PHOTOBACTERIUM DAMSELAE

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Photobacterium damselae

Photobacterium damselae is a bacterial pathogen that can infect both marine and freshwater fish, causing a condition known as photobacteriosis. This pathogen is particularly important in the aquaculture sector, as it can lead to significant economic losses due to mass mortalities in fish populations. Early detection of Photobacterium damselae is crucial to prevent the spread of the disease and mitigate its impact on fish populations.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Photobacterium damselae allows for rapid and accurate identification of this pathogen in fish populations. By detecting this target quickly, aquaculture farmers can take proactive measures to control the spread of the disease and minimize economic losses. Additionally, early detection of Photobacterium damselae can help prevent the potential transmission of the pathogen to humans through contaminated seafood, ensuring food safety.
