Vibrio parahaemolyticus poses a notable threat to marine ecosystems and can cause infections and disease outbreaks in seafood species, which can affect humans upon consumption. The global impacts of such infections and outbreaks on human and animal health led to a growing number of studies from various countries discussing the prevention, control, treatment, and overall implications of V. parahaemolyticus. Hence, this study aims to retrieve relevant studies on V. parahaemolyticus using a bibliometric analysis to understand current research status, trends, and hotspots regarding this bacteria. Relevant literature was searched across the Scopus database, and the data were subsequently analyzed using Biblioshiny software. In addition, a manual examination was conducted to identify the hosts of V. parahaemolyticus and diseases caused by the bacteria. Overall, 7,096 records were obtained from Scopus from 1963 to 2023. A bibliometric analysis identified 17,220 authors, with China emerging as the global leader. The analysis also highlighted significant keywords such as "Vibrio parahaemolyticus," "Litopenaeus vannamei," and "innate immunity," suggesting a focus on the impact of V. parahaemolyticus on L. vannamei, specifically emphasizing the shrimp's innate immune responses. Host-disease interaction network also uncovered 53 interactions between hosts and diseases involving L. vannamei or Penaeus vannamei as the primary host, with acute hepatopancreas necrosis disease (AHPND) emerging as the most prevalent among them. This study can enhance our understanding of infections caused by V. parahaemolyticus and contribute to the development of effective strategies for their prevention and management.
副溶血性弧菌对海洋生态系统构成显著威胁，可导致海鲜物种感染和疾病爆发，人类食用受感染的海鲜后也会受到影响。此类感染和疫情对人类和动物健康的全球影响促使各国开展了越来越多的研究，探讨副溶血性弧菌的预防、控制、治疗及总体影响。因此，本研究旨在通过文献计量分析检索有关副溶血性弧菌的相关研究，以了解该细菌的当前研究现状、趋势和热点。在Scopus数据库中搜索相关文献，随后使用Biblioshiny软件对数据进行分析。此外，还进行了人工检查，以确定副溶血性弧菌的宿主及该细菌引起的疾病。总体而言，从Scopus数据库中获取了1963年至2023年的7096条记录。文献计量分析确定了17220位作者，中国成为全球领先者。分析还突出了一些重要关键词，如“副溶血性弧菌”、“凡纳滨对虾”和“先天免疫”，表明研究重点是副溶血性弧菌对凡纳滨对虾的影响，特别强调了对虾的先天免疫反应。宿主-疾病相互作用网络还揭示了以凡纳滨对虾或南美白对虾为主要宿主的宿主与疾病之间的53种相互作用，其中急性肝胰腺坏死病（AHPND）最为普遍。本研究可以增进我们对副溶血性弧菌引起的感染的了解，并有助于制定有效的预防和管理策略。
