Interactions Between Microbial, Neuronal, and Immune Cells in the Digestive System
… as a vast neuronal network, the enteric nervous system (ENS). In concert with the commensal intestinal microbiota, the enteric immune and nervous systems communicate with one another, and this crosstalk was the focus of my thesis work. The studies as presented here are divided into two parts: The …

Survival of Vibrio vulnificus and Escherichia coli in artificially and naturally infected oyster (Crassostrea virginica) tissues during storage in spray- and immersion-type live holding systems
Live holding systems are used as temporary storage facilities for shellfish. The potential for mishandling of shellfish stored in these systems is high. The objective of the project was to examine the effects of storing oysters in a spray and an immersion systems on the survival of Escherichia coli …
