Over the past year, cholera outbreaks have occurred in multiple countries including Yemen, Zambia, and Somalia. Tracing back to Indonesia, 1961, the cholera epidemic spread and we have not been able ...
A glass of milk and a slice of bread do not look like medicine. But a new study from UC Riverside suggests that certain ...
Worldwide, bacteria that causes fast-spreading cholera kills anywhere from 21,000 to 143,000 people every year. Now researchers have developed a powerful vaccine that acts rapidly and may confer ...
The workshop brought together public health scientists from 14 countries for an intensive five-day workshop on whole-genome sequencing to strengthen local capabilities and disease surveillance. The ...
The deadly bacterium behind cholera epidemics spends only a fraction of its life infecting humans. Most of the time, Vibrio cholerae lurks in estuaries and other semisalty aquatic habitats.
The pathogen, Vibrio cholerae can colonize the surfaces, as well as the intestines of soft shelled turtles. This finding is strong evidence that soft shelled turtles in China, where they are grown for ...
A protein that helps Vibrio cholerae adapt to temperature has been identified, providing insights into how bacteria change their biology under different conditions Scientists have discovered an ...
It has been 150 years since the epidemiologist John Snow traced the source of an epidemic of cholera to the Broad Street pump in London. Yet, despite Snow's acuity, certain parts of the world are ...
Cholera, a severe bacterial infection that causes diarrhea and kills if untreated, can be defeated with a diet high in protein, according to a new study from UC Riverside. Specifically, the study ...
Researchers find that a type of glycan prevents cholera infection by interfering with the microbe’s gene expression. Mucus lines most of the moist surfaces in our body and has been found to play a ...
The seasonal occurrence of cholera epidemics requires the persistence of Vibrio cholerae in aquatic environments. It has been proposed that V. cholerae persists in aquatic environments throughout the ...
Richard Alan Finkelstein, Ph.D., microbiologist, educator, researcher, and professor emeritus, died at home in Columbia, Missouri on June 8, 2023 at age 93. He was globally respected by the scientific ...
