“…Vibrionaceae have been found in the coastal seawater, marine sediments, and associated with a variety of marine animals [17]. Some species of Vibrionaceae are important human pathogens [4]. The family includes over 150 species in seven genera, with most species classified into the genera Vibrio, Photobacterium and Aliivibrio [4,15,17].…”

“…The genus Vibrio is ubiquitously distributed in marine and freshwater environments (Tiruvayipati & Bhassu, ) and is prevalent high in aquatic organisms (Ceccarelli & Colwell, ). Vibriosis has been particularly devastating disease in the marine environment, affecting many species of fish (Wang & Leung, ).…”

The effect of dietary supplementation of probiotic bacterium Bacillus licheniformis on the histopathological changes in Macrobrachium rosenbergii juveniles (4.0 AE 0.02 g) challenged with known pathogenic strain of Vibrio alginolyticus are reported. Two isocaloric basal diets supplemented with probiotic bacteria B. licheniformis (1.0 9 10 9 cfu/g feed) and other without probiotic supplementation were fed to the M. rosenbergii juveniles for 45 days. The histological observations revealed no significant changes in the hepatopancreas and gut tissues of both the experimental and the control groups which indicate that the present bacterium is a safe candidate probiont for the host. Prawns were challenged with V. alginolyticus after 45 days of feeding with probiotic diet. The histopathological studies of the hepatopancreas revealed that M. rosenbergii fed with probiotic-supplemented diet showed less changes as compared to the prawns fed with control diet on second and fourth day of post-experimental challenge with V. alginolyticus. Histopathological observations revealed that the gills of the prawns fed with control diet were severely affected in comparison to the prawns fed with probiotic-supplemented diet after challenging with V. alginolyticus. Results from this study revealed the improved protection by dietary incorporation of B. licheniformis in reducing the histopathological manifestations due to V. alginolyticus infection in freshwater prawn.

“…The current seventh pandemic (7P) of cholera began in 1961 and is attributed to a V. cholerae O1 biotype El Tor lineage, which is different from the Classical biotype V. cholerae O1 thought to be responsible for previous pandemics. Aside from being a prominent human pathogen, exploratory analyses have demonstrated since the 1970s that V. cholerae is an integral member of many coastal, estuarine, and brackish water ecosystems, as are other Vibrio species, in which it is often associated with copepods and zooplankton (2). Accordingly, a view of V. cholerae epidemiology emerged in the following decades, which posits that locally evolving, but globally distributed, V. cholerae populations are responsible for cholera outbreaks, which occur when climatic or environmental stimuli provide favorable bacterial growth conditions in these environs (3,4).…”

Latin America has experienced two of the largest cholera epidemics in modern history; one in 1991 and the other in 2010. However, confusion still surrounds the relationships between globally circulating pandemic Vibrio cholerae clones and local bacterial populations. We used whole-genome sequencing to characterize cholera across the Americas over a 40-year time span. We found that both epidemics were the result of intercontinental introductions of seventh pandemic El Tor V. cholerae and that at least seven lineages local to the Americas are associated with disease that differs epidemiologically from epidemic cholera. Our results consolidate historical accounts of pandemic cholera with data to show the importance of local lineages, presenting an integrated view of cholera that is important to the design of future disease control strategies.
