Complete Genome Sequence of a Bacteriophage, pVco-5, That Infects Vibrio coralliilyticus , Which Causes Bacillary Necrosis in Pacific Oyster ( Crassostrea gigas ) Larvae

ABSTRACT We report here the complete genome sequence of the Vibrio coralliilyticus -specific phage pVco-5, a double-stranded DNA virus isolated from an oyster hatchery tank. Vibrio coralliilyticus causes bacillary necrosis in marine bivalve larvae; hence, phage pVco-5 could be used to prevent V. cor...

Summary:ABSTRACT We report here the complete genome sequence of the Vibrio coralliilyticus -specific phage pVco-5, a double-stranded DNA virus isolated from an oyster hatchery tank. Vibrio coralliilyticus causes bacillary necrosis in marine bivalve larvae; hence, phage pVco-5 could be used to prevent V. coralliilyticus infections in these larvae.
