Biological, physiological, immunological and nutritional assessment of farm-reared Litopenaeus stylirostris shrimp affected or unaffected by vibriosis

► Shrimp health was surveyed on pond affected or unaffected by a vibriosis. ► Shrimp in molt stages A and D2 appeared to be the most sensitive. ► Even the health of uninfected shrimp was altered just before the first mortalities. ► Infected shrimp are more stressed than the presumed healthy shrimp. ► From our multidisciplinary approach, a conceptual model is proposed.
