Overview
The Shrimp WSSV, MBV, HPV, IHHNV DNA Virus Multiplex Detection and Differentiation (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test is a critical diagnostic tool for shrimp farmers in India. Shrimp farming is a significant contributor to the economy, but viral infections from White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV), Monodon Baculovirus (MBV), Hepatopancreatic Parvovirus (HPV), and Infectious Hypodermal and Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHHNV) can cause severe losses, including mass mortality and reduced growth rates. This test uses advanced RNA detection technology, specifically Real Time PCR, to accurately identify these viruses at an early stage, even before clinical symptoms appear. By detecting viral presence in shrimp samples such as whole blood or tissue, farmers can implement timely interventions to prevent disease spread, protect farm yield, and safeguard revenue. Early detection is crucial for effective biosecurity measures and can significantly reduce the economic impact of outbreaks. The test is affordable at INR 9350, with home sample collection available across numerous cities in India, ensuring accessibility and convenience for farmers in remote areas. It is designed to support proactive farm management, enhance biosecurity protocols, and contribute to sustainable aquaculture practices by enabling informed decision-making based on accurate diagnostic results.
