Introduction:
Little is known about the influence of pond ecology that could affect the development and/or virulence of shrimp diseases. This research project will elaborate on those and compare within pond data with information from the adjacent mangrove system. Proven quantitative epidemiological models for shrimp diseases are not available and modes of transmission and the influence of environmental conditions are not clear. The proposed study will identify major correlated factors between environment and disease outbreaks and may also identify management options that may help and reduce the outbreaks.
