Diagnostic procedures for shrimp sickness usually involve taking samples from sick shrimp and examining them for the presence of infections or other abnormalities. Tissue, blood, and faeces are all examples of possible samples. Microscopy, polymerase chain reaction (PCR ), ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), and other laboratory techniques can be employed for diagnosis. PCR has been widely used to detect shrimp viruses, allowing disease risk to be controlled. PCR is a highly sensitive and robust technique for detecting pathogens in shrimp.
The important drivers of the shrimp disease diagnostics market include increasing demand for shrimp, rising awareness of disease management in shrimp farming, and the increasing prevalence of shrimp diseases. The market is also driven by the development of innovative diagnostic tools and the increasing availability of diagnostic services.
Shrimp is a well-known aquaculture species all over the world. Disease outbreaks in the previous two decades reduced shrimp production significantly. Early and accurate detection of acute infectious diseases in animals and humans is vital to effective and rapid response to manage control spread, outbreaks, and prevent loss of lives and working capital. Thus, analysis based on infectious disease epidemiology will benefit small industry players.
Availability of knowledge based resources and enhanced research collaborations tends to improve the product development for early diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases. Continuous investment in product development have led to commercialization of shrimp disease diagnostic kits with the ability to incorporate multiple disease detection, which can be used in disease diagnosis tests, for achieving faster analysis.
“Diagnostics Provide Biosecurity of Shrimps and Prevent Infectious Diseases Spread”
The growing requirement for shrimp aquaculture farming for human food and nutrition supply is expected to drive the global acceptance of shrimp disease diagnostics. The major driving factors are an increase in demand for marine shrimp aquaculture farming and freshwater, as well as increased global shrimp production. Shrimp disease diagnostics aid in the growth of healthy shrimps and the prevention of infectious diseases in humans.
Biosecurity of aquaculture encompasses broad concepts of strategic and integrated approaches that include the policy and regulatory frameworks to analyze and manage risks in the sectors of aquaculture food safety and quality, life and health of animals and plants, including associated environmental risk. Application of shrimp disease diagnostics will help to maintain the biosecurity of shrimp farming, food safety and quality, and sustainability of shrimp farming.
Even today, more than two decades of emergence of White Spot Syndrome (WSS), there is no therapeutic option available, and the only option available is to detect and restrict the pathogen entry in the hatchery and farm, using advanced diagnostic tools. Screening of viral pathogens using PCR and DNA hybridization laboratories by the farmers rendered biosecurity in shrimp farming, preventing the spread of devastating infectious diseases such as WSD of shrimp through early diagnosis and acceptance of BMPs (best management practices).
“Lack of Lab Technicians, Stringent Regulations, and Cost of Diagnostics Procedures”
The detection of WSS is often performed in centralized laboratories utilizing molecular biology techniques. However, this method of testing can be costly and time-consuming as it requires specialized lab space, highly skilled lab personnel, sophisticated technology, and long-distance sample transportation from the field to the lab. Diagnosticians and farmers can be able to control disease outbreaks from the pond side thanks to the increasing use of in-field diagnostics as tools for quick and early animal disease identification. The regulatory framework for shrimp disease diagnostics is still evolving in some countries, which can hinder market growth.
In Asia, populations of wild shrimp have been shown to contain viral infections that cause fatalities in aquaculture systems. Increased capacity to carry out quarantine, surveillance, and disease identification and management is required in developing nations that are significant producers of aquaculture shrimp in order to raise awareness of the risk of disease transmission associated with the importation of live animals for aquaculture. For example, some shrimp importing countries or regions (e.g., European Union) have adopted management regulations to protect crustacean domestic populations by adopting measures with respect of import of aquaculture animals, sustainable fisheries, and ecosystems.
