Improvements to nanobody-based feed additive technology to combat two diseases of farmed shrimp

FY 2022-23 · 2023-01-09

Summary
This project will support the firm in furthering their development of nanobody-based prophylaxis agents targeting two economically-important pathogens of farmed shrimp. Nanobodies targeting one of the pathogens (Vibrio parahaemolyticus) will be validated in an industrial setting with field trials using a commercially-relevant shrimp species and proof of concept of the nanobodies' efficacy against the other pathogen (White Spot Syndrome Virus) will be demonstrated at the bench scale in a surrogate in vivo model.

Description
This project will support the firm in furthering their development of nanobody-based prophylaxis agents targeting two economically-important pathogens of farmed shrimp.

Description (French)
Ce projet aidera l’entreprise à poursuivre le développement d’agents prophylactiques à base de nanocorps ciblant deux pathogènes économiquement importants de la crevette d’élevage. Les nanocorps ciblant l’un des pathogènes (Vibrio parahaemolyticus) seront validés dans un cadre industriel avec des essais sur le terrain en utilisant une espèce de crevette commercialement pertinente et la preuve de concept de l’efficacité des nanocorps contre l’autre pathogène (virus du syndrome des points blancs) sera démontrée à l’échelle du banc d’essai dans un modèle de substitution in vivo.
