Infectious disease spread in connected communities
Ecohydrology and epidemiology share a deep bond in infectious disease modelling. The former focuses on the interaction among species and their water-controlled environment (i.e., the study of water controls on the biota). The latter revolves around specif ...
EPFL2024The microbial genomics of glacier-fed streams: adaptations to an extreme ecosystem
Glacier-fed streams are the cold, ultra-oligotrophic, and unstable streams that are fed by glacial meltwater. Despite these extreme conditions, they harbour a diverse and abundant microbial diversity that develops into biofilms, covering the boulders and s ...
EPFL2024Viral Genetic Determinants of Prolonged Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection Among Infants in a Healthy Term Birth Cohort
Jacques Fellay, Zhi Ming Xu, Dylan Lawless, Thomas Junier
Background. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is associated with acute respiratory infection. We sought to identify RSV variants associated with prolonged infection. Methods. Among healthy term infants we identified those with prolonged RSV infection and c ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC2023The Reef Environment Centralized InFormation System (RECIFS) : An integrated geo‐environmental database for coral reef research and conservation
Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni
Motivation: Host to intricate networks of marine species, coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. Over the past few decades, major degradations of coral reefs have been observed worldwide, which is largely attributed to the ...
2023Sporadic type VI secretion in seventh pandemic Vibrio cholerae
Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann, Nicolas René Chiaruttini, Alexis Joseph Proutière, Loriane Bader, Lisa Christina Metzger, Natalia Carolina Drebes Dorr, Sandrine Natacha Isaac
Vibrio cholerae is a pathogen that causes disease in millions of people every year by colonizing the small intestine and then secreting the potent cholera toxin. How the pathogen overcomes the colonization barrier created by the host’s natural microbiota i ...
2023How Vibrio cholerae adapts to the environment: from cell shape transitions to antagonistic behavior
The bacterium Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, which affects millions of people every year. Apart from being a human pathogen, V. cholerae is also a common member of aquatic habitats. Whilst the mechanism that allow ...
EPFL2022Coral holobiont cues prime Endozoicomonas for a symbiotic lifestyle
Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz, Gabriela Hannah Holligan Perna
Endozoicomonas are prevalent, abundant bacterial associates of marine animals, including corals. Their role in holobiont health and functioning, however, remains poorly understood. To identify potential interactions within the coral holobiont, we character ...
SPRINGERNATURE2022Epidemicity of cholera spread and the fate of infection control measures
Andrea Rinaldo, Cristiano Trevisin, Lorenzo Mari, Damiano Pasetto, Joseph Chadi Benoit Lemaitre, Marino Gatto
The fate of ongoing infectious disease outbreaks is predicted through reproduction numbers, defining the long-term establishment of the infection, and epidemicity indices, tackling the reactivity of the infectious pool to new contagions. Prognostic metrics ...
2022Single nucleotide polymorphism determines constitutive versus inducible type VI secretion in Vibrio cholerae
Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann, Alexis Joseph Proutière, Loriane Bader, Natalia Carolina Drebes Dorr, Milena Jadwiga Jaskolska
Vibrio cholerae is a well-studied human pathogen that is also a common inhabitant of marine habitats. In both environments, the bacterium is subject to interbacterial competition. A molecular nanomachine that is often involved in such competitive behavior ...
