Draft Genome Sequences of 13 Vibrio cholerae Strains from the Rio Grande Delta.

Vibrio cholerae is the etiologic agent of cholera, an acute and often fatal diarrheal disease that affects millions globally. We report the draft genome sequences of 13 non-O1/O139 V. cholerae strains isolated from the Rio Grande Delta in Texas.

Incidence, Severity, and Characterization of Phytophthora Foot Rot of Citrus in Texas and Implications for Disease Management.

-induced foot rot, also known as gummosis, is an important disease affecting citrus production worldwide. In Texas, the third-largest citrus-producing state in the United States, limited information is available on the etiology and epidemiology of foot rot in commercial orchards. This study comprises a survey of foot rot incidence and severity in Texas and the characterization of isolates associated with the disease.
