Environmental investigations of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in oysters after outbreaks in Washington, Texas, and New York (1997 and 1998)
Article Abstract:
Researchers used nonradioactive DNA probes to measure levels of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in shellfish after outbreaks of illness in Puget Sound, Washington, Galveston Bay, Texas, and Long Island Sound, New York. Only two samples from Washington and Texas exceeded the limit of 10,000 per gram.

Seasonal abundance of total and pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Alabama oysters
Article Abstract:
Results indicate a higher ratio of pahogenic to total Vibrio parahaemolyticus in U.S. Gulf Coast oysters during winter months. This correlates with the disease incidence in winter months. Further, majority of the other pathogenic strains from the Gulf Coast are infected with these V. parahaemolyticus virulence traits.

Molecular, serological, and virulence characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from environmental, food, and clinical sources in North America and Asia
Article Abstract:
The relationship between the thermostable direct hemolysin gene containing Vibrio parahaemolyticus from the United States environmental and oysters and clinical isolates from the united States and Asia is examined. Data indicate that only certain serotypes or ribotypes are associated with human disease as revealed by the fact that certain serotype and ribotype exhibit both clinical and environmental isolates, while others contain only the latter.
