare
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.
Health & Welfare
Since severe lymphoid organ necrosis can also appear as a result of WSSV infection, do not use this type of lesion as the sole feature to diagnose YHV.
