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
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
There have been relatively few studies on the diseases of molluscs in the Asian region, and those that have been carried out are often difficult to access. Therefore, our current knowledge of mollusc diseases in Asia is, ...
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 ...
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 ...

Lymphocystis-like disease was observed in the pond cultured juveniles of tiger grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) at a farm in Penang Island, Malaysia in May 1999. Clinical signs were abnormally dark colored patches with ...
Emerging shrimp diseases and innovations to prevent their spread
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
The number of diseases affecting cultivated penaeid shrimp has increased steadily with expansion and intensification of large-scale commercial cultivation. In the 1990s the most serious losses have occurred from the emergence ...
Histopathology of a novel melanized lesion in the branchiostegite of cultured penaeid shrimps
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
During routine investigations for white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp farms of Kundapur in the West Coast of India, a novel melanized proliferative lesion was observed in the branchiostegite of Penaeus monodon and ...
