; (American Society for Microbiology, 2019-11-14)
We report the first draft genome sequence of an acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND)-causing Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain isolated from a Penaeus vannamei sample from the Philippines. The strain carries the ...
Draft genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain PH698, infecting penaeid shrimp in the Philippines
; ; ; ; ; ; ; Amar, Edgar C. (American Society for Microbiology, 2019-11-21)
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019-11-21)
The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains in diverse settings has been reported globally. In the Philippine shrimp aquaculture industry, antibiotics are used for the treatment of bacterial diseases during the ...
Artificial substratum consisting of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate-based biodegradable plastic improved the survival and overall performance of postlarval tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon
Ludevese-Pascual, Gladys ; Laranja, Joseph Leopoldo ; Amar, Edgar ; ; (Wiley, 2019)
; Laranja, Joseph Leopoldo ; Amar, Edgar ; ; (Wiley, 2019)
The use of artificial substratum consisting of poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate (PHB)‐based biodegradable plastic for penaeid shrimp culture was investigated in the present study. The survival of postlarval tiger shrimp Penaeus ...
Subtracted transcriptome profile of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) that survived WSSV challenge
; ; ; Amar, Edgar C. ; (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)
; (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)
There is increased interest in the development of virus-resistant or improved shrimp stock because production is currently hindered by outbreaks and limited understanding of shrimp defense. Recent advancement now allows ...
Mortality of pond-cultured Litopenaeus vannamei associated with acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection in the Philippines

; ; ; Faisan, Joseph P., Jr. ; ; ; ; ; (Japanese Society of Fish Pathology, 2017)
Mortalities of up to 60% were observed in pond-cultured Litopenaeus vannamei in Bohol, Philippines. Histopathological examination revealed typical acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) pathology. PCR test generated ...
Growth, plasma cortisol, liver and kidney histology, and resistance to vibriosis in brown-marbled grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus fed onion and ginger
; Amar, Edgar C. ; Faisan, Joseph P., Jr. (Bioflux, 2013)
; Faisan, Joseph P., Jr. (Bioflux, 2013)
The health-promoting effects of dietary onion and ginger were studied in brown marbled grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus. An eight-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary onion and ginger on ...
Antibacterial properties of the microalgae Chaetoceros calcitrans
; ; ; ; ; Amar, Edgar C. (Asian Fisheries Society, 2012)
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2012)
The antibacterial properties of the microalgae Chaetoceros calcitrans were assessed. Samples of C. calcitrans were first extracted in methanol, and then in different organic solvents of increasing polarity, n-hexane (n-Hex), ...
Induction of immunity and resistance to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) by synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide and bacterial DNA
Amar, Edgar C. ; Faisan, Joseph P., Jr. (University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2012)
; Faisan, Joseph P., Jr. (University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2012)
Shrimps like all invertebrates are believed to lack true adaptive immunity but recent evidence indicate that they can be protected against pathogenic organisms by priming their immune system with immunostimulatory substances. ...
Improved resistance against White Spot Virus (WSV) infection in tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon by combined supplementation of peptidoglycan and mannan oligosaccharide (MOS)
; ; Amar, Edgar C. ; ; (Bioflux Society, 2014)
; ; (Bioflux Society, 2014)
An eight-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of combined supplementation of peptidoglycan and mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) in tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon. Tiger shrimp (0.29 ± 0.02 g) were fed diets ...
A probiotic Bacillus strain containing amorphous poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) stimulates the innate immune response of Penaeus monodon postlarvae
Laranja, Joseph Leopoldo ; Amar, Edgar C. ; Ludevese-Pascual, Gladys ; ; ; ; (Elsevier, 2017)
; Amar, Edgar C. ; Ludevese-Pascual, Gladys ; ; ; ; (Elsevier, 2017)
In this study, the PHB-accumulating Bacillus sp. JL47 strain (capable of accumulating 55% PHB on cell dry weight) was investigated for its effects on the immune response of giant tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) postlarvae ...
