Introduction of Exotic Shrimp: Quarantine and Disease Inspection Methods

Introduction of exotic animals provides some degree of both benefit and risk. The risks of exotic shrimp introduction include the possible establishment of a disease in domestic or wild shrimp stocks. Suitable management approaches must be considered. If a disease is suspected but not clearly established because of the lack of research, it is best to consider some precautions. For intercontinen...

DNA barcoding of Mycosphaerella species of quarantine importance to Europe

The EU 7th Framework Program provided funds for Quarantine Barcoding of Life (QBOL) to develop a quick, reliable and accurate DNA barcode-based diagnostic tool for selected species on the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) A1/A2 quarantine lists. Seven nuclear genomic loci were evaluated to determine those best suited for identifying species of Mycosphaerella and/or...
