Background information
This risk profile was commissioned following the 2016 multi-jurisdictional outbreak of Vibrio parahaemolyticus associated with Tasmanian shellfish. A pilot survey identified potentially pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus at harvest and Vibrio Control Plans were implemented. The risk profile considers information from a 2.5 year Vibrio survey of 11 oyster growing areas in Tasmania.
