Vibrio parahaemolyticus -- United States
The Maryland Department of Health is warning consumers to avoid eating fresh crab meat imported from Venezuela because of potential risk of infection.
The Department is investigating a cluster of _Vibrio_ infections in individuals who reported eating "fresh" (non-pasteurized) crab meat from a plastic tub with a label indicating that it is imported from Venezuela. The imported crab meat is sold under different brand names. Maryland crab products have not been associated with this cluster.
