Evaluation of point of care (POC) tests for White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV)

The CSIRO Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) Fish Diseases Laboratory (AFDL), in collaboration with Biosecurity Queensland, conducted a laboratory-based evaluation of commercially available point-of-care (POC) tests designed to detect white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in the field. The...

Need

Australian prawn production at around 22 kilotonnes is valued in excess of $250 million. Clearly, the prawn fishery is an important natural resource for Australia that is also the basis for a significant export industry. In addition, prawn aquaculture is a significant industry in northern Australia and accounts for around 14% of the total volume of Australian prawn production. Infectious myonecrosis is a viral disease that has caused significant disease outbreaks and mortalities in farmed Penaeus vannamei in Brazil and South-East Asia, including Indonesia. While P. vannamei is considered the principal host, experimental infection of P. stylirostris (Pacific blue shrimp) and P. monodon (black tiger shrimp) has been reported. The susceptibility of other shrimp/prawn species is unknown. Information on the susceptibility of prawn species important to Australia, including banana prawns (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis), brown tiger prawns (P. esculentus) is lacking. This project would provide information on the susceptibility of two important species of Australian prawns to exotic IMNV. Such information is important to policy-makers, regulators and primary producers with respect to relevant biosecurity issues at all levels of government.

Objectives

1. Import infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV) of known pathogenicity
2. Determine the susceptibility of banana prawns to IMNV
3. Determine the susceptibility of brown tiger prawns to IMNV

Aquatic Animal Health Subprogram: training course on exotic diseases of aquatic animals

The major outcomes of this project are: (1) as a result of the Training Course, each State/Territory now has one or two specialists who have recently been updated on the exotic diseases of the aquaculture industries in Australia (i.e., diseases on the National List of Reportable Diseases of Aquatic...
