About statistics:

This page presents a variety of statistics about Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The term 'prevalence' of Vibrio parahaemolyticus usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Vibrio parahaemolyticus at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Vibrio parahaemolyticus refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Vibrio parahaemolyticus diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
