Assessments of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus levels and microbial community compositions in blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) and seawater harvested from the Maryland Coastal Bays
Summary
Researchers assessed Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus levels in blue crabs and seawater from the Maryland Coastal Bays, providing insight into microbial community diversity. The study contributes to risk assessment frameworks that are essential for advancing public health understanding of these pathogenic bacteria in coastal environments.
Results from this study provide further insight into species diversity and phylogenetic compositions of blue crabs and seawater from the MCBs. These approaches will help in risk assessments that are essential in the overall advancement of public health.

Insights into the Gut Microbiota of the Freshwater Crab Sinopotamon planum across Three Seasons and Its Associations with the Surrounding Aquatic Microbiota
Researchers characterized the gut microbiota of freshwater crab Sinopotamon planum across three seasons, finding seasonal shifts in microbial community composition that correlated with changes in surrounding aquatic microbiota and environmental conditions.
Latitudinal Dynamics of Vibrio along the Eastern Coastline of Australia
Researchers mapped Vibrio bacterial abundance and diversity along 4000 km of Australia's eastern coastline using amplicon sequencing and quantitative PCR, finding that sea surface temperature was the strongest predictor of Vibrio community composition and pathogen abundance. Warmer northern waters harbored higher concentrations of pathogenic Vibrio species including V. cholerae and V. vulnificus.
