Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis (AHPND) is a severe bacterial disease affecting farmed shrimp. Although various pathogenic bacteria associated with AHPND-affected shrimp have been described, little is known about the bacterial signatures in the stomachs and intestines when the disease occurs naturally. In this study, we characterized the microbiome of by high-throughput sequencing (HTS).

Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is an emerging vibriosis affecting shrimp-producing countries worldwide. Zoea 2 syndrome is another type of vibriosis that affects the early stages of larvae.

- Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is a bacterial infection in shrimp that is linked to specific toxin genes, affecting the shrimp's survival rates in hatcheries.
- Researchers analyzed the microbiomes of infected shrimp larvae from both high- and low-survival tanks using high-throughput sequencing to identify differences in microbial communities.
- The study found significant variations in microbial diversity, with certain bacterial genera being associated with higher survival rates, providing insights for potential management strategies in shrimp farming to mitigate AHPND's impact.
