This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only in recent years has it been revealed that V. cholerae is a normal inhabitant of esturine and riverine waters. This means that even if the disease can be eliminated from human population by vaccines etc. the vibrio will continue to survive independently in the environment. It is likely that the environment is the source of epidemic strains. This is the first book to focus on the implication of these discoveries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phylogenomic structuring of the Vibrio cholerae clade is an important area of study in the context of the alarming spike of human morbidities due to environmental pathogens around the world. Even after decades of research, the structuring of natural populations of V. cholerae and its sister species is poorly understood. Ecological and epidemiological importance of the clade shouts for a sound understanding of the phylogenetic relationships and environmental dynamics within the clade in their natural settings. In this thesis, my goal is to answer few broad questions on the biology of the V. cholerae clade: i) How different is the evolutionary trajectory of pathogenic lineages from environmental populations ii) To what extent environmental and biogeographic factors impact the intra-species diversity of the model species: V. cholerae iii) Is our understanding of the phylogeny and ecology of the V. cholerae clade consistent with the inclusion of the recently discovered sister species of V. cholerae from both environmental and clinical settings. To address these questions, I have employed culture-based techniques, phenotypic characterization, high throughput amplicon sequencing, whole genome sequencing, quantitative PCR (qPCR) as well as phylogenetic and taxonomic inference tools. I have found potential signatures in V. cholerae population structure in cholera endemic and non-endemic regions. I have also shown the impact of environmental factors on the intra-species diversity of V. cholerae population naturally occurring in a cholera endemic area. Furthermore, I am describing here the genetic, phylogenetic and biological traits, as well as interaction of a novel sister species with V. cholerae: V. paracholerae sp. nov. Moreover, I delineate the phylogenetic and molecular spectrum of a novel sister species of V. cholerae: V. tarriae, isolated from human and environmental samples only from cholera free locations in the USA. The studies presented herein consolidates the understanding of the natural diversity and ecology of the clade containing V. cholerae and its close relatives at species and sub-species level, which could be a significant stride in our knowledge on this group of microorganisms.
Book Synopsis Epidemiological and Molecular Aspects on Cholera by : T. Ramamurthy

This book was released on 2010-11-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though cholera is an ancient disease, its perennial occurrence in several parts of the world has attracted many researches to find ways and means to combat the disease. The prevailing seventh pandemic cholera is dominating since 1961, but the dimension of the disease has taken several silhouettes, as the genetic structure and functions of the Vibrio cholerae has changed to a great extent. Several recent studies have shown that transformation of the pathogen at the molecular level has ameliorated several cholera outbreaks and epidemics of with successive new clones of V. cholerae. This comprehensive compilation, written by eminent international researchers reviews the epidemiology of cholera in Africa, Asia, Russia and Latin Americas. The other chapters contributed by acclaimed authors cover various aspects on evolution, polysaccaharide biosynthesis, SXT element, integrons, small molecule signalling systems, flagellar synthesis, filamentous phages, pathogenic role of proteases and hemolysin, and other putative virulence factors.

Book Synopsis Vibrio ecology, pathogenesis and evolution by : Rita R Colwell
Download or read book Vibrio ecology, pathogenesis and evolution written by Rita R Colwell and published by Frontiers E-books. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vibrios are Gram-negative bacilli that occur naturally in marine, estuarine, and freshwater systems. Some species include human and animal pathogens capable of causing gastroenteritis, wound infections, cholera, and fatal septicemia. Over the past decades, cutting edge research on Vibrio genomics has promoted a tremendous advance in our knowledge of these pathogens. Significant developments include the discovery of emerging epidemic clones, tracking the spread of new strain variants, and an intensified appreciation of the role of mobile genetic elements in antibiotic resistance spread as well as pathogenesis. Furthermore, improved understanding of the interaction of Vibrios with a variety of living organisms in the aquatic environment has documented the significant role of environmental reservoirs in their seasonal cycle favoring persistence of the pathogen during inter-epidemic periods and enhancing disease transmission. This Research Topic is dedicated to our current understanding in these areas and will bring together leading experts in the field to provide a deep overview of Vibrios ecology and evolution, and will suggest the pathway of future research in this field.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States-Japan Cooperative Medical Science Program was initiated in 1965 by joint agreement between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Japan. The purpose of the Program was to promote cooperative biomedical research between the two countries, especially on health problems of recognized impor tance in Asia. Cholera was designated as one topic of mutual interest. Panels of scientists from each country were formed, and these met to select priority areas for research. The Cholera Panels initially defined two major goals: 1) improved and simplified therapy for cholera, and 2) better methods for immunization. Progress in the pursuit of these goals led to the recognition that bacteria other than Vibrio cholerae are also important causes of acute dehydrating diarrhea which resembles cholera in its manifestations and patho genesis; most notable among these are enterotoxinogenic strains of Escherichia coli. Accordingly, panel guidelines were expanded to include all diarrheal diseases that involve fluid loss caused by an enterotoxin. More recently, studies have shown that vibrios, including V. cholerae, have a distinct environmental life cycle that is probably an impor tant factor in the epidemiology of vibrio infections. For this reason, the panel guidelines were again expanded to include studies on the environmental ecology of vibrios. A major project of the Joint Cholera Panels has been the organization and spon sorship of an annual conference on cholera and related diarrheal diseases.
Book Synopsis Cholera Outbreaks by : G. Balakrish Nair
Download or read book Cholera Outbreaks written by G. Balakrish Nair and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most feared attribute of the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae is its ability to cause outbreaks that spread like wildfire, completely overwhelming public health systems and causing widespread suffering and death. This volume starts with a description of the contrasting patterns of outbreaks caused by the classical and El Tor biotypes of V. cholerae. Subsequent chapters examine cholera outbreaks in detail, including possible sources of infection and molecular epidemiology on three different continents, the emergence of new clones through the bactericidal selection process of lytic cholera phages, the circulation and transmission of clones of the pathogen during outbreaks and novel approaches to modeling cholera outbreaks. A further contribution deals with the application of the genomic sciences to trace the spread of cholera epidemics and how this information can be used to control cholera outbreaks. The book closes with an analysis of the potential use of killed oral cholera vaccines to stop the spread of cholera outbreaks.
