Descripción
Infectious myonecrosisvirus (IMNV) is an emerging disease of whitelegshrimp, and is one of only a few internationally important diseases of crustaceans listed by the World Organisationfor Animal Health (OIE), owing to its high pathogenicity; its potential for significant economic, social and/or biological impacts on countries that have not as yet been affected by the disease; and the difficulty or impossibility to treat, control or eradicate it once it has been introduced to new geographic areas. The project aimed to strengthen institutional biosecurity governance for dealing with IMNV in six countries: Brazil, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, Mexico and Thailand.
