“…Spore wall of the sporoblasts gradually thicken and spores develop into mature ones (Ning, 2020). EHP can be transmitted horizontally though water (Salachan et al, 2017), feces (Singh and Singh, 2018) and carcasses (Tangprasittipap et al, 2013; Jang et al, 2022). Besides L. vannamei and P. monodon , EHP was found proliferate in blue shrimp ( Penaeus stylirostris ) (Tang et al, 2015), giant river prawn ( Macrobrachium rosenbergi ) (Wang et al, 2022) and dragonfly ( Anax parthenope , Pantala flavescens , and Ischnura senegalensis ) (Kumar Dewangan et al, 2023).…”
