Quorum‐sensing signaling by chironomid egg masses’ microbiota, affects haemagglutinin/protease (HAP) production by Vibrio choleraeNARA Subscribed
Vibrio cholerae , the causative agent of cholera, is commonly isolated, along with other bacterial species, from chironomid insects ( Diptera: Chironomidae ). Nevertheless, its prevalence in the chironomid egg masses’ microbiota is less than 0.5%. V. cholerae secretes haemagglutinin/protease (HAP) that degrades the gelatinous matrix of chironomid egg masses and prevents hatching. Quorum sensing (QS) activates HAP production in...
Summary Thorns, spines and prickles are among the rich arsenal of antiherbivore defence mechanisms that plants have evolved. Many of these thorns are aposematic, that is, marked by various types of warning coloration. This coloration was recently proposed to deter large herbivores. Yet, the mechanical defence provided by thorns against large herbivores might be only the tip of the iceberg in a much more complicated story. Here...
Adult non‐biting midges: possible windborne carriers of Vibrio cholerae non‐O1 non‐O139NARA Subscribed
Summary Vibrio cholerae is a waterborne bacterium native to the aquatic environment. There are over 200 known serogroups yet only two cause cholera pandemics in humans. Direct contact of human sewage with drinking water, sea‐born currents and marine transportation, represent modes of dissemination of the bacteria and thus the disease. The simultaneous cholera outbreaks that occur sometimes in distant localities within continen...
