Abstract:

Described herein various PCR based assays that can detect and/or that causes AHPND in a nucleic acid sample obtained from one or more shrimp. In some aspects, the PCR based assays can detect one or more of the following genes: the fIgE gene from , the shrimp 18s rRNA gene, the shrimp beta actin gene from shrimp, a bacterial 16S rRNA gene from bacteria (any type of bacteria) the pirA gene, and the pirB gene. The assays described herein can be single assays or can be multiplexed such that more than one gene and/or more than one bacterial species can be detected in a single reaction. Other compositions, compounds, methods, features, and advantages of the present disclosure will be or become apparent to one having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following drawings, detailed description, and examples.
