title: Isolation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from Persian Gulf.
abstract: We have been able to establish, for the first time, the presence of V. parahaemolyticus in the waters of the Persian Gulf. Samples were collected from water, fish, shrimp, sand and sea vegetation around various coastal towns of the Persian Gulf during November 1977--April 1978. Various biochemical tests have confirmed the identification of an isolate from one of the water samples as V. parahaemolyticus.
