The main histological findings were melanized hemocytes, haemocyte infiltration, melanosis, spheroids type A, B and C, coagulative myonecrosis, pyknosis, among others, useful to determining in the health status of shrimp in particular, cytopathic effect of V. parahaemoltycus in systemic infections.
