Abstract
Vibrio infection was rarely reported in Tasmania prior to 2016, when a multistate outbreak of Vibrio
parahaemolyticus associated with Tasmanian oysters was identified and 11 people reported ill. Since
then, sporadic foodborne cases have been identified following consumption of commercially- and
recreationally-harvested oysters. The increases in both foodborne and non-foodborne Vibrio infections
in Tasmania are likely associated with increased sea water temperatures. As oyster production
increases and climate change raises the sea surface temperature of our coastline, Tasmania expects to
see more vibriosis cases. Vibriosis due to oyster consumption has been reported in other Australian
states, but the variability in notification requirements between jurisdictions makes case and outbreak
detection difficult and potentially hampers any public health response to prevent further illness.
