Vibrio is a genus of bacteria present in surface and coastal waters as well as in marine organisms worldwide. In many countries, pathogenic Vibrio species are a main cause of bacterial diarrhea, which may result from comsumption of contaminated seafood and fish products or from drinking contaminated water. Vibrio infections may also gain in importance in our regions due to global warming and the increase in the world trade of seafood. The research network "VibrioNet" studies pathogenic Vibrios in the marine environment and in seafood consumed by humans as a potential, new emerging zoonotic agent. An assessment of the risk arising from pathogenic non-cholera-vibrios in central Europe is the target of a multidisciplinary research effort. The research network will be strengthened by cooperations with international partners from countries in which Vibrio infections play a major role (Bangladesh, Chile, India, Thailand, and Vietnam).
弧菌是一类存在于世界各地地表水、沿海水域以及海洋生物中的细菌。在许多国家，致病性弧菌种类是细菌性腹泻的主要病因，细菌性腹泻可能源于食用受污染的海鲜和鱼类产品，或者饮用受污染的水。由于全球变暖和海鲜世界贸易的增加，弧菌感染在我们地区可能也会变得更加重要。“弧菌网络”研究网络将海洋环境和人类食用的海鲜中的致病性弧菌作为一种潜在的新兴人畜共患病原体进行研究。对中欧致病性非霍乱弧菌产生的风险进行评估是一项多学科研究工作的目标。该研究网络将通过与弧菌感染起主要作用的国家（孟加拉国、智利、印度、泰国和越南）的国际伙伴合作得到加强。
