An update on vibriosis, the major bacterial disease shrimp farmers face
Vibrios are undoubtedly the foremost cause of bacterial disease outbreaks in farmed shrimp, but the significant role of stressors is often ignored.

¿Qué es el microbioma y realmente podemos mejorarlo mediante la aplicación de productos comerciales?
El examen de la relación entre el uso de bacterias ingeridas por vía oral y la mejora de la salud animal sugiere que el vínculo es, en el mejor de los casos, correlativo.

El uso inadecuado de la PCR causa más daño que bien
La prueba de PCR es una herramienta valiosa para detectar patógenos, cuando se lleva a cabo correctamente, pero depender únicamente de ella no es consistente con una bioseguridad adecuada.

Improper use of PCR causes more harm than good
PCR testing is a valuable tool for detecting pathogens, when done correctly, but relying on it solely is not consistent with adequate biosecurity.

¿Por qué los residuos de antibióticos en el camarón de cultivo son algo importante?
Los residuos de antibióticos en los camarones cultivados y la resistencia a los antimicrobianos en general representan una amenaza, pero debemos equilibrar lo que es realista y lo que es ideal.

Why are antibiotic residues in farmed shrimp a big deal?
Antibiotic residues in farmed shrimp, and antimicrobial resistance in general, pose a threat, but we must balance what is realistic and what is ideal.

Vibrio control in shrimp farming: Part 2
Strategies to control Vibrio bacteria at aquaculture farms must revolve around limiting inputs, including those from postlarvae suppliers, those that come in with the water, those that remain in the soil between crops and those in the feed and accumulated organic matter.

Vibrio control in shrimp farming: Part 1
Control of Vibrio bacteria should focus on minimizing overall bacterial loads and the potential for horizontal transmission. The challenge for hatchery managers is identifying gaps in biosecurity and plugging them without creating niches for other potential pathogens.

Microsporidian impacts shrimp production
Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP), a microsporidian parasite widely found in Asia and other areas, is impacting aquaculture by severely retarding the growth of cultured shrimp. EHP infects the tubules of the hepatopancreas in shrimp, which damages the organ’s ability to gain nutrition from feed.
