ObjectivesIncrease the publics awareness of Vibrio
parahaemolyticusImprove awareness of shellfish food poisoningProvide safe seafood processing for the public
and specific stakeholdersIncrease surveillance monitoring in:
Puget Sound shorelines Seafood processing factories

Etiology of Vibrio parahaemolyticusVibrio
parahaemolyticus is similar to cholera
Found in brackish saltwater with fecal contamination
The concentration is highest during summer months

Mode of TransmissionAcquisition is through ingestion of
contaminated seafood or waterSwimming in contaminated water with open
wounds Symptoms: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting,
fevers, and chillsDrugs of choice for prolong
cases or immunosuppressed:TetracyclineCiprofloxacin

Statistics 1 in 6 Americans (48 million) suffer from food
borne illnesses 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die annually
Estimated 4,500 cases annually 825 cases of vibriosis in 2009 in the US
217 in the pacific, 48 cases in Washington. 386 (47%) were caused by V. parahaemolyticus
81 hospitalizations and 2 deaths half of the cases by seafood
Most isolated Vibrio species in stool78% of cases occur during summer

Consumer ProductionRoughly 100 shellfish companiesThe Nisbet Oyster Co., Inc.:
Over 500 acres of tideland State of the art processingHigh Hydrostatic Pressure Process over 2 million pounds of shellfish yearly

Current DOH GuidelinesLicensed annually and inspected for
compliance and sanitary standards Over 300 operations licensed by the DOHMonitored by the Puget Sound Ecosystem2010, 1.4% of sampling stations had very
high fecal pollution index between 2.5 and 3 range FPI=1 is good and FPI=3 is bad

Review of Materials Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a highly pathogenic
enteric bacteria Contaminates saltwater Contaminates shellfish
New and existing shellfish companies should be monitored
High need for resources to deliver shellfish closures
Practices to reduces risk:Correct harvesting Safe cooking
