Amazonian buriti and pracaxi as potential functional feed additives to improve shrimp immunity and resistance to WSSV.

Fish Shellfish Immunol

September 2025

Laboratory of Applied Immunology in Aquaculture, Department of Cell Biology, Embryology and Genetics, Federal University of Santa Catarina, 88035-972 Florianópolis, SC, Brazil. Electronic address:

Environmental and nutritional factors are critical in modulating the immune system of Penaeus vannamei, particularly under viral threats such as white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). This study evaluated the effects of two Amazonian plant-based feed additives, buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) and pracaxi (Pentaclethra macroloba) brans, on shrimp immunocompetence, oxidative balance, and resistance to WSSV. Shrimp were fed diets supplemented with 4% or 8% of each ingredient.

Purpose: The association of nutritional intervention and health-related quality of life (HRQL) was examined in children with cancer.

Methods: Undernourished children with cancer (N = 260) were randomized 1:1 to standard nutritional therapy (SNT) or SNT + Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). HRQL was assessed using the Health Utilities Index® (HUI) at study entry and 6 weeks later.
