Salinity readings across the affected area during the 2011 sample period ranged from 1.4 to 12.9 ppt (mean = 7.0) and for the 2012 sample period from 14.1 to 23.6 ppt (mean = 19.8). Analyses of the data collected in 2011 showed a reduction in densities of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificuswith a concurrent increase of Vibrio cholerae numbers, with V. cholerae becoming the only Vibriodetected once salinity readings dropped to 6 ppt. Follow-up samples taken in 2012 after recovery of the salinity in the sound showed that the relative densities of the three pathogenic vibrios had reverted back to normal levels. This study shows that although the spillway was open but a few weeks and the effects were therefore time limited, the Mississippi River water had a profound, if temporary, effect on Vibrio ecology in the Mississippi Sound ' display_name: 'Abundance and Distribution of Vibrio cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. vulnificus Following a Major Freshwater Intrusion into the Mississippi Sound' doi: 10.1007/s00248-013-0203-6 files: [] href: http://52.38.26.42:8080/article/10.1007/s00248-013-0203-6.yaml identifier: 10.1007/s00248-013-0203-6 journal_identifier: microbial-ecology journal_pages: 578-583 journal_vol: 65 notes: ~ parents: - display_name: "Chapter 6: Climate Impacts on Water-Related Illnesses (in 'The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment')" reference: /reference/1f3d783b-8f2b-484e-b391-ed42bf98b195 relationship: cito:isCitedBy uri: /report/usgcrp-climate-human-health-assessment-2016/chapter/water-related-illnesses - display_name: 'The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment' reference: /reference/1f3d783b-8f2b-484e-b391-ed42bf98b195 relationship: cito:isCitedBy uri: /report/usgcrp-climate-human-health-assessment-2016 references: [] title: 'Abundance and Distribution of Vibrio cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. vulnificus Following a Major Freshwater Intrusion into the Mississippi Sound' type: article uri: /article/10.1007/s00248-013-0203-6 url: ~ year: 2013
