A Mini Review: Cholera Outbreak via Shellfish

Abstract: Problem statement: Food borne illness occurs all over the world. Vibrio cholerae is the etiological agent of cholera which is spread by contaminated food, water or direct fecal contact with food handlers. There are also examples of sporadic outbreaks of illness attributed to raw products eaten unprocessed. Consequently, there was a widespread concern that food in international trade carries pathogenic microorganisms that could result in outbreaks of illness… Show more

“…The presence of V. cholerae in the HP of apparently healthy penaeids matches results published by Suzita et al (15). According to the latter, V. cholerae occurs in salt and brackish water, freely or associated with zooplankton and algae, and may adhere strongly to the digestive tract of marine organisms.…”

“…Stauder et al described two V. cholerae colo nization factors promoting adhesion to chitin: mannose sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA) and N acetylglu cosamine binding protein A (GbpA) [37]. Thus, seafood can be an important reservoir of pathogenic vibrios, and thus constitute a serious threat to human health [38,39] and risk of development of epidemics.…”
