ABALONE HERPESVIRUS

Abalone herpesvirus: Commonly known as AHV, this virus infects abalone species and can cause mass mortalities in aquaculture settings. Early detection is crucial to prevent significant economic losses in the aquaculture industry.

Abalone herpesvirus (AbHV) is a highly contagious pathogen affecting marine gastropods, particularly abalone species, causing severe mortalities in aquaculture settings. Symptoms include foot detachment, lethargy, and ultimately death, leading to significant economic losses in the aquaculture industry. Early detection of AbHV is crucial to prevent outbreaks and implement control measures in the aquaculture sector.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Abalone herpesvirus allows for sensitive and specific detection of the pathogen, enabling early intervention to prevent mass mortalities in abalone populations. Rapid and accurate detection of AbHV can help prevent economic losses and ensure sustainable aquaculture practices, ultimately benefiting the marine environment and the aquaculture industry.
