Occurrence and quantification of vibrio parahaemolyticus in shrimp aquaculture and environment

Vibrio spp. occurs naturally in aquatic environments and are one of the most commonlyoccuring bacteria in shrimp farming. At least 14 species had been found in panaeid shrimp culture system. V. parahaemolyticus can cause outbreak of gastroenteritis due to the consumption of raw or undercooked sea...
