A new microsporidian disease of the pond-reared ridgetail white prawn, Palaemon carinicauda, was found in China. Light microscopy, pathology, and scanning electron microscopy showed that the parasite infected the host's skeletal muscle tissue and formed spherical sporophorous vesicles (SPOVs). Electron microscopy revealed that its merogonic life stages developed in direct contact with the host cytoplasm.

The results showed that the average height and degree of coverage for P. australis increased monthly from March to August, and then deceased from September.

- The study examined 300 shellfish samples from the South Yellow Sea and East China Sea, focusing on the presence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus between May and October 2015.
- A total of 202 samples tested positive for V. parahaemolyticus, with peak densities observed in June and July, mostly found in agemaki clams and with varying prevalence among different species.
- Despite its widespread presence, the overall density of V. parahaemolyticus was low, and the virulence factor was rare, indicating a lower risk for public health and providing valuable data for food safety guidelines in China.
