Exploration of Virulence Factors in Vibrio Parahaemolyticus in Penaeus Vannamei Shrimp: A Bibliometric Analysis

Producción científica: Contribución a una revistaArtículorevisión exhaustiva

Resumen

The article provides a detailed analysis on virulence factors in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, an important pathogenic bacterium in Penaeus vannamei shrimp aquaculture. During the search in the Scopus database, 587 articles relevant to the topic were found, reflecting a broad scientific interest in this emerging field. One of the highlights in the results of the bibliometric analysis is the growing interest in understanding the virulence factors of V. parahaemolyticus, particularly in relation to shrimp production. This suggests the importance of approaching this problem from a multidisciplinary perspective involving researchers in microbiology, biotechnology and aquaculture. In addition, significant genetic diversity was observed in V. parahaemolyticus, indicating the complexity of its pathogenicity and the need for control strategies adapted to the different strains. This information is crucial to develop effective disease prevention and control measures in shrimp farms, thus contributing to the health and sustainability of the aquaculture industry. As for control and prevention strategies identified in the analysis, the potential use of natural extracts with antibacterial properties and the development of specific vaccines against acute hepatopancreatic necrosis, a serious disease caused by V. parahaemolyticus in shrimp, stand out. These therapeutic options represent promising areas of research that could significantly improve health management in aquaculture and reduce economic losses associated with bacterial diseases. This article provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of virulence factors in Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Penaeus vannamei shrimp, underscoring the importance of continued research and implementation of innovative strategies to ensure the safety and sustainability of aquaculture production. Received: 28 May 2024 / Accepted: 18 July 2024 / Published: 05 September 2024
