INTRODUCTION
White spot disease and subshell necrosis - hematopoietic organ are two common diseases that cause great damage in aquaculture, especially shrimp. White spot disease is caused bywhite spot syndrome virus (WSSV). The disease has a high rate of spread and mortality rate (80%). Meanwhile, subcapsular and hematopoietic necrosis is caused by the Infectious Hypodermal & Hematopoietic Necrosis (IHHNV) virus. The disease causes shrimp death very quickly, 10 - 20 days after release. Therefore, early detection of pathogens present during the farming and care process is essential to limit damage caused by the disease.
TopSPEC® WSSV/IHHNV qPCR KIT is a multiplex real-time PCR kit that simultaneously detects white spot disease and myonecrosis in shrimp. The kit has many outstanding advantages such as a simple, fast process, high sensitivity and specificity.
