Risk of Vibrio Transmission Linked to Consumption and Contact with Water in Benin

Background:Vibrio infections have increased in Benin, and this phenomenon is expected to increase due to climate change, increased consumption of contaminated water and the number of people who are immunocompromised. The aim of the work: The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk of Vibri...

Methodology: Water samples [n = 220] were analyzed to isolate Vibrio strains using their biochemical and cultural characteristics.

Results: Among the 220 collected samples, the biochemical tests revealed 86 strains of Vibrio species; Vibrio cholerae [35%], Vibrio parahaemolyticus [18.60%] and Vibrio alginolyticus [13.95%] were identified using molecular tool.

Conclusion: Epidemics can be triggered by natural or fabricated events that contaminate drinking water or compromise access to safe drinking water and sanitation.
