Concepto Azul conceived molecular diagnostics for the detection of various viral agents impacting on agriculture and aquaculture productions as well as endangered species in the field of biodiversity conservation.
 
 

 

  
 
  • Shrimp virus detection (BP, IHHNV, HPV, IMNV, MBV, TSV, YHV and WSSV) with nested-PCR or RT-nested-PCR
  • Rickettsia detection (NHP) and extra cellular bacteria such as vibriosis
  • Determination of sceptic levels in micro-plaques of 96 wells
  • Genetic characterisation of bacteria using AP-PCR or through the identification of particular genes (toxins, lactonases, acylases, etc)
  • Antibiogram, MIC (Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations) and MLC (Minimal Lethal Concentration)
  • Quality controls of shrimp products to be exported - Detection of antibiotic residuals and microbiologic controls ([Salmonella, V. parahaemolyticus])
  • Evaluation of immunologic responses of shrimps through biological, enzymatic, immuno-enzymatic and molecular techniques
  • Fish pathogens detection whether bacterial or viral such as Aeromonas or Streptococcus, in particular for tilapia, trout and salmon’s cultures
  • Banana pathogens detection (BSV, CMV)
  • Rice and Sugar Cane pathogens detection.
