Sample TypeShrimp tissue sample
Collection MethodTissue sampling

Sample Stability

Sample stable for 24-48 hours at 2-8°C if shipped promptly
Sample Rejection Criteria:
  • Contaminated or improperly labeled samples
  • Samples with insufficient volume or degraded RNA
  • Samples not shipped within stability period

Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of TSV, YHV, and IMNV RNA in the shrimp sample. Positive results confirm viral infection, while negative results suggest no detectable virus at the time of testing.
📊

Detected

Viral RNA present; indicates active infection with TSV, YHV, or IMNV

📊

Not Detected

No viral RNA detected; suggests absence of infection or below detection limit

📊

Inconclusive

Repeat test recommended due to potential technical issues or sample quality

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If the test result is positive or symptoms persist, consult an aquaculture veterinarian or infectious disease specialist for further management and treatment options.

Limitations

  • Qualitative test only; does not quantify viral load
  • May not detect all genetic variants or strains of the viruses
  • Requires proper sample collection to avoid false negatives

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk to shrimp from sample collection
  • No significant risks to humans or environment

Interfering Factors

  • Contaminated or degraded samples
  • Improper storage or handling of shrimp tissue
  • Presence of inhibitors in the sample affecting RT-PCR

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Shrimp TSV, YHV & IMNV RNA Virus Multiplex Detection Test?
It is a laboratory test that uses multiplex RT-PCR to detect and differentiate the RNA of Taura Syndrome Virus (TSV), Yellow Head Virus (YHV), and Infectious Myonecrosis Virus (IMNV) in shrimp samples.
What are the symptoms of TSV, YHV, and IMNV in shrimp?
Symptoms include lethargy, loss of appetite, abnormal body position, yellow discoloration of the cephalothorax, anorexia, and white necrotic muscle tissue, but these can vary by virus and infection stage.
How is the test performed?
A tissue sample from the shrimp is collected, and RNA is extracted and amplified using multiplex RT-PCR to detect viral RNA, providing qualitative results.
What is the cost of the test?
The test costs INR 11,050, which includes laboratory analysis and the test report.
Why choose DNA Labs India for this test?
DNA Labs India uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, offering accurate and reliable RNA detection with timely results to help manage shrimp diseases.
