Abstract

This article conducts a general overview on FOOD BORNE OUTBREAKS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME PATHOGENS FOUND IN SEAFOOD in Nigeria. The immediate aim is to create awareness of the existence of such PATHOGENS as a source of microbiological and public health hazzard and to call the attention of public health policy makers to conduct overreaching research to proffer relevant and far reaching solutions. FOOD BORNE OUTBREAKS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME PATHOGENS FOUND IN SEAFOOD in Nigeria could be outlined as Vibrio cholerae,  Vibrio parahaemolyticus,  Psychrobacter, Photobacterium etc. The article therefore recommends routine surveillance, stringent hygiene practices, and public health education to stem the tide. It also advocates for preventative strategies—such as monitoring harvest waters, enforcing seafood safety regulations, proper cooking of  seafood, continued Research and a One Health approach to safeguard public health.
