Cuéllar-Anjel J., . and Morales-Covarrubias M. S., . and Varela-Mejías A., . and Elizondo-Ovares C., . Shrimp bacterial infections in Latin America: a review. pp. 76-87. ISSN 0116-6514

Abstract

Shrimp aquaculture is an important industry that experiences significant losses from Vibrio species and intracellular bacteria especially at the larval and juvenile stages. This review which covers the period from 2000 to 2015 summarizes the bacterial diseases in farmed shrimp in Latin America based on information obtained for 12 countries with semi-intensive and intensive farming systems. The presence of five diseases with variable prevalence was determined. The most prevalent disease was septic hepatopancreatic necrosis (SHPN) or vibriosis� caused by Vibrio harveyi V. parahaemolyticus V. alginolyticus and other species; followed by necrotising hepatopancreatitis (NHP) with an intracellular bacterium as the etiological agent; and then by three emerging diseases streptococcosis acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) and spiroplasmosis.
