Two virulent Vibrio campbellii phages with potential for phage therapy in aquaculture
These biological and genomic characteristics highlight the potential of vB_VcaP_R24D and vB_VcaP_R25D as effective biocontrol agents for mitigating vibriosis in aquaculture. Although this study demonstrates their narrow host range, the possibility of phage infection in other untested hosts cannot be entirely excluded. Furthermore, the findings offer valuable insights for future research on phage-host interactions and the development of phage cocktails to improve disease management in aquaculture systems.
