Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is a major bacterial disease in Pacific white shrimp  Litopenaeus vannamei  farming, which is caused by  Vibrio parahaemolyticus . AHPND has led to a significant reduction of shrimp output since its outbreak. Selective breeding of disease-resistant broodstock is regarded as a key strategy in solving the disease problem. Understanding the relationship between genetic variance and AHPND resistance is the basis for marker-assisted selection in shrimp. The purpose of this study was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the resistance against AHPND in  L. vannamei . In this work, two independent populations were used for  V. parahaemolyticus  challenge and the resistant or susceptible shrimp were evaluated according to the survival time after  Vibrio  infection. The above two populations were genotyped separately by a SNP panel designed based on the target sequencing platform using a pooling strategy. The SNP panel contained 508 amplicons from DNA fragments distributed evenly along the genome and some immune-related genes of  L. vannamei . By analyzing the allele frequency in the resistant and susceptible groups, 30 SNPs were found to be significantly associated with the resistance of the shrimp against  V. parahaemolyticus  infection (false discovery rate corrected at  P  < 0.05). Three SNPs were further validated by individual genotyping in all samples of population 1. Our study illustrated that target sequencing and pooling sequencing were effective in identifying the markers associated with economic traits, and the SNPs identified in this study could be used as molecular markers for breeding disease-resistant shrimp.
