The causative agent of myonecrosis affecting cultured Penaeus vannamei in Brazil was demonstrated to be a virus after purification of the agent from infected shrimp tissues, and may represent a new dsRNA virus family that infects invertebrate hosts.

It is shown that an AHPND-causing strain of V. parahaemolyticus contains a 70-kbp plasmid with a postsegregational killing system, and that the ability to cause disease is abolished by the natural absence or experimental deletion of the plasmids-encoded homologs of the Photorhabdus insect-related toxins PirA and PirB.

A viral disease associated with mortalities in hatchery-reared postlarvae of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
During mortality outbreaks in hatchery-reared Macrobrachium rosenbergii postlarvae (PL) in Guadeloupe Island (French West Inbes) during 1997, an associated viral disease was discovered and the agent…
