Uptake of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> Biotype <i>eltor</i> from Contaminated Water by Water Hyacinth ( <i>Eichornia crassipes</i> )

Abstract

Vibrio cholerae biotype eltor appears to concentrate on the surface of the water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes), thereby enhancing its survival and its potential for transmission through waterways of cholera-endemic regions such as Bangladesh.
