Vibrio mimicus contamination of sand increased significantly during the arrival of the olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) at Ostional anidation beach, Costa Rica. Statistical analysis supports that eggs are contaminated with V. mimicus by contact with the sand nest. V. mimicus was isolated from eggs of all nests tested, and ctxA+ strains were found in 31% of the nests, all of which were near the estuary.
在橄榄蠵龟(蠵龟属)抵达哥斯达黎加奥斯蒂奥纳尔筑巢海滩期间,沙滩上的拟态弧菌污染显著增加。统计分析表明,龟卵因与沙质巢穴接触而被拟态弧菌污染。从所有检测巢穴的龟卵中均分离出了拟态弧菌,在31%的巢穴中发现了ctxA+菌株,所有这些巢穴都靠近河口。
