Abstract

A four-year study on the disease problems in the Indian shrimp farming sector
has brought to light three important protozoan diseases of cultured shrimp.
They are cotton shrimp disease, enteric cephaline gregarine infections and
protozoan fouling caused by microsporean, cephaline gregarines and ciliates,
respectively. These diseases are described in detail. Histomorphological
changes due to microsporean and epicommensal infections are also discussed.
