The Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei is cultivated worldwide and is an important economic resource in Mexico. Despite continuous development of shrimp aquaculture in Mexico, this activity has exhibited variable production rates because of health‐related problems. Most of the health problems have been caused by viruses, such as IHHNV [syn = penstyldensovirus (PstDV1)], TSV, and WSSV, and diseases caused by different species of the genus Vibrio, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp AHPND), which contain a plasmid with genes that encode for the toxins PirA and PirB. Even with the losses caused by these pathogens, the production of shrimp continues, and the number of hectares used for production increases year after year. This article presents a review of the history of shrimp farming in Mexico, the predominating health problems, and the estimated economic impact on shrimp culture. The implementation of good management practices in aquaculture production is urgently needed to improve the production on shrimp farms.

在墨西哥养殖的太平洋白虾南美白对虾（南美白对虾，1831年）的历史，影响和传染病状况

太平洋白虾南美白对虾在世界范围内养殖，是墨西哥的重要经济资源。尽管墨西哥虾类水产养殖业不断发展，但由于健康相关的问题，该活动的产量却出现了变化。大多数健康问题是由病毒引起的，例如IHHNV [syn = penstyldensovirus（PstDV1）]，TSV和WSSV，以及由弧菌属不同种引起的疾病，例如副溶血性弧菌（Vp AHPND），其中包含具有编码毒素PirA和PirB的基因的质粒。即使这些病原体造成了损失，虾的生产仍在继续，用于生产的公顷数逐年增加。本文介绍了墨西哥虾养殖的历史，主要的健康问题以及对虾养殖的估计经济影响。迫切需要在水产养殖生产中实施良好的管理规范，以提高对虾养殖场的产量。
