Aug 1, 2018 · Several lines of evidence indicate that the emergence of numerous virulence traits of V. cholerae occurred in its natural environment, due to biotic and abiotic pressures. Here, we discuss the connections between the human host and the potential ecological roles of these virulence traits.
