XENOHALIOTIS CALIFORNIENSIS

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Xenohaliotis californiensis

Xenohaliotis californiensis, commonly known as withering syndrome, is a devastating pathogen affecting abalone populations in the aquaculture sector. This disease is characterized by weight loss, lack of appetite, and ultimately death, with the causative agent being a rickettsial-like prokaryote. Early detection of this pathogen is crucial to prevent widespread mortalities in abalone farms and protect the economic viability of the industry.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Xenohaliotis californiensis allows for rapid and accurate identification of this pathogen, enabling early intervention to prevent further spread within abalone populations. By detecting this target efficiently, YouSeq's technology helps to mitigate the economic losses associated with withering syndrome in aquaculture and supports the sustainable growth of the industry.
