Consumption of contaminated seafoods is a major cause of death and hospitalization particularly in poor and developing countries. As with other food types, seafoods are also not free of food-borne pathogens and several risk factors are associated with its consumption. Regarding seafoods, there are regulatory hygienic alerts in importing countries. This paper briefly reviews the occurrence of se...

The increased resistance of campylobacters to antibiotics required the identification and isolation novel antimicrobials able inhibit its virulence, cause less or no display host toxicity. Acquiring all this knowledge was only possible through a better understanding their antibacterial potency biological mechanisms involved attenuating bacterial virulence factors. This review describes most rec...

new approaches for treatment of infectious diseases in aquatic animals have important roles in aquaculture technology progress. in the present study, in vitro effects of different extracts of propolis, royal jelly and pollen obtained from beehives have been investigated on aquatic pathogenic bacterial isolates. the isolated bacteria identified on the basis of their biochemical properties and se...

•Bivariate and Multivariate linear and log-linear models to explore the relationships between diarrhea and fly densities, demographics, hygiene, and human/animal interactions. •91 episodes of diarrhea occurred (89% in under 5s) from 8/6/2010 to 1/31/2011. •Stool pathogens isolated in 24 of 77 (31%) of samples: E.coli, Shigella spp., Vibrio spp., Giardia, Cryptosporidium spp., and Rotavirus. •6,...

INTRODUCTION Diarrhoea remains a major cause of illness in Papua New Guinea (PNG); however, little is known about its aetiology. As a result of the cholera outbreak that spread throughout PNG in 2009-2011, we conducted diarrhoeal surveillance in Eastern Highlands Province. METHODOLOGY Following informed consent and a brief questionnaire, participants provided a stool sample or duplicate recta...

 The present study was aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in Vibrios spp. isolated from seafood. A total of 72 isolates of Vibrio in 6 species including V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, V. alginolyticus, V. harveyi, V. mimicus and V. cholerae were examined. The results revealed that all isolates were expressing multiple antibiotic r...
