TLDR
Analysis of clinical isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from outbreaks in Chile in the cities of Puerto Montt in 2004 and in Antofagasta in 1998 indicated that 23 of 24 isolates belonged to the pandemic clonal complex that emerged in Southeast Asia in 1996.Abstract:

Heavy use of prophylactic antibiotics in aquaculture: a growing problem for human and animal health and for the environment
TL;DR: Global efforts are needed to promote more judicious use of prophylactic antibiotics in aquaculture as accumulating evidence indicates that unrestricted use is detrimental to fish, terrestrial animals, and human health and the environment.

TL;DR: This investigation extends by 1000 km the northernmost documented source of oysters that caused illness due to V. parahaemolyticus in the United States, and finds that rising temperatures of ocean water seem to have contributed to one of the largest known outbreaks of V.Parahaemollyticus.

Mathematical model for studying genetic variation in terms of restriction endonucleases
Masatoshi Nei,Wen-Hsiung Li +1 more
TL;DR: A mathematical model for the evolutionary change of restriction sites in mitochondrial DNA is developed and a measure called "nucleotide diversity" is proposed to express the degree of polymorphism in a population at the nucleotide level.

TL;DR: This finding explains clinical features of V parahaemolyticus infections, which commonly include inflammatory diarrhoea and in some cases systemic manifestations such as septicaemia, distinct from those of V cholerae infections,Which are generally associated with non-inflammatory diarrhoeA.

Pandemic Spread of an O3:K6 Clone of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Emergence of Related Strains Evidenced by Arbitrarily Primed PCR and toxRS Sequence Analyses

TL;DR: This study presents strong evidence for the first pandemicity in the history of V. parahaemolyticus and reports a novel toxRS-targeted PCR method that will be useful in epidemiological investigation of the cases associated with the current pandemic spread.

Emergence of a unique O3:K6 clone of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Calcutta, India, and isolation of strains from the same clonal group from Southeast Asian travelers arriving in Japan.
Jun Okuda,Masanori Ishibashi,E Hayakawa,T Nishino,Yoshifumi Takeda,A K Mukhopadhyay,S Garg,S K Bhattacharya,G B Nair,Mitsuaki Nishibuchi +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that this unique O3:K6 clone may have become prevalent not only in Calcutta but also in Southeast Asian countries very recently.

TL;DR: This study shows that f237 is exclusively associated with recent V. parahaemolyticus O3:K6 strain KXV237, and the ORF8 gene can be a useful genetic marker for the identification of the recently widespread O3?:K6 strains of V.Parahaemlyticus.
