Plesiomonas shigelloids is a rod shaped bacterium which has been isolated freshwater, freshwater fish, shellfish, and a lot of mammals. It does not always cause sickness in its host mammal and can temporarily reside as a transient noninfectious member of the intestinal flora. It is not considered a definite cause of human disease though it is associated with diarrhea.
Its takes about 24 hours for the disease to manifest its self but when it does it give you fever, chills, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting.
It is most commonly found in freshwater such as rivers and lakes.
If the animal lives in freshwater it has a chance to have this disease.
Make sure your water is purified and shellfish is cooked
