Jun 7, 2021 · The significance of large tropical lakes as environmental reservoirs of Vibrio cholerae in cholera endemic countries has yet to be established. By combining large scale plankton sampling, microbial culture and ultrasensitive molecular methods, namely Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) and targeted genomics ….
From this description we can contend that algae, arthropods, waterfowl, and protozoa act as reservoirs of V. cholerae, as the bacterium has been found associated with them but, so far, there is no evidence of cholera cases directly associated with these reservoirs.
