Abstract

We reviewed and analyzed the existing data on vibriosis in Southeast Asia to better understand its burden and prevalent causal agents. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE for studies published between January 2000 and April 2024. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to estimate the pooled isolation rate of non-cholera Vibrio species. Among the 1385 retrieved studies, 22 met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review and 11 were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled isolation rate of non-cholera Vibrio species among diarrheal patients was 5.0 %. Most species that caused vibriosis included V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, V. vulnificus, non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae, V. fluvialis, and V. alginolyticus. Pooled isolation rate of V. parahaemolyticus and non-O1 V. cholerae were 7.0, and 4.0, respectively. The prevalence of vibriosis in Southeast Asia is non-negligible. Public health strategies should prioritize enhanced surveillance, and clinicians should consider vibriosis in diarrheal patients with seafood consumption history.
