The virucidal effect of pH and salinity on Penaeus monodon baculovirus (MBV) was investigated by water borne inoculated methods exposing PL12 Penaeus semisulcatus for 10 hours and observing for 10 days at temperature 28- 30°C. For this purpose, one thousand virus free PL12 of P. semisulcatus were divided into five groups and each group placed in a 10 L plastic basin containing chlorine-treated ...

Viral pathogens are major causes of outbreaks in shrimp farms throughout the world. Monodon baculovirus has been known to be invasive in 85-100% of the shrimp hatcheries, in early or late stages of shrimp. Three-hundred and sixty juvenile of Litopenaeus vannamei with average (±SD) size of 7.99±0.54 g and 3600 post larvae 10-15 were prepared from Shrimp Research Station located in Helleh and 3 h...

We describe a duplex real-time PCR assay using TaqMan probes for the simultaneous detection of monodon baculovirus (MBV) and hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV). Both MBV and HPV are shrimp enteric viruses that infect intestinal and hepatopancreatic epithelial cells. Both viruses can cause significant mortalities and depressed growth in infected larval, postlarval, and early juvenile stages of sh...

Prevalence status of white spot disease (WSD), caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and Monodon baculovirus (MBV), was studied in different prawn farms in North and South-24 paragana districts of West Bengal, specifically in the areas previously affected by WSD. In total 283 samples of giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon, Indian white prawn P. indicus and giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachiu...

Bacteria phenotypically resembling members of the phylogenetically distinct planctomycete group of the domain Bacteria were isolated from postlarvae of the giant tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon. A selective medium designed in the light of planctomycete antibiotic resistance characteristics was used for this isolation. Planctomycetes were isolated from both healthy and monodon baculovirus-infected ...

Yellow-head virus (YHV), a highly virulent virus of cultured penaeid shrimp, was originally isolated from the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon in Thailand. It was initially described as a baculovirus, but was recently reported to be a n RNA-containing virus. The present study reaffirms the genome of highly purified YHV to be an unsegmented single-stranded RNA with negative polarity and of app...

the objective of our study was to explain the histopathological changes of monodon baculovirus (mbv) in hepatopancreas and midgut tissues of the cultured penaeus vannamei. five-hundred and forty juvenile of p. vannamei with average size of 7.99±0.54 g and 3600 post larvae 10-15 were distributed to 18 glass aquariums (50×50×60cm) with 100l well aerated water per each aquarium as water borne mbv ...
