higher than that of the RT-LAMP method. Furthermore, real-time RTPCR
exhibited no cross-reaction with SPF shrimp, TSV, YHV and IMNVinfected
penaeid shrimp, indicating that real-time RT-PCR is specific to
CMNV. The primers and probe designed in our study were sensitive to
CMNV isolated from CMNV infected penaeid shrimp.
