Hi‐PCR® EHP and WSSV detection and quantitation multiplex probe PCR kit is designed to detect the target gene of EHP, WSSV and Internal Control in FAM, TexRed and JOE channel respectively. The kit allows sensitive, specific and simultaneous detection and quantitation of EHP and WSSV in a single tube reaction. Hi-PCR® EHP-WSSV Multiplex Probe PCR Kit enables the simultaneous identification of Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei and White Spot Syndrome Virus. This Multiplex PCR assay facilitates Dual Pathogen Co-infection Detection for proactive Aquaculture Molecular Health Monitoring and Shrimp Disease Testing.
EHP (Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei) and WSSV (white spot syndrome virus) infections are amongst the most significant threat diseases in shrimp aquaculture. EHP is an obligate, intracellular, spore?forming parasite, which mainly infects the gastrointestinal tract of shrimps. Whereas WSSV is the lone virus of the genus Whispovirus (white spot) causing white spots (ranging from 0.5–3.0 mm in diameter) on the exoskeleton, appendages and inside the epidermis of the shrimps.HiMedia’s Hi-PCR® EHP and WSSV detection multiplex Probe PCR Kit is designed to detect the target gene of EHP, WSSV and Internal Control in FAM, TexRed and JOE channel respectively. The kit allows sensitive, specific and simultaneous detection of EHP and WSSV in a single tube reaction.
