This document discusses research on the use of garlic (Allium sativum) as an alternative treatment for marine shrimp. In vitro and in vivo studies found that garlic has antibacterial properties against Vibrio bacteria, reduces gregarine parasite infections in shrimp, and enhances the immune system of shrimp. Specifically, garlic extract reduced the minimum inhibitory concentration of Vibrio bacteria and eliminated gregarine infections in shrimp after 4 weeks of feeding. It also increased the phagocytic activity and superoxide production of shrimp hemocytes, indicating immunostimulatory effects. However, more research is still needed to determine the optimal dosages and durations of garlic application for maximum therapeutic benefits against diseases in commercial shrimp farming operations.

Protein was extracted from muscles of Channa striatus and attempts were
made to evaluate in vitro antibacterial activity against clinical bacterial isolates. The
higher concentration of protein (100μg/ml) extracts exhibited a pronounced activity
against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (21 mm), Proteus vulgaris (19 mm), Citrobacter sp
(19 mm), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18 mm), Micrococcus sp (17 mm), Bacillus subtilis (16
mm), Staphylococcus aureus (15 mm), E. coli (14 mm) and Serratia marcescens (5
mm). The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration
were found to be 20-40 μg/ml and 80-100 μg/ml respectively for the extracts of
Channa striatus protein against test organisms. This study confirms that C. striatus fish
protein extracts possess antibacterial activity against a wide range of microbes and
justified that it could be used in the traditional medicine as a remedy for the
treatment of bacterial diseases.

Studies on Antimicrobial Activity of Spices and Effect of Temperature and Ph ...iosrjce
Spices are reported to be antibacterial and have medicinal values. Spices such as garlic (Allium
sativum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), clove (Eugenia caryophyllata), cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
posses antimicrobial effect and has been used traditionally. In this study we studied the antibacterial activity of
spices, effect of temperature and pH on its antibacterial effect. It was tested against four test microorganisms
Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi by aqueous extracts of spices
using agar diffusion method. On observation, it was found that all the spices showed inhibitory effect and garlic
showed maximum inhibition on Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. On treating the extracts of garlic and
ginger at both room temperature (26°C) and at higher temperature (100°C) it was seen that garlic has
significantly greater zone of inhibition than ginger. Therefore higher temperature reduces the antibacterial
effect of both extract, but garlic retains its antibacterial activity. On treating the garlic extract with different pH,
it was seen that the antibacterial effect was decreasing on increasing with pH but the antibacterial property was
never lost. Therefore garlic can be used as an effective source for food preservation and also as a natural herbal antibiotic with or without boiling.

Arsenic in its inorganic form is toxic and can cause severe health effects including cancers. In several
in vitro experiments, arsenic exposure has shown multiple effects at the molecular level. However, the
proper understanding of the role of arsenic in the cause of these diseases is still limited. In this work, we
demonstrated the toxicity effect of sodium arsenite in the liver tissues of freshwater fish Channa punctatus
and observed the histopathological as well as surface ultrastructural changes on it. A simultaneous study
was performed to observe the protective effect of garlic extract (Allium sativum L.) on the liver tissue of
arsenic-induced C. punctatus. The liver tissue of the control group showed a normal histoarchitecture.
The arsenic-exposed liver tissue revealed hepatic lesions in the form of cloudy swelling of hepatocytes,
vacuolar degeneration, karyolysis, dilation of sinusoids, and nuclear hypertrophy. Lesser hepatic
alternation was observed in the liver tissue of arsenic-exposed C. punctatus concurrently treated with
garlic extract. The protective effect of garlic was shown in the normalization of hepatocytes in the
arsenic-induced liver tissue.

Antifungal activity of lichen extracts and usnic acid for controlling the sap...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Aquatic oomycetous fungi often cause serious damage to fresh water fishes. Antifungal activity of acetone extracts of three fruticose lichens namely, Cladonia amaurocraea, Cladonia rangiferina and Usnea longissima were investigated against three pathogenic oomycete fungi which can cause serious saprolegniasis: Saprolegnia parasitica, Achlya bisexualis and Pythium sp.. Usnic acid was also examined for antifungal activity against the pathogenic fungi. The minimum inhibitory concentration of usnic acid and lichen extracts for the tested fungi Saprolegnia parasitica and Achlya bisexualis were 2 mg L-1, 200 mg L-1 respectively. The higher concentration was needed to inhibit mycelial growth of Pythium sp.. The result suggests that the potential of using usnic acid and lichen extracts for controlling the saprolegniasis.

Abstract
Application of garlic (Allium sativum L.) as an alternate therapeutic for marine shrimp
will be discussed. Garlic had a bactericidal property against the Vibrio spp., the major
caused of bacterial diseases of marine shrimp, as evident from the MIC values obtained
from the in vitro study. In addition, it had a potent to diminish the protozoa; gregarines
infection in culture shrimp, however its effect on viral disease infection is limited and
requires more further studies. Besides, garlic could stimulate the shrimp hemocytes as
determined by the cellular immune responses (phagocytic activity, superoxide anion
production and phenoloxidase activity) suggesting the immunostimulatory properties of
garlic that will be useful for improvement of shrimp health. However, the optimum
dosages and duration of garlic application in the real culture system on bactericidal,
parasitological, virulicidal and immunostimulatory effects are needed to be approved
before distribute this information to the farmers.
Keywords: Garlic, shrimp, immunomodulation, bactericidal, diseases.
Introduction
Garlic (Allium sativam L.) is one of the common medicinal plants possess the
wide ranges of antimicrobial properties. It has been proved to be useful for therapeutic of
virus, bacteria, parasites, fungi and protozoans in Human. Allicin has been identified as
the major active pharmaceutical molecule found in crashed garlic, however it has a very
short haft-life as it react with many of the surrounding proteins. Allicin is derived from an
amino acid called alliin which is a stable precursor that will be converted to allicin by the
action of an enzyme allinase presented in the garlic cloves. Beside on the antimicrobial
properties of allicin it also had immunomodulatory effect. Garlic was used to prevent and
treat the bacterial and fungal diseases of fish in China by mixing one kilogram of garlic
with powdered feed five kilograms, one kilogram sodium chloride and one kilogram of
binder (Bai, 1994). The shrimp farmers in some areas of Thailand commonly use garlic in
their farm to clean up the intestinal tract of shrimp. They believed that garlic help the
culture shrimp to have better feeding after include the garlic paste in shrimp feed.
Nevertheless, the scientific reason for this effect has not been postulated yet. This
document trying to discuss some studies have been conducted in the laboratory and in the
field to examine the effects of garlic on improvement of shrimp health and looking for
the future research that needed to be investigated to complete the information on
application of garlic in shrimp culture and other aquaculture activities in future.

Screening for efficacy of garlic
Bacteria & Fungi
The broth dilution assay and the disc or agar well diffusion assay are the
commonly in vitro methods used for initial screening the potential antibacterial of
medicinal plant (Cowan, 1999). Then more details studies of their antibiotic effects
should be conducted by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in
comparable with others currently used antibiotics. The MIC value of fresh garlic against
seven Vibrio strains was determined by disc diffusion method in comparison with
standard bacteria; V. cholerae ATCC 14035 and E. coli ATCC 25922. It showed a good
bactericidal potent against all seven strains of tested bacteria and gave 0.156-0.312 mg/ml
of MIC values as shown in Table 1 (Montira et al., 2005).

V. cholerae ATCC 14035 0.156
E. coli ATCC 25922 0.312
(Montira et al., 2005)
Fungal & Virus
Garlic has been reported to possess anti-fungal (Yoshida et al., 1987) and antiviral
(Weber et al., 1992) properties. Fresh garlic extract was proved for its in vitro virucidal
effects against viral infection in Human. However, there are no such effects of garlic has
been studied in shrimp. Since virus infection is the major problem for shrimp culture
therefore the virucidal effect of garlic in shrimp is attractive for future study.
Parasites & Protozoans
Chutchawanchaipan et al. (2004) reported the efficacy of fresh garlic paste for
reducing the number of parasites; gregarines from the midgut of black tiger shrimp. Ten
gram of fresh garlic paste was mixed with one kilogram of commercial feed, coated with
20 milliliters of chitosan, and fed to shrimp in three earth ponds for 5 weeks. The shrimps
were sampled before start feeding diet containing garlic and every week after started
feeding of garlic paste mixed diet, 20 shrimps each, to examine the number of gregarines
in the intestinal tract of cultured shrimp using histological techniques. Numbers of shrimp
infected with gregarines were 100 % reduced after fed garlic containing diet for 4 weeks
respectively (Table 2).

Immunostimulatory
In vitro phagocytosis is one of screening method for the detection of
immunostimulating compounds (Wagner, 1990). Effects of fresh garlic extract on
phagocytic activity of P. monodon hemocytes was tested in vitro at Coastal Aquatic
Animal health Rearch Institute. Higher phagocytic activity was found in hemocytes
treated with garlic extract (78.7 %) compared to control cells without pre-incubation with
garlic extract (64.1%) as shown in Figure 2. In vitro production of superoxide anion (O2
-
)
from P. monodon hemocytes was also examined using the NBT reduction method to
determine the potential killing of hemocytes after stimulation with zymozan.
Concentrated garlic extract (100% and 10%) were toxic to the hemocytes as evident from
the high number of hemocytes died under trypan blue exclusion test and this resulted in a

low production of NBT and PO activity as shown in figure 3 and 4. However, a certain
dilution of garlic extract could increase the NBT activity of shrimp hemocytes (Figure 3)
indicating the potential of garlic extract on killing ability of shrimp hemocytes. In vitro
activation of prophenol oxidase activity of P. monodon hemocytes was performed in
comparison to a well known proPO activator; trypsin as determined from the rate of
optical density (OD) changed upon the dopamine formation. The garlic extract seemed
not to be an effective activator for the proPO system of shrimp hemocytes as shown from
the minor changed of the dopamine formation compared to control, moreover its effect
was inferior to trypsin (Figure 4).

In vivo study the effect of fresh garlic extract on phagocytic activity of shrimp
hemocytes was conducted by feeding shrimp with diets containing different dosages of
fresh garlic extract prior to sample for determination of phagocytic activity at 7 and 14
days post feeding (Figure 5). The phagocytic activity of shrimp feed garlic supplemented
diet were higher than control indicating an effective of garlic on enhancement of the
cellular immune response of shrimp.

Conclusion
Garlic had a potent to treat the parasites; gregarines in culture shrimp, however its
effective on other parasites and protozoans are needed to be examined in the same
manner as done for the gregarines to elucidate further potentiality of garlic. From the in
vitro study, garlic had an antibacterial potent against bacteria Vibrio spp. which are the
major caused of bacterial disease of marine shrimp. However, more information on
optimum dosages and treating duration of garlic in the real culture system are need to be
clarified in order to introduce this kind of knowledge to the farmers to use in their farms
which is the final goal of the research work. Information on virulicidal effects of garlic in
shrimp is reared and the research on this topic is required under either in vitro or in vivo.
In addition, garlic seemed to be benefit to use as an immunostimulant for shrimp
as well since it could activate the function of shrimp hemocytes both in vitro and in vivo.
However, dosages and duration of garlic used in shrimp pond also needed to be fulfilled
as in the case of the above mentioned for bacteria, parasites, and viral diseases.
