| Popis: | Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio harveyi are commonly associated with brine shrimp, where they proliferate at the time of hatching and colonize nauplius surfaces, becoming a potential risk to organisms feeding on them. Among the strategies to prevent their occurrence, the use of chemotherapeutic agents and disinfectants could be considered; however, these strategies have side effects on the quality of brine shrimp and the environment. As a consequence, the use of bacteriophages (phages) is gaining interest in aquaculture. In this study, we investigated the effect of phage therapy (single phages and cocktails) on hatching and survival of brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) cysts and nauplii exposed to pathogenic strains of V. parahaemolyticus and V. harveyi. The results revealed that application of single phages enhanced significantly (p |
