Una actualización sobre la vibriosis, la principal enfermedad bacteriana que enfrentan los camaroneros
Los vibrios son, sin duda, la causa principal de los brotes de enfermedades bacterianas en los camarones cultivados, pero a menudo se ignora el papel significativo de los factores estresantes.

Low-salinity culture water controls Vibrios in shrimp postlarvae
In a survey of Vibrio concentrations in white shrimp postlarvae at two inland farms, hatchery postlarvae were acclimated in water with salinity reduced from 30 and 5 ppt to 2 ppt at the farms. One farm stocked postlarvae in nursery ponds, and the other stocked directly into grow-out ponds.

Field diagnostic tools for pathogenic vibrios
Since Vibrio samples often degrade during transport, the authors analyzed nucleic acids (FTA) cards as a simplified, shelf-stable collection method for the preservation of genetic material from water samples.
