Vibrio is a bacteria commonly found in warm, salty, coastal waters. It is often associated with contaminated water and shellfish, leading to gastrointestinal illnesses when consumed. Shellfish, particularly oysters, are filter feeders and can become contaminated with Vibrio from the surrounding water. Consumption of raw or undercooked contaminated shellfish can result in gastrointestinal illness.

Rising Concerns
In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of gastrointestinal illness cases caused by Vibrio species. Several factors contribute to this rise:
- Global Warming: Increasing global temperatures have resulted in warmer waters, creating more favourable conditions for Vibrio to thrive.
- Demographic Changes: Population growth and an increase in tourism in coastal areas have led to higher exposure to contaminated waters.
- Recreational Water Use: More people are engaging in recreational activities in water, increasing the risk of illness.
- Seafood Consumption Patterns: Changes in seafood consumption habits have also contributed to the rise in Vibrio-related illnesses.
