    AHPNS, also known as Early Mortality Syndrome, is a bacterial disease affecting shrimp that was first reported in 2009 in Southeast Asia. It is caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus which colonizes the shrimp's GI tract and produces a toxin that destroys the hepatopancreas. AHPNS affects shrimp before they reach marketable size and can cause up to 100% mortality. Since 2009 it has spread to China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand, resulting in significant losses to the shrimp farming industry in affected regions.
