high abundances and biomass, make vibrios key players in aquatic environments, as well …

The opportunistic pathogen V. parahaemolyticus is a major causative agent for seafood-
borne illness worldwide. It also causes severe vibriosis in aquaculture animals, affecting …

Viruses are traditionally thought to be under selective pressure to maintain compact
genomes and thus depend on host cell translational machinery for reproduction. However …

Vibrio alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus, the causative agents of Vibriosis in marine

A novel virulent bacteriophage, vB_VspP_pVa5, infecting a strain of Vibrio splendidus was
isolated from a sea-cage aquaculture farm in Greece, and characterized using …

Vibrio alginolyticus is an important pathogen of marine animals and has been the target of
phage therapy applications in marine aquaculture for many years. Here, we report the …

Lytic bacteriophages have been well documented to play a pivotal role in microbial ecology
due to their complex interactions with bacterial species, especially in aquatic habitats …

In this study, the genome of the lytic broad-host-range phage Key infecting Erwinia
