A cholera outbreak in several regions of Syria presents “a serious threat to people in Syria and the region”, the United Nations representative in the country said, calling for an urgent response to contain its spread.

The outbreak is believed to be linked to irrigation of crops using contaminated water and people drinking unsafe water from the Euphrates river which bisects Syria from the north to the east, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Imran Riza said in a statement.

Europe – ECDC Vibrio Map Viewer

Posted on September 13, 2022 by KSW | Leave a comment

ECDC

ECDC Vibrio map viewer

The Vibrio suitability tool (Vibrio map viewer) shows the environmental suitability for Vibrio growth in the Baltic Sea. It is a near real-time model that uses daily updated remote sensing data to examine worldwide environmental conditions, such as sea surface temperature and salinity for Vibrio spp.. The model used for the Vibrio viewer has been calibrated to the Baltic Region in Northern Europe and might not apply to other worldwide settings prior to validation.

Infections caused by Vibrio species other than V. cholerae can be serious, particularly for immunocompromised persons. However, the overall occurrence is low despite an increase having recently been observed in northern Europe.

ECDC monitors Vibrio growth in the Baltic Sea during the summer. If and when the risk of Vibrio growth is determined as medium or above, notifications are reported in the weekly threats reports (CDTR). The original viewer is available on the ECDC website: https://geoportal.ecdc.europa.eu/vibriomapviewer

USA – 2 Florida deaths linked to bacterial infection from eating raw oysters – Vibrio vulnificans

Posted on August 19, 2022 by KSW | Leave a comment

Fox Weather

A warning to shellfish lovers: Health officials are investigating the deaths of two people in Florida linked to eating raw oysters.

The deaths are reportedly linked to oysters from Louisiana. The two separate occasions happened a week apart in Escambia and Broward counties, according to the Florida Department of Health.

Eating raw oysters and other undercooked seafood can put people at risk for infections, including vibriosis, which is caused by certain strains of Vibrio bacteria, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So far this year, there have been 26 Vibrio vulnificus infections reported in Florida. Six of those resulted in deaths, data from the Florida Department of Health shows. Nationally, an estimated 80,000 people have fallen ill and 100 deaths are reported every year from the bacterium that usually lives in warm, brackish seawater, the nation’s top public health agency reports.
