Delfín tonina

La especie de delfín más estudiada y reconocida, los delfines mulares habitan océanos cálidos y templados de todo el mundo, desde las aguas costeras poco profundas hasta el mar abierto. Altamente inteligentes con grandes cerebros en relación con el tamaño corporal, demuestran autoreconocimiento, comunicación compleja y aprendizaje social. Viven en sociedades fluidas de fisión-fusión y cooperan para arrear peces. Una especie indicadora clave de la salud del ecosistema marino.

Vibrio cholerae es una bacteria acuática gram-negativa, con forma de coma y altamente móvil, agente causal de la pandemia de cólera en humanos. Habita estuarios costeros, deltas fluviales y entornos marinos cálidos, frecuentemente asociada al plancton, especialmente copépodos. Esta bacteria facultativamente anaerobia se propaga a través de agua y alimentos contaminados, causando diarrea acuosa severa con gran impacto en salud pública.
