The causative agent of white tail disease (WTD) in the giant freshwater prawn is Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV). recombinant capsid protein (CP) MrNV was previously expressed Escherichia coli, and it self-assembled into icosahedral virus-like particles (VLPs) with a diameter approximately 30 nm. Extensive studies on CP VLPs have attracted widespread attention their potential applica...

In this study, the first phase of Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) was used to characterise the major toxicants present in a Malaysian landfill leachate, using multispecies bioassay. Freshwater fish (Rasbora sumatrana), freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium lanchesteri) and tomato seeds (Lycopersicon esculentum) were chosen as test species based on local availability, as well as their broad s...
