A Google Group on AHPND detection has been established to promote communication about the two AHPND detection methods (AP1 and AP2) that Dr Chu-Fang Lo and Dr Tim Flegel announced on 24 December 2013 (see article on preceding page).

The purpose of the group is to allow people using the methods to send in their comments and experiences about use of these two methods and other methods that might be developed. For example, the IQ2000 method from GeneReach in Taiwan Province of China was recently released and results using that system may be compared with those obtained using AP1 and AP2.

Anyone may join the group or view the discussion. Please note that this group is specifically to discuss detection and is not for general advice on AHPND.
