“…Antimicrobial resistance profile of Vibrio species isolated from the hatchery system of M. rosenbergii has been reported [19][20][21]. Vibriosis of M. rosenbergii can be controlled through phages φSt2 and φGrn1 of V. alginolyticus from live feed A. salina [97][98][99].…”

“…In shrimp hatcheries, the use of bacteriophages that infect bacteria is an alternative method to selectively eliminate their bacterial hosts while leaving normal microbiome unaltered. Phage therapy has been shown to inhibit the growth and multiplication of V. harveyi, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. anguillarum [39,[97][98][99].…”

“…In vitro cell lysis experiment of phage (a) φSt2 and (b) φGrn1 was carried by infecting the fresh cultures of the host bacteria V. alginolyticus strain V1 which was collected from live feed A. salina culture [97][98][99]. The lysis of the host bacteria V. alginolyticus strain V1 grown in TCBS was proportional to the multiplicity of infection (MOI) (which is defined as the ratio between the number of viruses in an infection and the number of the host cells which can be resolved by correcting the relative concentration of virus and host) used.…”

“…The phages, viz. φSt2 and φGrn1 and a giant bacteriophage pVa-21, can effectively be used in the biological control of pathogenic Vibrio species in marine hatcheries [97][98][99]. These studies indicate the potential applications of the phages for various purposes outside aquaculture, and further research on the specificity, phage-host interactions, proteomics, and genomics of phages are needed to establish their usefulness and utilization.…”

“…These studies indicate the potential applications of the phages for various purposes outside aquaculture, and further research on the specificity, phage-host interactions, proteomics, and genomics of phages are needed to establish their usefulness and utilization. Efficacy of phage therapy was shown to prevent mortality of the vibriosis-infected brine shrimp Artemia franciscana [97][98][99]. Application of single-type/ cocktails of phages against V. parahaemolyticus-and V. harveyi-infected cysts and nauplii Artemia franciscana showed a drastic improvement in the survival rate (from 85 to 89%) and hatching success (100% in both cases) in groups treated with phages, whereas the control groups exhibited a survival rate of 40-50% and hatching success (50%).…”

Phage therapy is one of the most important control strategies envisaged for the management of bacterial diseases in the aquatic environment. There are no other effective alternative approaches for the natural control of bacterial diseases, while phage therapy remains the best method which has not yet been exploited. The occurrence, infectivity, lytic activities, therapeutic potentials, and efficacy of the bacteriophages of Bacillus spp./Vibrio spp. for control of pathogenic bacteria diseases such as Vibrio vulnificus, V. damsela, and V. furnissii in the cultures of crustaceans are presented. An ideal method for long-term storage and recovery of the lytic bacteriophages, agar bioassay method and one-step growth experiments, in vivo and in vitro experiments, and validation of the usefulness of phage therapy are described. The review highlights the occurrences of plagues of lytic phages of Vibrio sp. and Bacillus spp. and their control effects of vibriosis both in vivo and in vitro in the crustaceans, thus establishing the application and efficacy of the phages of Vibrio/Bacillus against the pathogenic Vibrio spp. Development of specific phage therapy or a cocktail of phages to a wide variety of systems is considered to represent an interesting emerging alternative to antibiotic therapy and vaccination.
