Abstract

As the production and consumption of aquaculture products increase, so does the risk of diseases transmitted between humans and aquatic animals. Some pathogens derived from fish, oysters and other aquatic animals that can be zoonotic through open wounds include Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella tarda, Mycobacterium marinum, Streptococcus iniae, Vibrio vulnificus, Yersinia rukueri, Vibrio damsela and other pathogens. These pathogens are all native to the aquatic environment and cause disease after entering the body. These opportunistic bacteria infect humans, and the diseases that result from them develop individually or in people with immunodeficiency. Most of these infections in fish do not cause disease, but they can cause serious illness in humans. The prevalence of these pathogens is often related to management factors such as the quality and quantity of food in the water and the high density of storage, which can increase microbial loads on the external surface and living environment of the fish. As a result, infected fish can transmit the infection to humans. This review shows a report of Aquatic zoonotic diseases around the world and ways to transmit them to humans.
