| biochemical changes and tissue distribution of enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (ehp) in naturally and experimentally ehp-infected whiteleg shrimp, litopenaeus vannamei (boone, 1931), in india. | stunted growth in pond-reared litopenaeus vannamei was observed in different farms located in tamil nadu and andhra pradesh, india. no mortality was associated with stunted growth. pcr assay on these samples revealed the presence of enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (ehp) in stunted shrimp. tissue distribution of ehp in naturally and experimentally infected shrimp was studied by pcr and histology. histological examination revealed the presence of ehp in hepatopancreas and gut, but not in other organs. ... | 2017 | 27524805 |
| high prevalence of enterocytozoon hepatopenaei in shrimps penaeus monodon and litopenaeus vannamei sampled from slow growth ponds in india. | hepatopancreatic microsporidiosis in cultivated litopenaeus vannamei and penaeus monodon is caused by the newly emerged pathogen enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (ehp). it has been detected in shrimp cultured in china, vietnam and thailand and is suspected to have occurred in malaysia and indonesia and to be associated with severely retarded growth. due to retarded shrimp growth being reported at farms in the major grow-out states of tamilnadu, andhra pradesh and odisha in india, shrimp were sampled ... | 2016 | 27503918 |
