Análisis bibliográfico del uso de bacteriófagos para control de VIBRIO SPP. en el cultivo de camarón blanco del pacífico (PENAEUS VANNAMEI)

Abstract

This study examines the potential use of bacteriophages as a method to mitigate diseases caused by Vibrio spp. in shrimp farming through a systematic review. Research was conducted across six different databases, from which more than 5,000 articles were collected, over 300 studies were analyzed, and a critical review of 14 investigations focused on the application of bacteriophages in aquaculture was carried out. To evaluate the methodology and assess the risk of bias in the selected articles, the QUADAS-2 method was employed using the Review Manager 5.4 software. Additionally, a survey was conducted among individuals involved in the aquaculture sector to gauge their willingness to use bacteriophages as a biotechnological tool for controlling bacterial diseases. Finally, a bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer, allowing for the identification of collaboration patterns among authors, citations, and trends in related studies. The analyzed findings from preliminary studies indicate that the use of bacteriophages, particularly in consortiums combining different strains, enables more effective control of bacterial diseases while reducing antibiotic dependence. This positions bacteriophage therapy as a viable and environmentally friendly alternative for managing Vibrio spp. infections in shrimp farming.
