Abstract Background Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the predominant etiological agent of seafood-associated foodborne illnesses on a global scale. It is essential to elucidate the mechanisms by which this pathogen disseminates. Given the existing research predominantly concentrates on localized outbreaks, there is a pressing necessity for a comprehensive investigation to capture strains of V. parahaemolyticus cross borders. Results This study examined the frequency and genetic attributes of imported V. parahaemolyticus strains among travelers entering Shanghai Port, China, between 2017 and 2019.Through the collection of 21 strains from diverse countries and regions, Southeast Asia was pinpointed as a significant source for the emergence of V. parahaemolyticus. Phylogenetic analysis revealed clear delineation between strains originating from human and environmental sources, emphasizing that underlying genome data of foodborne pathogens is essential for environmental monitoring, food safety and early diagnosis of diseases. Furthermore, our study identified the presence of virulence genes (tdh and tlh) and approximately 120 antibiotic resistance-related genes in the majority of isolates, highlighting their crucial involvement in the pathogenesis of V. parahaemolyticus. Conclusions This research enhanced our comprehension of the worldwide transmission of V. parahaemolyticus and its antimicrobial resistance patterns. The findings have important implications for public health interventions and antimicrobial stewardship strategies, underscoring the necessity for epidemiological surveillance of pathogen at international travel hubs.

Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar la vigilancia del anarquismo en el espacio atlántico sudamericano, entre finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo siguiente. Si bien la historia de la represión del anarquismo no es desconocida por la historiografía de la región, el trabajo se aleja de los abordajes clásicos, guiados por preguntas sobre su lugar en el movimiento obrero, dentro de las fronteras nacionales. A partir de la trayectoria de dos inmigrantes que circularon entre Buenos Aires, Montevideo y Río de Janeiro se busca mostrar una dinámica red de conexiones atlánticas, que abarcaba los intercambios diplomáticos, la cooperación policial y la vigilancia de los barcos que ingresaban en los puertos. En respuesta a la coyuntura, los anarquistas hicieron un uso estratégico de recursos legales (habeas corpus, peticiones a las autoridades) e ilegales (desembarcos furtivos), que no solo les permitieron sobrevivir a las embestidas represivas, sino también ampliar redes transnacionales de solidaridad libertaria.
