	Abstract

In this study, we determined the borders of the pathogenicity island in V. parahaemolyticus RIMD2210633 (Vp-PAI). Vp-PAI has features in common with Tn7 and other related elements at both terminal ends. Our findings indicate the possibility that the mobile element which contains the DDE motif was involved in Vp-PAI formation.
