•
Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is a silent but serious threat in shrimp hatcheries. While nauplii are safe, infection begins once larvae reach the Zoea stage and start feeding. From there, spores multiply inside the hepatopancreas, are shed in feces, and recycled through the larval rearing tank (LRT). Without strict biosecurity, the LRT quickly becomes an…

Additionally, Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) disrupts the hepatopancreas, leading to growth retardation and increased vulnerability to infections, making biosecurity and pond management essential for prevention.
