investigation of cholera acquired from the riverine environment in queensland.since february 1977, five patients with cholera apparently acquired the infection from the riverine environment in queensland. a total of 13 rivers have now yielded at least one isolate of vibrio cholerae 01 biovar el tor. investigations indicate that the organism, including toxigenic strains, can survive and multiply in the riverine environment. no human or animal reservoirs and no ecological niches were identified and no route of importation or dissemination of the organism was discovered. the ...19863587092
detection of heat-stable enterotoxin genes among australian vibrio cholerae o1 strains.dna probes derived from the heat-stable enterotoxin gene of vibrio cholerae non-o1 (stn), and the cholera toxin gene (ctx), were used to screen 199 strains of v. cholerae o1, which were isolated within australia from 1977-1986. 13 environmental strains isolated from the riverine environment in southeast queensland in 1980 and 1981, hybridized with the stn and ctx dna probes. the concentrated supernatant of 6 of these strains elicited fluid accumulation in the infant mouse assay both before and a ...19957737472
