“…In other works, relative success has been reported to control WSSV by utilizing strategies such as manipulation of water temperature (Vidal, Granja, Aranguren, Brock & Salazar 2001; Guan, Yu & Li 2003; Jiravanichpaisal, Söderhäll & Söderhäll 2004), use of immunostimulants, such as peptidoglycans, lipopolysaccharides and β‐1,3 glucans (Itami, Tokushige, Kubono, Nakagawa, Takeno, Nishimura, Maeda, Kondo & Takahashi 1998; Huang & Song 1999; Takahashi, Kondo, Itami, Honda, Inagawa, Nishizawa, Soma & Yokomizo 2000; Yussof, Shariff, Lee & Banerjee 2001; Chotigeat, Tongsupa, Supamataya & Phongdara 2004), vaccination with inactivated WSSV and viral proteins (VP19 and VP28) (Namikoshi, Wu, Yamashita, Nishizawa, Nishioka, Arimoto & Muroga 2004; Witteveldt, Vlak & Van Hulten 2004), diets supplemented with fucoidan, which is a sulphated polysaccharide extracted from Sargassum polycystum (Chotigeat et al 2004), and administration of antimicrobial peptides such as mytilin (Dupuy, Bonami & Roch 2004). Rodríguez, Espinosa, Echeverría, Cárdenas, Román and Stern (2007) reported the highest survival rate in L. vannamei larviculture treated with Vibrio alginolyticus as a probiotic, and β‐1,3/1,6 glucan as an immunostimulant previous to a WSSV infection.…”
