Antiviral immunity and protection in penaeid shrimp

摘要: Over the past few decades reliance on cultured shrimp for food production has increased greatly. From 1970 to 2006, of cultivated 350-fold, while yields from capture fisheries only 3-fold [1]. By end this period, both industries were close parity Despite remarkable growth, aquaculture not been without problems and during early 1990’s it was estimated that approximately 40% world capacity being lost due newly emerging diseases. In economic value, equated over US$3 billion [2,3]. Other estimates put value loss in fifteen years up 2001 at around US$15 [4]. Viral diseases have contribute 60% annual losses global productivity Much result major epidemics viral outbreaks. The first these events occurred mid late 1980’s Taiwan, with outbreaks Monodon baculovirus (MBV). Subsequent this, Asian farms impacted by Yellow-head virus (YHV) Americas affected infectious hypodermal hematopoietic necrosis (IHHNV) Taura syndrome (TSV) [4-9]. largest impact all caused white spot (WSSV), originating Asia spreading America’s decade [8].
