Vibrio parahaemolyticus was recovered from 74 of 912 marine samples screened for the organism. Of 74 isolates of V. parahaemolyticus obtained from marine fish, crustacean shellfish (prawns, lobster, crabs), and molluscan shellfish (oysters), and from water and sediment collected off the coast of Kenya, only 33 were positively identified. The isolates were only from seafish and shellfish. The main serotypes were 0,3:K37; 0,3:K40; 0,8:39; 0,10:23; 0,10:K52; and 0,11:K40. All the serotypes were Kanagawa-negative. The rest of the samples, mainly marine sediment and water, revealed what was described as untypable Vibrios. This is the first report of the organism in this part of the world where no clinical disease is reported.
在对912份海洋样本进行该生物体筛查时，从其中74份样本中分离出了副溶血性弧菌。从肯尼亚沿海采集的海水鱼、甲壳类贝类（对虾、龙虾、螃蟹）、软体类贝类（牡蛎）以及水和沉积物中获得的74株副溶血性弧菌分离株中，只有33株得到了阳性鉴定。这些分离株仅来自海鱼和贝类。主要血清型为0,3:K37；0,3:K40；0,8:39；0,10:23；0,10:K52；以及0,11:K40。所有血清型均为神奈川阴性。其余样本主要是海洋沉积物和海水，检测出了所谓的无法分型的弧菌。这是该生物体在世界这一地区的首次报告，该地区未报告有临床疾病。
