“…Information about microorganisms, including the ones potentially zoonotic agents for marine mammals isolated from Brazilian waters is almost inexistent (23). However, our observations indicated that there is a relatively large group of bacteria, including potential pathogens, that exist in marine mammals in this area.…”

“…However, some of these bacteria are opportunistic and can have the ability to cause disease or death in debilitated or immunosupressed animals. Therefore, these pathogens are important to public health due to the capacity to cause disease in humans and animals, and their monitoring is considered as a relevant tool to prevent diseases (5,7,10,22,23).…”

“…The infectious diseases caused by these pathogens are dangerous to marine animal's health and can potentially affect several species, including endangered marine mammals. Nevertheless, the causative agents of the diseases and their risks to animal and human health are difficult to determine, especially due to the migratory habits of some marine mammals species (4,23).…”

The aquatic environment is the habitat of many microorganisms, including Plesiomonas shigelloides and Aeromonas species which are pathogenic to human and animals. In the present investigation, we evaluated the occurrence of these pathogens from marine mammals beached or accidentally captured by fishing net in southeastern (RJ) and southern (RS) coastal Brazilian regions. A total of 198 swabs from 27 specimens of marine mammals, including 11 different species, were collected by DEENSP and GEMARS-CECLIMAR/ UFRGS Institutes and sent to LRNCEB/IOC/FIOCRUZ. The samples were enriched in Alkaline Peptone Water (APW) added with 1% of sodium chloride (NaCl), APW plus 3% NaCl and incubated at 37ºC for 18-24 hours. Following, samples were streaked onto Pseudomonas-Aeromonas Selective Agar Base (GSP Agar) and suspected colonies were biochemically characterized. The results revealed 114 strains, including ten Aeromonas species and P. shigelloides. The main pathogens isolated were A. veronii biogroup veronii (19.3%), A. caviae (12.3%), A. hydrophila (9.6%) and P. shigelloides (7%). The pathogens were isolated in both coastal and offshore marine mammals. These data point the importance of epidemiological surveillance and microbiological monitoring and reinforce the need to implement environmental protection programs, especially related to endangered cetacean species.

“…In Brazil, regardless of the number of reports indicating the presence of V. vulnificus in seawater, in shellfish and in marine mammals (Garcia‐Moreno and Landgraf ; Pereira et al . ,b; Ramos , ; Costa et al . ); there are only three infection cases reported, and two of them occurred in 2004 in areas that are close to one another.…”

Vibrio parahaemolyticusandVibrio vulnificusin South America: water, seafood and human infections

et al. 2016

The bacterial species, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus, are ubiquitous in estuaries and coastal waters throughout the world, but they also happen to be important human pathogens. They are concentrated by filter-feeding shellfish which are often consumed raw or undercooked, providing an important potential route of entry for an infective dose of these bacteria. Vibrio parahaemolyticus can cause abdominal cramping, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, chills and fever. Vibrio vulnificus can cause similar gastrointestinal-related symptoms, but can also spread to the bloodstream, resulting in primary septicaemia, and it can also cause disease via wound infections. The objective of this article is to summarize, for the first time, the incidence and importance of V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus in South America, in environmental waters and seafood, especifically molluscan shellfish, as well as human infection cases and outbreaks. It appears that infections from V. parahaemolyticus have been more strongly related to shellfish ingestion and have been more frequently reported on the Pacific coast of South America. Conversely, V. vulnificus has been more frequently acquired by water contact with open wounds and its presence has been more heavily reported along the Atlantic coast of South America, and while documented to cause serious mortality, have been relatively few in number. The impacts of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have been observed to cause an increase in V. parahaemolyticus outbreaks on the Pacific coast of South America. The implementation of a regulated monitoring approach, along with the use of faster, more accurate and virulence-specific detection approaches, such as PCR confirmation, should be considered to detect the presence of pathogenic Vibrio strains in environmental and seafood samples for protection of public health. Furthermore, improved clinical surveillance with suspected cases should be implemented. This review highlights the need for more research and monitoring of vibrios in South America, in water, shellfish and clinical samples.

“…No Brasil, estudos têm demonstrado a presença de Vibrio spp. no ecossistema aquático, lesões cutâneas em pescadores, lesões superficiais de mamíferos (PEREIRA et al, 2007) e a partir de alimentos de origem marinha (pescados) caracterizando seu envolvimento em casos de doenças de transmissão alimentar (DTA). Profissionais do ramo da pesca, mergulhadores e manipuladores de alimentos representam grupo de risco nas infecções causadas por vibriões (RODRIGUES et al, 1992;RODRIGUES et al, 2001;PEREIRA, 2003).…”
