The paper describes the discovery and characterization of a novel Vibrio species, Vibrio tarriae, based on genetic, phylogenetic, and phenotypic analyses of isolates from the United States.

The paper identifies a novel Vibrio cholerae species, Vibrio paracholerae, in aquatic environments with potential human pathogenicity and links it to cholera outbreaks.

This paper introduces a cgMLST scheme for Vibrio cholerae, demonstrating its ability to identify outbreak-related strains and sublineages with higher resolution than existing methods.

This paper develops a multiplex qPCR assay to quantify Vibrio metoecus and V. cholerae subpopulations in environmental samples, revealing seasonal and geographic differences in their abundance.
