Detection of shrimp viral pathogens with a simple dot-blot enzyme immunoassay protocol
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
Dot-blot nitrocellulose enzyme immunoassays (DB-NC-EIA) were developed for the detection of two shrimp viral pathogens, white-spot virus (WSV), and yellow-head virus (YHV). The assays utilized HRP-conjugated virus-specific ...
Significant diseases of molluscs in the Asia-Pacific region

Viral diseases of freshwater crayfish are poorly understood. To date, much of the research in this field has been conducted in Australia and/or on Australian freshwater crayfish species. Cherax tenuimanus, Cherax destructor ...
Major viral and bacterial diseases of cultured seabass and groupers in Southeast Asia
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
Floating net-cage culture of fish was established in the early 1970s in Southeast Asia and has become very popular since. Although several species of marine and diadromous fishes have been successfully cultured, only a few ...
Pathogenic Vibrio isolates from cultured seabass (Lates calcarifer), groupers (Epinephelus spp.) and red snappers (Lutjanus spp.)
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
Heavy mortality of cultured seabass (Lates calcarifer), groupers (Epinephelus spp.) and snappers (Lutjanus spp.) due to bacterial infection is a common problem in Malaysia. All the three species exhibited a wide range of ...
Diseases of maricultured gastropods and bivalves in Japan
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
Recently, some serious disease problems have occurred in cultured species of gastropods and bivalves in Japan. Among the current problems, amyotrophia of abalones (Nordotis species) and epizootic mortality of pearl oysters ...
