This inability to detect EHP-infected individuals can result in the rapid spread of this parasite throughout the shrimp stocks.
Diagnostic protocols, based on ISH and PCR, developed in the
present study have proven to be both specific and sensitive, thus
providing valuable tools for routine diagnosis and monitoring of
shrimp stocks, pond environments and aquaculture commodities.
To study the EHP infection within the cells by in situ hybridization, and developed a
specific PCR.
