In an NHP (necrotizing hepatopancreatitis) challenge test, shrimp from a Colombian breeding program had higher resistance and 30 percent greater survival than a control line of Taura syndrome virus-free shrimp.
Health & Welfare
A rapid lateral-flow immunoassay using monoclonal antibody combinations can identify necrotizing hepatopancreatitis (NHP) infection in less than 15 minutes.
Health & Welfare
Based on histopathology and ultrastructure, the etiology of necrotizing hepatopancreatitis (NHP) in Pacific white shrimp was related to an intracellular bacterium.
