The first project TCP/VIE/3304 was an emergency TCP project Vietnam as recipient country. The second project TCP/INT/3502 was an interregional TCP project with Colombia Ecuador Guatemala Honduras Mexico Panama and Peru from the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region and India the Islamic Republic of Iran the Philippines and Sri Lanka from the Asian region as recipient countries. A significant concern to the shrimp aquaculture sector AHPND will continue to hamper the continuity of food supply impact livelihoods and reduce national export earnings. This special issue of Asian Fisheries Science on AHPND contains some of the technical papers that were delivered during the Viet Nam Panama and Bangkok EMS/AHPND events between June 2013 and June 2016. This volume contains 23 contributions on a range of topics aimed at continuously updating the knowledge and experiences in dealing with AHPND and related topics from the perspectives of the government academe and producer sectors.
