Horizontal gene transfer of the <i>pirAB</i> genes responsible for Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) turns a non- <i>Vibrio</i> strain into an AHPND-positive pathogen
2019-12-20
Abstract excerpt
In the past decade, shrimp farms, particularly those established in Asia, Mexico and South America suffered from the outbreak of an emergent penaeid shrimp disease known as Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHNPD). The PirA and PirB toxins produced by plasmid pVA1 in Vibrio parahaemolyticus were reported to cause the AHPND pathology. More recent research demonstrated that V. parahaemolyticus is not the on...
