Evaluation of EHP infection. (A) EHP infection grade (I0–I4) registered during the bioassay and EHP infection index (EII) values according to (B) infection grade by each disease stage and (C) mean value for each disease stage. Black bars denote the infection grade of each organism sampled. The red dotted line represents the average of black bars considering 3 sampling days. Red arrows represent the beginning and the end of each disease stage. Color bars cluster the organisms from early (green), development (red), or late (blue) stages of the disease. R: replicate (sampled shrimp); D: day (sampling day). EII values are represented as mean ± standard deviation.
