Abstract

In shrimp farming, disease is a serious concern that  affects production globally. Enterocytozoon  hepatopenaei (EHP) was rarely found till 2009 in the  black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon. But EHP infection  became more widespread during mid-2010 in Asia  and affected the most common cultured shrimp  species Penaeus vannamei. Enterocytozoon  hepatopenaei (EHP) affects the hepatopancreas of the  shrimp and causes Hepatopancreatic Microsporidiosis  (HPM). HPM is a disease that delayed host growth  and development. HPM is more difficult to manage  than other infectious disease due to a lack of sufficient  knowledge about its reservoirs and mode of  transmission. This study summarized the life cycle of  EHP spore and the molecular approaches used by  them as an obligate intracellular parasite. It also  analyzes existing and novel approaches for the  diagnosis, as the majority of the present work on EHP  concentrates on that area. We outline the current  understanding of EHP infection and transmission  dynamics, as well as currently recommended, feasible  control strategies being used to restrict its harmful  influence on shrimp farming. We also highlight the  critical knowledge gaps that must be addressed  immediately.
