Vaccination and shrimp: Can vaccines protect shrimp from pathogens? - A peek
Author(s): R Dinesh and K Greensea
Abstract: Shrimp aquaculture has been experiencing a tremendous increase without frontiers all over the world since 1970. It is often considered as living dollar as it contributes a lump sum amount to the total aquaculture production by value. Despite this bloom and spread, their intensification has not left them free from disease attacks by pathogens. Every year the sector faces huge economic crisis due to diseases especially the one caused by viruses. Both the viral and bacterial diseases which facilitated the shrimp losses in terms of production and value ushered the aquatic animal health scientists to explore their immune mechanisms and unfold the vaccination attempts in shrimps. Although the shrimps lack a true adaptive immune response, the understanding and discovery of existence of specific memory in innate immune systems led to the burgeoning of several vaccine and vaccination strategies for shrimps against bacterial and viral diseases. There have been quite few reviews on vaccination in shrimps with respect to different mechanisms and factors. Here, in this concise review, we provide a glance on overall vaccination aspects in shrimp aquaculture practices particularly with respect to bacterial (Vibriosis) and viral disease (White spot disease).
