从1997年10月至2000年6月，对秘鲁沿岸沿着海水和浮游生物中霍乱弧菌的发生和分布进行了研究，其中包括1997-98年厄尔尼诺事件。每月在秘鲁沿海沃茨的四个地点采集样本。在178份样品中，10份（5.6%）培养出O 1型霍乱弧菌，159份样品中，26份（16.4%）用直接荧光抗体法检测出O 1型霍乱弧菌。根据秘鲁1997 - 2000年报告的霍乱病例数，观察到霍乱发病率与秘鲁沿海海表温度（SST）升高之间存在显著相关性（P < 0.001）。根据本研究结果，可以得出结论，沿海海水和浮游动物是秘鲁霍乱弧菌的水库。1997-98厄尔尼诺年观察到的气候与霍乱的关系表明，可以为秘鲁和邻近的拉丁美洲国家建立一个霍乱风险预警系统。
The occurrence and distribution of Vibrio cholerae in sea water and plankton along the coast of Peru were studied from October 1997 to June 2000, and included the 1997-98 El Nino event. Samples were collected at four sites in coastal waters off Peru at monthly intervals. Of 178 samples collected and tested, V. cholerae O1 was cultured from 10 (5.6%) samples, and V. cholerae O1 was detected by direct fluorescent antibody assay in 26 out of 159 samples tested (16.4%). Based on the number of cholera cases reported in Peru from 1997 to 2000, a significant correlation was observed between cholera incidence and elevated sea surface temperature (SST) along the coast of Peru (P < 0.001). From the results of this study, coastal sea water and zooplankton are concluded to be a reservoir for V. cholerae in Peru. The climate-cholera relationship observed for the 1997-98 El Nino year suggests that an early warning system for cholera risk can be established for Peru and neighbouring Latin American countries.
