Abstract

The prevalence of Vibrio parashaemolyticus and V. cholerae in fishes, crustaceans and molluscs from various inarkets of India was studied. For this purpose 426 samples comprising 192 freshwater fish, 182 marine fish, 13 marine prawns, 13 freshwater prawns and 26 molluscs were analysed. In the study, 12 V. parahaemolyticus, 10 V. cholerae non 0:1, one V. fischeri and 9 V. alginolyticus were isolated. Of these V. parahaemolyticus was isolated only from marine species. All the NAG vibrios isolated were negative for production of heat labile cholera toxin when tested with latex agglutination and coagglutination tests. The importance of these vibrios in diarrhoeal disorders in fish consumers has been suggested.
