Vibrio2017: the seventh international conference on the biology of Vibrios.

Vibrio2017: The ASM Conference on the Biology of Vibrios, was held in November 2017. The conference focused on all aspects of biology related to the bacterial genus Vibrio. The meeting highlighted that the Vibrios have a tremendous impact on humans, both directly by Vibrio-related diseases, as well as indirectly through their interactions with other animal species, e.g. fish and shellfish, and with our environment, including influencing the health of our coastal waters and coral reefs.
