          Abstract

          In an experimental microcosm, an analysis was performed of the influence exerted by freshwater Mesocyclops longisetus copepods on the survival of Vibrio cholerae O1 serovar Inaba. In the State of Ceará, copepods are used in the control of Aedes aegypti larvae. The system consisted of water with a salinity of 0.27‰ and pH 7.5, which after sterilizing filtration was distributed into seven flasks with a volume of 400 ml; in each of six flasks, 10 live copepods were inoculated along with 1 ml of an 8-hour culture of Vibrio cholerae O1 at 37ºC in Alkaline Peptone Water, resulting in a concentration of 3.80x10(4) colony-forming units. The control flask contained only the water with the same bacterial suspension. The system was maintained for six days at room temperature (25-28ºC), and daily duplicate counts were performed in TCBS Agar. Results confirmed a clear association between Vibrio cholerae O1 and the live copepods, based on survival of the bacteria at compatible levels with the initial inoculation until the sixth day of the analysis.

          Foi analisada num microcosmo experimental a influência exercida por copépodes de água doce da espécie Mesocyclops longisetus na sobrevivência de V. cholerae O1 sorovar Inaba. Os copépodes são utilizados no controle de larvas de Aedes aegypti no Estado do Ceará. O sistema estava constituído de água com salinidade de 0,27‰ e pH 7,5, que após filtração esterilizante foi distribuída em sete frascos em volumes de 400 ml, sendo que em cada um dos seis frascos foram inoculados dez copépodes vivos e 1 ml de uma cultura de oito horas a 37ºC em água peptonada alcalina (pH 8,5) de V. cholerae O1, resultando uma concentração de 3,80x10(4) unidades formadoras de colônias. O controle continha apenas a água com a mesma suspensão bacteriana. O sistema foi mantido durante seis dias à temperatura ambiente (25 28ºC) e, diariamente, foram realizadas as contagens em duplicata em Ágar TCBS. Os resultados evidenciaram uma nítida associação de V. cholerae com os copépodes vivos, através da sobrevivência bacteriana em níveis compatíveis com o inóculo inicial até o sexto dia da análise.

          Attachment of Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 to zooplankton and phytoplankton of Bangladesh waters.

          Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1, the causative agent of cholera, is capable of surviving in aquatic environments for extended periods and is considered an autochthonous species in estuarine and brackish waters. These environments contain numerous elements that may affect its ecology. The studies reported here examined physical interactions between V. cholerae O1 and natural plankton populations of a geographical region in Bangladesh where cholera is an endemic disease. Results showed that four of five clinical V. cholerae O1 strains and endogenous bacterial flora were attached preferentially to zooplankton molts (exuviae) rather than to whole specimens. One strain attached in approximately equal numbers to both exuviae and whole specimens. V. cholerae O1 also attached to several phytoplankton species. The results show that V. cholerae O1 can bind to diverse plankton species collected from an area where cholera is an endemic disease, with potentially significant effects on its ecology.
