Aquatic ecosystems
- Vibrio cholerae is a facultative pathogen that has an environmental reservoir in aquatic ecosystems and a pathogenic phase in the human small intestine. It produces cholera toxin in the small intestine that results in massive secretory diarrhoea containing billions of vibrios per litre.

Feb 29, 2020 · The review, therefore, serves not only as a study of the identity of the inter-epidemic reservoir of V. cholerae, but also explores different ways in which the reservoir and the pathogen behaviour is affected by the climate, and the possible consequences it may have on disease pattern.

cholerae has been found associated with several sea and riverine dwellers such as algae, shellfish, chironomids and their egg masses, fish, waterfowl, amebae, and crustaceans, most critically copepods. The role of some of these environmental reservoirs of V. cholerae in cholera epidemics remains to be clarified.

Feb 29, 2020 · The environmental reservoir of Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, has been a topic of scientific investigation ever since the discovery of the bacterium itself. While the bacteria can be isolated from both clinical and environmental sources during epidemics, it evades isolation by conventional culture techniques during the period ...

The disease cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae that can be found in environmental reservoirs, living either in free planktonic form or in association with host organisms, non-living particulate matter or in the sediment, and participating in various biogeochemical cycles.

Most of these are well-known or putative environmental reservoirs for the bacterium, defined as places where the pathogen lives over time, with the potential to be released and to cause human infection. Environmental reservoirs also serve as V. cholerae disseminators and vectors.
