🦠 Scientists from our Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology show that cholera bacteria can exchange protective genes, including antiviral immune systems, when they live in aquatic environments. The finding helps explain how these pathogens survive viral attacks and evolve in marine habitats.

How cholera bacteria swap defenses against viruses

EPFL researchers show that cholera bacteria can exchange protective genes, including antiviral immune systems, when they live in aquatic environments. The finding helps explain how these pathogens survive viral attacks and evolve in marine habitats.

As we end March 2026 and go into April... Memories of Covid19 lockdown... And I'm immersed in 1858 London "The Great Stink" when I realise some of my ancestors died during this year, living in Soho in the heart of London and the bad water - still thought by many that bad air was the problem.
This is one of the lasting memories of my history 'o' level all those years ago. Apparently the water pump has been marked in a nearby street.

Dr John Snow discovered the source of the 1854 cholera epidemic in London. He disabled this pump and ended the outbreak, and is now a hero of public health. All this and more on the Toilets of the World.

The #clinicalTrial I've been participating in for a revolutionary new #cholera #vaccine has been published in #TheLancet, and the results are excellent.

I'm one of the data points in this article. 😉
The immunity from the new vaccine is so long-lasting that they're extending the study: they asked me to come back again in six months so they can test again to see if I still have immunity.
It's astonishing how many lives this vaccine will save.

Luchtaanvallen, cholera en 33 bevallingen per dag: Fleur (29) werkte als arts in Soedan

Een meisje van 16, ongewenst zwanger na een verkrachting. "Ze was ontzettend ziek geworden en uiteindelijk heeft ze het niet gehaald." Het is één van patiënten die arts Fleur Smit niet snel zal vergeten. Ze werkte het afgelopen jaar vier maanden voor Artsen zonder Grenzen in een ziekenhuis in Nyala, in de Soedanese regio Zuid-Darfur. Volgens de VN heerst er de grootste humanitaire crisis ter wereld. "Ik was daar als arts, ik hield me niet bezig met de veiligheidssituatie, dat was gewoon niet mijn taak."
