Understanding Your Results
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
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
