Patent
Environmental conditions steer phenotype switching in AHPND-causing Vibrio parahaemolyticus including PirABVP toxin production
The present invention relates to the field of monitoring acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease in shrimp. More specifically, the present invention discloses that detection of the presence of alkaline phosphatase Phox enzyme, or, of the PiRAvp and/or the PirBvp toxins of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease-causing Vibrio parahaemolyticus correlates with non-virulence or virulence, respectively of said bacterium. Hence, a assay capable of detecting said Phox enzyme and/or said toxins could be very useful to monitor said disease in shrimp.
