Diseases

Bacterial infections seem to be more widespread in shrimps than was thought a few years ago.

There are many different strains of bacteria. Not all of them trigger the same symptoms, and not all of them possess the same infectiousness. Some infections are rather mild, with only few dead shrimps, few and far between, and some shrimps that show some symptoms like e.g. a whiteish abdomen but behave normally otherwise and look relatively healthy. Other infections are ravaging, infection rates are high, and many shrimp die.
