Initially the focus was on limiting the impact of infectious disease processes in humans. As their usage increased, it was observed that they also could play an important role in the production of animals and they eventually were deemed essential to provide a burgeoning human population with high quality, safe, cheap animal prot
Summary:
Research continues in the global efforts to identify the cause of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome in farmed shrimp and find solutions to stop the major losses caused by its spread. Prices will likely continue to increase as supply fails to meet demand, and production dynamics will shift, as they have due to other diseases. Will such shifts result in long-term changes in production paradigms and development of new shrimp-producing areas?
Science is a powerful tool for understanding how the world we live in works. This knowledge, when used wisely, has had and will continue to have dramatic impacts on human welfare. Unfortunately it can be challenging for the layman and even for many scientists to sort out what is real from what is not. It is estimated by some that 50% or more of the papers published in peer reviewed scientific journals are not reproducible. Vast amounts of published ob
