This study addresses the infection caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus Vp5, which carries the pir A and pirB toxin genes responsible for hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in Pacific white shrimp, leading to significant production losses. The use of a host‐associated probiotic is considered a promising strategy to prevent such diseases. In this laboratory experiment, the effect of indigenous probiotics Shewanella algae A3...

Microbial communities have been documented as playing many pivotal roles, and contributing to the growth or health performance of animal hosts. Thus, many studies are currently looking for potential beneficial bacteria “probiotics” from diverse environments, including wild species. The present study aimed to investigate the diversity and potential metabolic functions of bacterial communities in the gastrointestinal tract of wi...
