In the ocean, its numbers are generally near 10 millions of particles per mL of water, a value that decreases with water depth, coastal distance depth, and coastal distance ( Cochlan et al., 1993 Paul et al., 1993). Viruses infecting bacteria, known as bacteriophages or phages, are the most common and diverse entities in the biosphere, especially in aquatic environments ( Breitbart and Rohwer, 2005 Suttle, 2005). Our model was initially conceived as an estimator for the effectiveness of the inoculation of phages as antibacterial therapy for aquaculture, is also suitable for a wide range of potential applications. The predictions generated by our model were validated in laboratory. It does not require data from previously performed adhesion experiments. Our model requires knowledge of bacteria and bacteriophage concentrations and the measurements of bacterial size and velocity to predict both the number of bacteriophages adsorbed onto their bacterial host and the number of infected bacteria in a given specific time. 6Instituto de Ciencias Naturales Alexander von Humboldt, Facultad de Ciencias del Mar y Recursos BiolГіgicos, Universidad de Antofagasta, Antofagasta, ChileДЄ mathematical first-order difference equation was designed to predict the dynamics of the phage-bacterium adsorption process in aquatic environments, under laboratory conditions.5Departamento de MatemГЎtica, FГsica y EstadГstica, Facultad de Ciencias BГЎsicas, Universidad CatГіlica del Maule, Talca, Chile.4Centro de BiotecnologГa de los Recursos Naturales, Facultad de AgronomГa y Ciencias Forestales, Universidad CatГіlica del Maule, Talca, Chile.3Departamento de MatemГЎticas, Facultad de Ciencias BГЎsicas, Universidad de Antofagasta, Antofagasta, Chile.2Laboratorio de MicrobiologГa Costera, Facultad de Ciencias del Mar y Recursos BiolГіgicos, Universidad de Antofagasta, Antofagasta, Chile.1Centro de InvestigaciГіn en Estudios Avanzados del Maule (CIEAM), VicerrectorГa de InvestigaciГіn y Postgrado, Universidad CatГіlica del Maule, Talca, Chile.Alex EcheverrГa-Vega 1*, Pablo Morales-Vicencio 2, Camila Saez-Saavedra 2, MarГa Alejandra Alvarez 3, Felipe Gordillo 4, Rodrigo Del-Valle 5, Ma.
