Different disease control methods in shrimp aquaculture: A review

Aquaculture has become an important economic activity in many countries all over the world. Shrimp production is depressed by disease particularly caused by luminous Vibrio viruses. Many antibiotics don't work or make pathogens stronger and harder to treat. Antibiotics are also a concern because they help bacteria become resistant to them. Antibiotics, which have been used in large quantities, are in many cases ineffective, or result in increases in virulence of pathogens and, furthermore, are cause for concern in promoting transfer of antibiotic resistance to human pathogens. This review article provides a brief explanation on Probiotics and Prebiotics to improve the host's immunity which considered a replacement for antibiotics. Also critical review on the immunostimulants available from plants, animals, and chemicals against WSSV in shrimps,  the role of Immunostimulants for shrimp aquaculture and finally the microalgae which help to prevent and control diseases caused by Vibrio species.
