Viral diseases
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2004)
Some viral infections are serious diseases of groupers causing heavy mortalities. In most cases, larval stages are the most susceptible stage. With the carnivorous nature of groupers, they can readily ingest viral pathogens ...
Diseases in farmed mud crabs Scylla spp.: Diagnosis, prevention, and control.
(Aquaculture Dept., Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2004-12)
Aquaculture production has suffered many set-backs due to the occurrence of diseases. Many of the diseases are caused by infectious organisms that are difficult to detect and need sophisticated instruments for diagnosis, ...
Transboundary shrimp viral diseases with emphasis on white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and taura syndrome virus (TSV)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2004)
Crustaceans, specifically the cultured penaeid shrimp, are adversely affected by a number of diseases. Crustacean diseases that have significant social or economic impact on culture are mostly infectious in nature and many ...
Use of bacteria as biological control agent against microbial diseases in shrimp (Penaeus monodon) and crab (Scylla serrata) hatcheries: Part III. Application of probiotics in culture water and surfaces
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2005-03)
Strain C1 is a bacterial isolate, which can reduce luminous bacteria in seawater, and thus a potential probiotic in crab larval rearing system. A delivery method through colonized substrates like plastic beads, window pane ...
Use of bacteria as biological control agent against microbial diseases in shrimp (Penaeus monodon) and crab (Scylla serrata) hatcheries: Part I. Isolation and selection of bacteria for biological control in crustacean hatcheries
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2005-03)
A study aimed at obtaining a biological control agent against bacterial diseases of hatchery-reared shrimps and crabs was conducted. Bacteria were isolated from crustacean rearing environments where luminescent vibriosis ...
Chlorine disinfection against hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) infection in shrimp (Penaeus monodon) larvae
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2005-03)
Experiments were undertaken to determine the efficacy of chlorine as a disinfectant in inhibiting HPV infection among P. monodon postlarvae (PLs). Based on histopathological examination, 50 ppm and 200 ppm active chlorine ...
Production of polyclonal antibodies (PAbs) against monodon baculovirus (MBV) and hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2005-03)
Monodon baculovirus (MBV) and hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) are two of the viral pathogens, which infect penaeid shrimps in the Philippines. Polyclonal antibodies (PAbs) to MBV and HPV were raised by immunization of ...
Use of bacteria as biological control agent against microbial diseases in shrimp (Penaeus monodon) and crab (Scylla serrata) hatcheries: Part II. Application of probiotics in natural food and artificial feeds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2005-03)
The suitability of probiotic bacterial incorporation into artificial diets was tested with inferior results due to the interference of heat-resistant starins that are associated with several feed ingredients. However, ...
Standardization of diagnostic methods for monodon baculovirus (MBV) and hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV): Establishment of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against MBV and HPV
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2005-03)
Monodon baculovirus (MBV) and hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) remain as two of the serious pathogens that infect black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in the Philippines. It is, therefore, necessary to prevent the spread ...
Development of immunological indices for monitoring health status in shrimp (Penaeus monodon)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2005-03)
Some hemolymph parameters were determined as non-invasive early-warning indicators of health status in black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). These included total hemocyte count (THC), respiratory burst activity, phenoloxidase ...
