Climate change causes rise in Vibrio, says study:Bacteria a cause for concern for people who handle live shellfish

摘要

Recent research has revealed that climate change and rising ocean temperatures have, and continue to, create optimal conditions for a variety of Vibrio cholerae - a naturally occurring bacteria that is often found in zooplankton, particularly in copepods. Due to the potential health hazards of certain types of Vibrio, research has shown some of the first ever demonstrable human impacts of climate change. For those in the aquaculture industry, increased presence of Vibrio in ocean water and shellfishpresents an increased risk and may require enhanced safety protocols.
