TLDR
The morphological and biochemical characteristics of 50 isolates conformed in general to those described for this organism in the literature, and all isolates produced hemolysis on blood-agar.Abstract:
Vibrio parahaemolyticus was isolated from water and oysters collected from seven different sampling stations in the Great Bay and Little Bay estuarine areas of New Hampshire. The morphological and biochemical characteristics of 50 isolates conformed in general to those described for this organism in the literature. All isolates produced hemolysis on blood-agar. To date, there have been no reports of V. parahaemolyticus food poisoning outbreaks due to the consumption of fish or shellfish harvested from this estuarine region.read more

TL;DR: To prevent V. parahaemolyticus infections, persons should avoid consumption of raw or undercooked shellfish and exposure of wounds to seawater.

Vibrio Parahaemolyticus and Related Halophilic Vibrios
TL;DR: The relationship of this organism to the environment reveals a close association with other marine organisms especially copepods on which the Vibrios depend for survival in winter months and growth in summer months and a uniquely provocative disparity between human strains of V. parahaemolyticus.

TL;DR: Oyster and seawater samples were collected seasonally from May 1984 through April 1985 from shellfish-growing areas in Washington, California, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, and Rhode Island which had been designated as approved or prohibited by the National Shellfish Sanitation Program.

Seasonal incidence of Vibrio vulnificus in the Great Bay estuary of New Hampshire and Maine.
TL;DR: There was a strong correlation (by analysis of variance) between temperature, salinity, and the presence of V. vulnificus in water and oysters in the Great Bay estuary of New Hampshire and Maine.

TL;DR: It is said that over 50 % of the diagnosed outbreaks of bacterial gastro-enteritis in Japan may have been caused by the organism, which has been isolated repeatedly from further outbreaks of gastro-Enteritis implicating in sea-fish and its products.

TL;DR: Samples of the Pacific oyster, obtained on a regular basis for 26 months from a single environment, showed a close correlation between total numbers of mesophilic vibrios and the overlying water temperature; the seasonal counts of oysters ranged from less than 10 to greater than 100,000 per g.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus from the Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus in Chesapeake Bay
TL;DR: Strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the etiologic agent of "Shirasu" food poisoning in Japan, were isolated from moribund blue crabs Callinectes sapidus and identified by biochemical and serological techniques.
