A Review of Phage Therapy against Bacterial Pathogens of Aquatic and Terrestrial Organisms
Viruses, 2017 Since the discovery of bacteriophage in the early 1900s, there have been numerous attempts to exploit their innate ability to kill bacteria. The purpose of this report is to review current findings and new developments in phage therapy with an emphasis ...

Communities of T4-like bacteriophages associated with bacteria in Lake Baikal: diversity and biogeography [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Lake Baikal phage communities are important for lake ecosystem functioning. Here we describe the diversity of T4-bacteriophage associated with the bacterial fraction of filtered water samples collected from the pelagic zone, coastal zone and shallow bays.

Bacteriophages that infect marine roseobacters: genomics and ecology [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2019 Summary Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in seawater. They influence microbial population dynamics, genetic heterogeneity and biogeochemical cycles in marine ecosystems. The isolation and characterization of viruses that infect specific hosts have greatly advanced our knowledge of the biological ...

Virus isolation studies suggest short-term variations in abundance in natural cyanophage populations of the Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2006 Cyanophage abundance has been shown to fluctuate over long timescales and with depth, but little is known about how it varies over short timescales. Previous short-term studies have relied on counting total virus numbers and therefore the phages which ...

First evidence of virus-like particles in the bacterial symbionts of Bryozoa
Scientific Reports, 2021 Bacteriophage communities associated with humans and vertebrate animals have been extensively studied, but the data on phages living in invertebrates remain scarce. In fact, they have never been reported for most animal phyla.
