Intervention(s):

Each group will compound by 60 subjects Group 1 (experimental): First intervention: All subjects will receive a 50 ml oral dose of CV638 with a concentration of 5,00E+08-5,00E+09 CFU of the attenuated live V. cholerae O1 El Tor Ogawa strain 638. Second intervention: Fifteen (15) days after the first intervention, 20 subjects will receive 50 ml oral suspension containing one dose virulent strain 3008 V. cholerae O1 El Tor Ogawa, with a concentration of 1– 9,00E+06 CFU. Ninety (90) days after the first intervention other 20 subjects will receive 50 ml of an oral suspension containing one dose V. cholerae O1 El Tor Ogawa virulent strain 3008, with a concentration of 1 – 9,00E+06 CFU. The 20 subjects remaining will not receive the second intervention. Group 2 (control): First intervention: All subjects will receive a 50 ml oral dose of Placebo. Second intervention: Fifteen (15) days after the first intervention 20 subjects will receive 50 ml of an oral suspension containing one dose virulent strain 3008 V. cholerae O1 El Tor Ogawa, with a concentration of 1– 9,00E+06 CFU. Ninety (90) days after the first intervention other 20 subjects will receive 50 ml of an oral suspension containing one dose V. cholerae O1 El Tor Ogawa virulent strain 3008, with a concentration of 1 – 9,00E+06 CFU. The 20 subjects remaining will not receive the second intervention.
