Description
Ramya Kumar and a large team characterize in 2026 the Vibrio strain behind translucent post-larvae disease in Pacific white shrimp, a major farmed species. Disease outbreaks keep battering shrimp farming, and this newer syndrome kills young shrimp in hatcheries, so the team isolated strain P40.49 from infected animals.
Experimental infection confirmed the strain causes the disease. Whole genome sequencing found a plasmid of about 69 thousand bases tied to the syndrome, and stomach and intestine tissue proved best for early detection at six hours after infection. Four unique genes on the plasmid may serve as added detection markers.
