The bacteria enter the body through the mouth, by ingestion of contaminated water and foods, causing an infection in the mucous membranes lining the lumen of the small intestine. Research over the past 30 years clearly shows an association between Vibriocholerae and plankton providing further evidence for the environmental origin of cholera and its complex interaction with the environmentenVibriocholeraeStockholm world water week, 13-17 August 2007Mozambican channelVibriocholerial ecologyConference PresentationDu Preez, M.
