“…Environmental parameters, such as temperature, salinity or plankton abundance have an effect on Vibrio spp. communities and abundances (Blackwell and Oliver, 2008;Caburlotto et al, 2010;Drake et al, 2007;Martinez-Urtaza et al, 2008;Thompson et al, 2004b;Turner et al, 2009;Vezzulli et al, 2009). Vezzulli et al (2010) and Schets et al (2010) identified seawater temperature as a key factor influencing the presence of Vibrio spp., for instance it is well documented that V. parahaemolyticus favours warmer water temperatures (Sobrinho et al, 2010).…”

The taxonomic composition of biofilms on marine microplastics is widely unknown. Recent sequencing results indicate that potentially pathogenic Vibrio spp. might be present on floating microplastics. Hence, these particles might function as vectors for the dispersal of pathogens. Microplastics and water samples collected in the North and Baltic Sea were subjected to selective enrichment for pathogenic Vibrio species. Bacterial colonies were isolated from CHROMagar™Vibrio and assigned to Vibrio spp. on the species level by MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/IonisationTime of Flight Mass Spectrometry). Respective polymers were identified by ATR FT-IR (Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform -Infrared Spectroscopy). We discovered potentially pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus on a number of microplastic particles, e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene from North/Baltic Sea. This study confirms the indicated occurrence of potentially pathogenic bacteria on marine microplastics and highlights the urgent need for detailed biogeographical analyses of marine microplastics.

“…Infections caused by V. vulnificus show different clinical presentations, of which the primary septicemia, wound infections, and gastroenteritis are the most prevalent 16 . Vibrio vulnifi cus infections are serious and appear to be rare in Brazil, although there is little information concerning the actual incidence of these infections.…”

Introduction:This research aimed to identify and quantify potentially pathogenic Vibrio from different cultivations of bivalve shellfi sh in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and water regions in the South Bay, as well as correlate the incidence of these microorganisms with the physicochemical parameters of marine waters. Methods: Between October 2008 and March 2009, 60 oyster and seawater samples were collected from six regions of bivalve mollusk cultivation, and these samples were submitted for Vibrio counts. Results: Twenty-nine (48.3%) oyster samples were revealed to be contaminated with one or more Vibrio species. The Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnifi cus counts in the samples ranged from < 0.5 log 10 Most Probable Number (MPN) g -1 to 2.3 log 10 MPN g -1 oyster and from < 0.5 log 10 MPN g -1 to 2.1 log 10 MPN g -1 oyster, respectively. Of the 60 seawater samples analyzed, 44 (73.3%) showed signs of contamination with one or more vibrio species. The counts of V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnifi cus in the samples ranged from < 0.3 log 10 MPN·100mL -1 to 1.7 log 10 MPN·100mL -1 seawater and from < 0.3 log 10 MPN·100mL -1 to 2.0 log 10 MPN·100mL -1 seawater, respectively. A positive correlation between V. vulnifi cus counts and the seawater temperature as well as a negative correlation between the V. parahaemolyticus counts and salinity were observed. Conclusions:The results suggest the need to implement strategies to prevent vibrio diseases from being transmitted by the consumption of contaminated bivalve shellfi sh.

“…Algo similar sucede con las vibriosis, observándose en los últimos 15 años un incremento significativo de casos por Vibrio parahaemolyticus, pasando de brotes esporá-dicos a grandes brotes atribuidos al consumo de ostras recolectadas en aguas con mayor temperatura (Drake et al, 2007). Vibrio cholerae es el mejor modelo para entender el potencial de los cambios inducidos por el clima en la transmisión de este patógeno, ya que la enfermedad es endémica sólo en ciertas regiones del mundo: zonas tropicales y subtropicales.…”

RESUMENEl propósito de esta revisión es evaluar los efectos del cambio climático y de la globalización en el comportamiento epidemiológico de las zoonosis transmitidas por los alimentos. Los mayores efectos se han generado por la globalización, donde el cambio de hábitos de las personas, el aumento en el transporte de pasajeros, el movimiento de animales, la mayor disponibilidad de alimentos, y el aumento en el comercio internacional de alimentos, ingredientes y materias primas, han generado mayor diseminación de agentes patógenos. Las modificaciones de las temperaturas y el aumento en la frecuencia de fenómenos climáticos extremos, como grandes sequías e inundaciones, han afectado a los patógenos que se pueden transmitir por los alimentos, lo que ha generado la desaparición y aparición de nuevos patógenos en los alimentos. Debido a que el cambio climático y la globalización son procesos constantes y dinámicos, se necesita mayor investigación y colaboración entre las organizaciones mundiales relacionadas con los alimentos, con la sanidad humana y animal, que permitan determinar el efecto que estos fenómenos tienen sobre las zoonosis transmitidas por los alimentos.Palabras clave: zoonosis, globalización, cambio climático, alimentos, enfermedades. ABSTRACTThe objective of this review was to evaluate the effects of climate change and globalization on the epidemiological behavior of zoonosis transmitted by food. Globalization has affected people's habits and has led to an increased transport of passengers and movement of animals, greater availability of foods and an increase in the international trade of foods, ingredients and raw materials, resulting in an increased spread of pathological agents. The changes in temperatures and the increased frequency of extreme climatological events, such as severe droughts and flooding, have affected pathogens that can be transmitted by food, leading to the disappearance of old pathogens and emergence of new pathogens in foods. Since climate change and globalization are constant and dynamic processes, further research and support from world organizations for food and human and animal health are needed to determine the effect of these phenomena on zoonosis transmitted by foods.
