Viral Vector for Developing Oral Vaccines and Therapeutics Against Diseases in Aquatic Animals
This technology uses a genetically engineered replication deficient virus as a vector to deliver genes encoding vaccine (i.e. antigen) or therapeutic nucleic acid (e.g. RNAi molecules). The vaccine gene can be purified and used as an injectable vaccine in fin fish. In fin fish, the vaccine gene will express the antigen and immunize the vaccinated fish....

Genetic Markers For Resistance Against Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) In Shrimp
This invention describes a genetic line resistant to Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND). A gene expression analyses was conducted to measure the relative expression of genes in two populations of shrimp (susceptible and resistant lines). Differentially expressed genes have been identified as markers for resistance and/or susceptibility...

Therapeutic and Prophylactic Measures of Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) in Shrimp
Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) also known as Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) is one of the most devastating diseases for shrimp farming in the last decade. Since its discovery in 2009, AHPND caused $2.56 billion dollars worth of losses in Vietnam, $11.6 billion in Thailand, and significant losses worldwide as the disease increases its...
