Environmental Predictors of Pathogenic Vibrios in South Florida Coastal Waters

Abstract: Abstract:In 2007, diseases caused by Vibrio vulnificus and other Vibrio species became nationally notifiable in the United States because of the potential severity of bloodstream infections. Direct contact of open wound with seawater and the ingestion of contaminated oysters are the principal modes of transmission. Presently, no clear environmental predictors of oyster contamination are known. This study is the first to report an apparent association between rainfall and Vibrio counts at five South Florida bea… Show more

“…The number of isolates of Vibrio especially V. cholerae non O1 non O139 and V. parahaemolyticus in the study site particularly in Anza and Essaouira decreased with rainfall. The result of this study is in contrast to the results of Yamazaki and Esiobu ( 2012 ) who found a correlation between the rainfall dates and the incidence of pathogenic Vibrio species.…”

“…The distribution of the temperature and salinity values in narrow and discrete T/S classes helps also to understand how important other environmental factors can be: e.g., the species diversity coincident to the C2 was mostly contributed by the November sampling in Alberobello, demonstrating that different parameters, such as the detrital particulate organic matter (Turner et al 2009), rainfall (Yamazaki and Esiobu 2012), and/ or both the amount and kind of plankton (Eiler et al 2007;Turner et al 2014) had to have exerted their influence within the ponds and/or seasons.…”
