Abstract

Abstract: Human vibriosis, caused by pathogenic Vibrio spp., such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio vulnificus, has been increasing worldwide, mediated by increasing consumption of seafood. The present study was conducted to examine the global prevalence of V. vulnificus, V. parahaemolyticus and V. cholerae in fishes. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and CNKI for peer-reviewed articles and dissertations prior to December 31, 2021. A total of 24, 831 articles were retrieved, and 82 articles contained 61 fish families were included. The global pooled prevalence of V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus in fishes was 9.56 % (95 % CI: 2.12–20.92), 24.77 % (95 % CI: 17.40–32.93) and 5.29 % (95 % CI: 0.38–13.61), respectively. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses showed that study-level covariates, including temperature, country, continent, origin and detection methods partly explained the between-study heterogeneity. These heterogeneities were underpinned by differences of the three Vibrio spp. in fishes at geographical and climatic scales. These results reveal a high global prevalence of pathogenic Vibrio spp. in fishes and highlight the need for implementation of more effective prevention and control measures to reduce food-borne infection in humans. Graphical abstract: Unlabelled Image Highlights: Comprehensive statistics on the prevalence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio vulnificus of fishes was conducted. Global prevalence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio vulnificus in different fish families was calculated. Geographical and climatic scales affect the prevalence of foodborne Vibrio spp. in fish.
