Epidemiological and microbiological investigation of a large increase in vibriosis, northern Europe, 2018
BACKGROUND: Vibriosis cases in Northern European countries and countries bordering the Baltic Sea increased during heatwaves in 2014 and 2018. AIM: We describe the epidemiology of vibriosis and the genetic diversity of Vibrio spp. isolates from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Poland and Estonia in...

description | BACKGROUND: Vibriosis cases in Northern European countries and countries bordering the Baltic Sea increased during heatwaves in 2014 and 2018. AIM: We describe the epidemiology of vibriosis and the genetic diversity of Vibrio spp. isolates from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Poland and Estonia in 2018, a year with an exceptionally warm summer. METHODS: In a retrospective study, we analysed demographics, geographical distribution, seasonality, causative species and severity of non-travel-related vibriosis cases in 2018. Data sources included surveillance systems, national laboratory notification databases and/or nationwide surveys to public health microbiology laboratories. Moreover, we performed whole genome sequencing and multilocus sequence typing of available isolates from 2014 to 2018 to map their genetic diversity. RESULTS: In 2018, we identified 445 non-travel-related vibriosis cases in the study countries, considerably more than the median of 126 cases between 2014 and 2017 (range: 87–272). The main reported mode of transmission was exposure to seawater. We observed a species-specific geographical disparity of vibriosis cases across the Nordic-Baltic region. Severe vibriosis was associated with infections caused by Vibrio vulnificus (adjOR: 17.2; 95% CI: 3.3–90.5) or Vibrio parahaemolyticus (adjOR: 2.1; 95% CI: 1.0–4.5), age ≥ 65 years (65–79 years: adjOR: 3.9; 95% CI: 1.7–8.7; ≥ 80 years: adjOR: 15.5; 95% CI: 4.4–54.3) or acquiring infections during summer (adjOR: 5.1; 95% CI: 2.4–10.9). Although phylogenetic analysis revealed diversity between Vibrio spp. isolates, two V. vulnificus clusters were identified. CONCLUSION: Shared sentinel surveillance for vibriosis during summer may be valuable to monitor this emerging public health issue. |
