Influencia del uso de herramientas moleculares en el cultivo de camarón blanco (litopenaeus vannamei) y sus avances en el ecuador

Abstract

In the shrimp farming industry, rapid technological development has guaranteed a worldwide increase in production in aquaculture farms, which is why, supported by areas of study such as Molecular Biology, within the field of diagnosis, different molecular techniques have emerged that they are based on the detection of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA, allowing greater access to carry out these techniques, which is why in recent years in our country it is easier to apply them as a support in shrimp farming, to determine the type of diagnosis that is to be identified, one of the most used techniques in our country are gene amplification techniques, which have represented advances in the application, being carried out even as a support in technical advice by different companies, allowing immediate actions to be applied to combat the pathogenic microorganisms that affect our crops. That is why this work focuses on determining which are the molecular techniques used in the field of molecular biology, establishing which pathogens such as bacteria, fungi and viruses affect crops, in the same way establishing which technique is most used in our country as the PCR technique, how it is carried out, its phases and what application they have in the aquaculture field, relating it to other techniques used to determine the presence of pathogenic microorganisms that cause various diseases in Litopenaeus vannamei crops, based on the detection of their nucleic acids.
