    , dsRNA-based platforms are among the promising tools for triggering an antiviral response in shrimp through an RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. The main obstacle to utilizing the RNAi strategy in the shrimp aquaculture industry is the lack of a low...-cost, efficient, and practical delivery approach. Recently, virus-like particles (VLPs) have been used as nanocarriers to deliver dsRNA into shrimp tissues. The VLP-based delivery system extends the half-life of the targeted dsRNA, provides broad tissue

    -stranded interfering RNA to target cells. We have employed a long double-stranded (dsRNA) targeting the coding region of PfTOP2 that is complexed with chitosan nanoparticles in order to interfere with the cognate mRNA expression and examined its effect on P... is in the development of antimalarials based on RNA interference targeting expression of malaria parasite vital genes, viz.

    Inhibition of Taura syndrome virus replication in Litopenaeus vannamei through silencing the LvRab7 gene using double-stranded RNA
    (2011-07-01) Chalermporn Ongvarrasopone; Pipop Saejia; Mayuree Chanasakulniyom; Sakol Panyim; Mahidol University
    Taura syndrome virus (TSV) is a major cause of high mortality in Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeusvannamei, Lv). Previously, silencing of Penaeus monodon Rab7 (PmRab7) by injecting double-stranded RNA corresponding to PmRab7 (dsRNA-PmRab7) prevented... white spot syndrome virus or yellow head virus infection. Rab7 is proposed to be involved in intracellular trafficking of the viruses. This study aimed to investigate whether knockdown of Rab7 in L. vannamei by dsRNA-PmRab7 could inhibit replication

    Inhibition of Penaeus monodon densovirus replication in shrimp by double-stranded RNA

    Stunted shrimp caused by Penaeus monodon densovirus (PmDNV) infection is one of the main problems leading to a significant economic loss in Thailand. To control this pandemic disease, a double-stranded-RNA-mediated virus-specific gene silencing.... After allowing viral replication for two weeks, the suppression effect by each dsRNA was evaluated by semi-quantitative PCR and compared with the control. A reduction of PmDNV in shrimp treated with each dsRNA was observed. In contrast, a high level

    Transgenic Microalgae Expressing Double-Stranded RNA as Potential Feed Supplements for Controlling White Spot Syndrome in Shrimp Aquaculture
    (2023-08-01) Charoonnart P.; Taunt H.N.; Yang L.; Webb C.; Robinson C.; Saksmerprome V.; Purton S.; Mahidol University
    Viral infection of farmed fish and shellfish represents a major issue within the aquaculture industry. One potential control strategy involves RNA interference of viral gene expression through the oral delivery of specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA... use to protect shrimp against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). A new strategy for dsRNA synthesis was developed that uses two convergent copies of the endogenous rrnS promoter to drive high-level transcription of both strands of the WSSV gene element

    practice in Penaeus monodon hatchery to induce ovarian maturation and spawning. Our previous report showed that silencing of GIH expression by GIH-specific double-stranded RNA (GIH-dsRNA) resulted in an increased expression level of vitellogenin in P.... monodon, thus suggesting that GIH-dsRNA could be an alternative method to induce ovarian maturation in female P. monodon broodstock. In this study, we further demonstrated that a single injection of GIH-dsRNA into previtellogenic female P. monodon
