qPCR / RT-qPCR testing for shrimp, tilapia, grouper, seabass, milkfish, crab and prawn diseases, built around a shrimp seedstock panel for Philippine hatcheries and grow-out farms.

  • Shrimp seedstock panel: WSSV, AHPND (EMS investigation), EHP and IHHNV
  • Tilapia TiLV and streptococcal testing
  • Grouper, Asian seabass, milkfish, mud crab, prawn and koi panels

TURNAROUND

Same-day reports on routine tests received before 12 noon.

Most routine swine and aquatic tests are reported the same day when samples reach the laboratory before 12 noon, so farm decisions are not delayed.

Before 12 noon

Routine samples received before 12 noon are reported the same day.

Free preservation tubes

Every client can use the laboratory's free sample preservation tubes. Aquatic tissue in these tubes stays usable at room temperature for 72 hours; material requirements for other species are confirmed before submission.

Special and add-on tests

Turnaround for additional typing, differentiation or other special tests is confirmed with the laboratory before you submit.

SHRIMP DISEASE TESTING

Shrimp disease testing in the Philippines

Hatchery and grow-out operators screen seedstock and investigate deaths with a four-test panel: WSSV, AHPND (EMS investigation), EHP and IHHNV.

  • Before shipping or stocking a seedstock batchWSSV + AHPND (EMS investigation) + EHP + IHHNV
  • Feed refusal or rising deaths, submit the same dayWSSV + AHPND, plus histopathology, bacterial testing and water quality. Add EHP for slow growth.
  • Slow growth or marked size differences in the pondEHP + IHHNV, reviewed with feed, growth and water quality records
Seedstock panel for whiteleg and black tiger shrimp
TestWhat it detectsWhy it matters
WSSVWhite spot syndrome virusA cause of sudden deaths. Test each seedstock batch and whenever deaths rise.
AHPNDAcute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (EMS investigation)Tests for the Vibrio bacteria that cause AHPND, one cause of early mortality syndrome (EMS). AHPND explains some, but not all, EMS cases.
EHPEnterocytozoon hepatopenaeiA microsporidian parasite linked to slow growth and size differences within a pond.
IHHNVInfectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virusChecked together with EHP for slow growth. An initial positive is confirmed before it is acted on.

Shrimp

WSSV, AHPND (EMS), EHP and IHHNV for whiteleg and black tiger shrimp.

Tilapia

TiLV, Streptococcus agalactiae and S. iniae, with gill and skin parasite checks.

Grouper

Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), plus RSIV, ISKNV or SGIV when previously detected.

Asian seabass

NNV, Streptococcus iniae and scale drop disease virus (SDDV).

Milkfish

Bacterial identification, susceptibility testing and histopathology for bleeding, ulcers or deaths.

Mud crab

WSSV testing before arrival, since apparently healthy crabs can carry the virus.

Giant freshwater prawn

MrNV and XSV testing for white tail disease.

Common carp / koi

Koi herpesvirus (KHV) testing before introducing new fish.

SWINE DISEASE TESTING

Swine disease testing in the Philippines

Testing supports purchase decisions, gilt quarantine, sow and piglet illness, finisher assessments and contamination investigations, built around African swine fever (ASF) qPCR.

  • ASF gene-deleted strain triple-target detectionAdds deletion-associated characterisation (ASFV-ΔI177L/EP402R/MGF505-2R) to a routine ASF finding, selected using prior results, clinical history and vaccination background.
  • PRRS quadruple strain differentiationDifferentiates North American, highly pathogenic, NADC30-like and NADC34-like PRRSV strains in one submission.
  • PED/TGE/RoV-A/PDCoV quadplexChecks four causes of piglet diarrhoea, PEDV, TGEV, rotavirus A and PDCoV, from a single sample.
  • PCV2/PCV3 duplexChecks both circovirus types linked to poor growth and reproductive loss in one submission.
From the clinical sign to the panel
Clinical presentationTests to consider
Sudden poor appetite, fever or rising mortalityASF and classical swine fever. Add PRRS, influenza A and pleuropneumonia for respiratory distress.
Cough, difficult breathing or poor growthPRRS, influenza A, mycoplasmal pneumonia and pleuropneumonia. Add PCV2/PCV3 where relevant.
Diarrhoea, dehydration or bloody faecesPED, TGE, rotavirus A and PDCoV. Also ETEC, clostridial enteritis, proliferative enteropathy and swine dysentery.
Return to service, abortion, stillbirths or weak pigletsASF, PRRS, PPV, PRV, PCV2/PCV3, JEV, GETV and brucellosis. Also feed testing for the mycotoxin ZEN.
Lameness, swollen joints, nervous signs or blistersGlässer disease, S. suis and pseudorabies. Add FMD testing for blisters.
STANDARDS AND METHOD DEVELOPMENT

International standards and diagnostic expertise

For applicable tests, we follow the standards and recommendations in the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) diagnostic manuals, with quality control throughout testing and result review.

In-house method and target development

Our understanding of disease mechanisms and veterinary diagnostics supports in-house method development and refinement of molecular detection targets. We assess specificity, sensitivity and suitability for the intended use.
