Analyzing the metabolic capabilities of a Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain that causes Early Mortality Syndrome in shrimp
2017-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Shrimp disease results in significant annual economic loss to the global aquaculture industry. Since 2009, the primary causative agent of shrimp disease has been Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) strains that cause Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) or acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND). EMS strains have acquired a plasmid via horizontal gene transfer that encodes an insect toxin, which is responsible for the...
