Description:
After the outbreak of various viral diseases, specifically white spot syndrome (WSS) in farmed Litopenaeus
vannamei in the past few years, this non-native shrimp species in Iran requires a generator-builder with specific a
pathogen-free approach. This Research was done by the Iran Shrimp Research Center (ISRC) to access accurate
information regarding specific pathogen-free shrimp production and avoid using shrimp broodstock production
through foreign investors. This research was part of the molecular viral study. For this trial, selected shrimps in
farms were sampled and screened for main viruses (OIE list). Shrimps without infection were brought to the
quarantine system for one month and at the end of the quarantine they were screened again. In addition, in winter
spending, before and after spawning, it’s offspring in F1 and F2 were also screened for viral pathogens by
IQ2000 kit at the Iran Shrimp Research Center lab and Iranian veterinary organization lab. All shrimp products
such as fresh and consumed food were tested for OIE list at all stages during project performance and the result
of tests were negative. Sequenced and molecular tests with specific primers were used to determine the presence
of infected samples carrying the virus in any of the products, such as shrimp and consumed food, the infected
samples. The result of all the tests during last three years, shows that all the shrimp and their food products were
pathogen-free and safe to use.
