“…Diarrheagenic organisms, such as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and V. cholerae non-O1, have all been known to produce severe cholera-like diarrhea in adults. [12][13][14] Other non-infectious possibilities include arsenic and antimony poisonings 15 or insecticides. 16 All of these other etiologies seem unlikely, however, since no similar cases were identified during the same period in the previous year.…”

Abstract. After a century of absence, in late January 1991, Vibrio cholerae invaded the Western Hemisphere by way of Peru. Although a number of theories have been proposed, it is still not understood how that invasion took place. We reviewed the clinical records of persons attending hospital emergency departments in the major coastal cities of Peru from September through January of 1989/1990 and 1990/1991. We identified seven adults suffering from severe, watery diarrhea compatible with a clinical diagnosis of cholera during the four months preceding the cholera outbreak, but none during the previous year. The patients were scattered among five coastal cities along a 1,000 km coastline. We postulate that cholera vibrios, autochthonous to the aquatic environment, were present in multiple coastal locations, and resulted from environmental conditions that existed during an El Nino phenomenon. Once introduced into the coastal communities in concentrations large enough for human infection to occur, cholera spread by the well-known means of contaminated water and food.

“…Vibrio cholerae serogroup non-O1 are autochthonous bacteria of aquatic environments (Morris 1990) and right from the 1950s and 1960s has been identified in outbreaks of gastroenteritis in different parts of the world (McIntyre et al 1965, Aldová et al 1968, El-Shawi & Thewaini 1969, Kamal 1971. Currently it is recognized that non-O1 serogroup includes approximately 150 serotypes and play an important role as an aethiological agent of gastrointestinal illness ranging from mild watery diarrhea to febrile enteritis with bloody diarrhea.…”

“…The non-cholera vibrios are organisms biochemically related to Vibrio cholerae, both the classical and el tor biotypes, but which do not agglutinate with 01 antiserum (McIntyre & Feeley, 1965). They have been increasingly reported as a cause of diarrhoeal disease in Asia and elsewhere (McIntyre et al 1965;Chatterjee, Gorbach & Neogy, 1970) and are widely found in water and seafoods (Hobbs, 1975;De et al 1977).…”
