Evaluation of Highly Targeted dsRNA for the Treatment of Infectious Myonecrosis Virus (IMNV) in Litopenaeus vannamei

Authors: ,

Abstract

Double stranded RNA was synthesized in vitro with sequences corresponding to portions of the IMNV genome and were injected into shrimp 2 days after a lethal challenge with IMNV. This is the first time these methods have been used to treat IMNV infections in shrimp.
