Abstract: | Experimental infections of wild juvenile Penueus azrecus with Baculovinrs penuei (BP) demonstrate similar levels of prevalence as found in the natural environment. Moreover, neither postlarvae nor juveniles of P. setiferus , which rarely exhibit natural infections in the Gulf of Mexico, developed experimental patent infections using routine methods. Six other crustaceans, two of which were penaeids and none of which is a known host, did not develop experimental patent infections either. |
