Vibrio is a ubiquitous bacterial species in a variety of aquatic and marine habitats. More than one hundred vibrio spp. exist, and about 12 of these cause infections in humans. One of them is vibrio cholerae. This virus, which is rapidly fatal if left untreated, is a serious diarrheal disease that is usually transmitted through contaminated water and person-to-person contact. This disease is popularly known as cholera.

The other vibrio species that causes infections in humans is vibrio parahaemolyticus. Infections are normally caused by exposure to seawater or the consumption of raw or undercooked contaminated seafood.
Non-cholera bacteria cause a variety of clinical manifestations, usually mild, self-limited gastroenteritis. Vibrio spp. Treatment depends largely on the pathogen causing the infection. For example, rehydration therapy is used for vibrio cholerae infection and antibiotic therapy for severe cholera and systemic infections.
Effective cholera vaccines are available to prevent cholera. However, outbreaks can be triggered by natural or man-made events that contaminate drinking water or compromise access to safe water and sanitation. The frequency of vibriosis is increasing due to the spread of vibrio species as a result of factors such as climate change and rising sea water temperatures.
