Danio rerio as a Native Host Model for Understanding Pathophysiology of Vibrio cholerae.

Vibrio cholerae is an aquatic bacterium that causes the human disease cholera as well as milder forms of diarrhea. V. cholerae is found in the environment in association with a variety of aquatic animals, including vertebrate fish.

Quantifying Vibrio cholerae Enterotoxicity in a Zebrafish Infection Model.

is the etiological agent of cholera, an acute intestinal infection in humans characterized by voluminous watery diarrhea. Cholera is spread through ingestion of contaminated food or water, primarily in developing countries that lack the proper infrastructure for proper water and sewage treatment. is an aquatic bacterium that inhabits coastal and estuarine areas, and it is known to have several environmental reservoirs, including fish.

A metalloprotease secreted by the type II secretion system links Vibrio cholerae with collagen.

Vibrio cholerae is autochthonous to various aquatic niches and is the etiological agent of the life-threatening diarrheal disease cholera. The persistence of V. cholerae in natural habitats is a crucial factor in the epidemiology of cholera.

Zebrafish as a natural host model for Vibrio cholerae colonization and transmission.

The human diarrheal disease cholera is caused by the aquatic bacterium Vibrio cholerae. V. cholerae in the environment is associated with several varieties of aquatic life, including insect egg masses, shellfish, and vertebrate fish.
