Gut Colonization of Zebrafish Larvae Induces a Dampened Sensorimotor Response.

Cholera is a diarrheal disease prevalent in populations without access to clean water. Cholera is caused by which colonizes the upper small intestine in humans once ingested. A growing number of studies suggest that the gut microbiome composition modulates animal behavior.

Advances in cholera research: from molecular biology to public health initiatives.

The aquatic bacterium is the etiological agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, which has plagued the world for centuries. This pathogen has been the subject of studies in a vast array of fields, from molecular biology to animal models for virulence activity to epidemiological disease transmission modeling. genetics and the activity of virulence genes determine the pathogenic potential of different strains, as well as provide a model for genomic evolution in the natural environment.
