PHYLOGENETIC STUDY OF DNA POLYMERASE AND DNA LIGASE GENES OF T4-TYPE VIBRIOPHAGES FOR THE SELECTION OF NEW MARKERS of PHAGES FOR VIBRIOSIS THERAPY IN AQUACULTURE
In order to select genetic markers for the detection of vibriophages, a phylogenetic analysis of DNA polymerase and DNA ligase genes of T4-type vibriophages and related bacteriophages was performed. The findings are discussed in the context of using these markers for the treatment and prevention of aquaculture contamination of freshwater shrimp with vibrioses.
