Importancia de las técnicas microbiológicas para determinar enfermedades del camarón (<i>litopenaeus</i> <i>vannamei</i>)

Abstract

Diseases in aquaculture are the greatest challenge in the production of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp, being these the main ones that cause mortalities. Bacteria, viruses and fungi are the main pathogens that improve in our cultures, for which the innovation of microbiological techniques for the diagnosis of these diseases that range from the types of culture medium where we find selective media for certain microorganisms such as they are tcbs, cetrimide agars. We also find the different seeding techniques such as the Barry technique, dilutions and surface striations, these techniques being complemented with molecular techniques depending on the time available.
