PirVP genes causing AHPND identified in a new Vibrio species (Vibrio punensis) within the commensal Orientalis clade
Wednesday, November 13, 2019
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) has extended rapidly, causing alarming shrimp mortalities. Initially, the only known causative agent was Vibrio parahaemolyticus carrying a plasmid coding for the mortal toxins Pir VP . Recently, it has been found that the plasmid and hence the disease, could be transferr ...

Conjugative transfer of the pVA1-Type plasmid carrying the pirABvp genes results in the formation of new AHPND-causing Vibrio
Wednesday, November 13, 2019
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) has caused sharp declines in aquaculture industries of whiteleg shrimp Penaeus vannamei in Asia and the Americas since 2010. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V. campbellii, V. owensii, and V. punensis have been proved to cause AHPND.
