Animal Health & PCR Diagnostics

Molecular Diagnostics and Aquatic Animal Health Support

Early detection of important pathogens is essential for shrimp health, hatchery biosecurity, and disease management. AARON AQUA TECH aims to support shrimp farmers and hatchery professionals through molecular diagnostic services, pathogen screening, and technical guidance for aquatic animal health.

1. PCR-Based Pathogen Screening

PCR-based testing can help detect the genetic material of selected pathogens in shrimp and aquaculture samples.

Shrimp pathogens for screening, subject to test availability:

WSSV – White Spot Syndrome Virus

EHP – Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei

IHHNV – Infectious Hypodermal and Haematopoietic Necrosis Virus

Vibrio spp. – Molecular detection of selected Vibrio species

Testing may use conventional PCR, nested PCR, or real-time PCR (qPCR), depending on the target pathogen, validated assay.
