Abstract
The abdominal segment deformity disease (ASDD) is a new shrimp disease reported only in cultured Penaeus vannamei in Thailand. Shrimp with ASDD have deformed abdominal segment, jagged gut line and bumpy surfaces. Similar signs were observed in cultured P. indicus in the Philippines. However, aside from the signs described for ASDD, some P. indicus showing abdominal segment deformity syndrome (ASDS) had more severe deformities up to the extent that the number of body segments was reduced due to fusion. Shrimp with fused body segment deformity (FBSD) had four instead of five pairs of legs. To account the prevalence of the deformities in P. indicus, shrimp were classified into grossly normal shrimp (NS), shrimp with abdominal segment deformity syndrome (ASDS) and shrimp with fused segments (FBSD). Out of the shrimp sampled, 83.4 ± 5.4% was NS, 10.9 ± 6.2% was ASDS and 5.7 ± 3.0% was FBSD. Morphometric characteristics of the shrimp were measured. There was no significant difference in body weight (BW) among male and female NS, ASDS and FBSD. In both sexes, total length (TL) of FBSD was significantly shorter compared to NS and ASDS. Shrimp samples were also screened to be negative for known infectious viral diseases including white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV), P. vannamei nodavirus (PvNV), Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) and Taura syndrome virus (TSV). Occurrence of ASDS and FBSD in post-larvae (PL) produced from captive and wild spawners were also determined. Based on a tank experiment, no significant difference was detected between the percentages of ASDS in PL produced from wild or captive spawners but FBSD was only noted in PL produced from the latter. Deformities generally did not affect the size of P. indicus except for the reduced length of shrimp with FBSD which when coupled with missing pleopods could lead to major economic loss for shrimp farmers if not addressed properly.

Sandfish (Holothuria scabra) as potential reservoir of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) when co-cultured with black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon)

Since the first occurrence of White Spot Disease (WSD) in 1992, it is still listed as one of the crustacean diseases by the World Organisation for Animal Health in 2022. Horizontal transmission in co-culture systems is one of the usual modes in the spread of the disease. WSD outbreak was recorded during the experimental run of the co-culture of black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) and sandfish (Holothuria scabra) in the grow-out phase. In this study, artificial infection through two cohabitation experiments were conducted to determine if H. scabra is a potential non-crustacean vector or reservoir of WSSV. Samples were checked using one-step and nested PCR for increased readout sensitivity of virus infection to investigate the horizontal transmission between prawn and sandfish. During the first cohabitation (5 days) where WSSV (+) prawn were cohabited with WSSV (-) sandfish, 100% of the prawn were one-step PCR positive for WSSV while 100% of the sandfish were nested PCR positive. Subsequently, WSSV (+) sandfish from the first cohabitation were transferred to another tank to be cohabited with WSSV (-) prawn. Sampling of both prawn and sandfish was done every 6 days post-infection (dpi). At 6 to 18 dpi, prawn and sandfish were nested PCR positive. At 25 dpi, there were no prawns left due to mortality and 1 of the 3 remaining sandfish was nested PCR positive. Based on the results, it elucidates the ability of sandfish to bioaccumulate the viral particles when cohabited with WSSV (+) prawn. Results suggest that WSSV is viable in the sandfish confirming its potential as a vector or reservoir due to the consistent nested PCR positive results of the prawn during the second cohabitation. Hence, it can be inferred that sandfish can be a potential non-crustacean vector or reservoir of WSSV for a limited period of time. -
Standardization of PCR techniques as the detection method for white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection in shrimp (Penaeus monodon)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2005-03)Several runs were conducted using the three published PCR protocols and the three DNA extraction methods. All three primer pairs designed by individual authors based on the sequence of a cloned fragment of the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) genome successfully detected the Philippine WSSV isolates. In addition, a high specificity of the assay was also obtained. CTAB and DNAzol extraction methods consistently gave a better DNA quality using the three PCR protocols. Any of the three PCR protocols can be used in the rapid and sensitive detection of WSSV in shrimp (Penaeus monodon) and crab (Episesarma vesicolor). -
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) risk factors associated with shrimp farming practices in polyculture and monoculture farms in the Philippines
Tendencia, Eleonor; ; (Elsevier, 2011)
White spot sydrome virus (WSSV) is one of the most important viral disease of shrimp. Several studies to control the disease have been done. Tank experiments identified WSSV risk factors related to the physico chemical properties of the water. A few studies reported pond level WSSV risk factors. This study identifies the risk factors associated with essentially two different farming systems: polyculture and semi-intensive monoculture of Penaeus monodon. Data were gathered from a total of 174 shrimp farmers in eight provinces of the Philippines using a structured questionnaire. Forty-seven variables related to pond history and site description, period of culture, pond preparation techniques, water management, culture methods, feed and other inputs, and biosecurity measures were investigated. In the analysis for combined monoculture and polyculture farms, feeding live molluscs was identified as important WSSV risk factors. In addition to feeding live molluscs, sharing of water source with other farms, having the same receiving and water source, larger pond size, and higher stocking density were identified as important WSSV risk factors in monoculture farms. Climate, i.e. stocking during the cold months and sludge removal and its deposition on the dikes were identified as WSSV risk factors in polyculture farms. Protective factors, listed in decreasing significance, were feeding with planktons and high mangrove to pond area ratio, both observed in the dataset with both monoculture and polyculture farms, while only the latter was observed in the dataset for monoculture farms only. No protective factor was observed in the dataset for polyculture farms. This study confirmed the negative effect of sharing water source with other farms and identified several new factors influencing WSSV infection such as feeding live molluscs increases the risk, while feeding with planktons and high mangrove to pond area ratio reduce the risk.
