Recombinant PirA‐like toxin protects shrimp against challenge with Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the aetiological agent of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease

“…; Enríquez‐Espinoza et al . ). The aetiological agent of AHPND is a Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain harbouring an acquired plasmid that codes for two toxins named PirA‐like (ToxA) and PirB‐like (ToxB; Tran et al .…”

“…The acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is a serious concern in shrimp industry worldwide since 2009 causing a serious economic impact; therefore, strategies to control and treat AHPND are urgently needed (Kongrueng et al 2015;Boonyawiwat et al 2016;Enr ıquez-Espinoza et al 2016). The aetiological agent of AHPND is a Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain harbouring an acquired plasmid that codes for two toxins named PirA-like (ToxA) and PirB-like (ToxB; Tran et al 2013;Han et al 2015a), which was also found in V. harveyi (Kondo et al 2015).…”
