dc.description.abstractHeavy mortalities were observed among pond-cultured Penaeus monodon in the provinces of Bohol, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. Vibrio harveyi was isolated purely from the hepatopancreas and lymphoid organs of affected shrimp and histopathological observations indicated a severe bacterial infection in the shrimp. Majority of the samples gave negative results in the one-step PCR for the detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). However, nested PCR produced amplicons specific for WSSV DNA from most of the shrimp tested. These results suggest that shrimp were infected dually with V. harveyi and WSSV, but the major causative agent of the present mortalities was V. harveyi.en

We are very grateful to Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for partially funding this research in the form of training grant to the first author during the fiscal year 2000. We thank the shrimp farmers who gave us access to their farms for sampling and to Y. Kato, M. Paner and K.M. Baguisi for their technical assistance.en
