A group of Thai and Taiwanese scientists have developed a detection method for Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) in shrimp.
The researchers have also issued the free release of primers and protocols for public use to curb outbreaks of the disease, reported The Nation.
Led by Prof Timothy Flegel of Mahidol University and Taiwan's Prof C-F Lo, they have developed a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method to detect acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) bacteria.
The group decided to release, free for public access, detailed information on the sequences and protocols from their research for a PCR detection method for AHPND bacteria.
