Microplastics as Potential Drivers of Cholera Persistence and Outbreaks: A Mini Review

2025-10-06

Abstract excerpt

Cholera continues to impose a heavy disease burden in regions with limited sanitation, where Vibrio cholerae survives in aquatic systems shaped by climatic and ecological drivers. Recent research suggests that microplastics (MPs), once regarded as inert pollutants, may actively influence the persistence and virulence of this pathogen. This mini-review puts together information that points to MPs as potential drive...
