霍乱流行病学

最近的流行病学研究表明个人的易感性霍乱（和其他的痢疾感染）受其血型： O 型血液型那些最易受影响，虽然那些有 AB 型人最能抵抗。两个极端之间是 A 和 B 的血液类型，A 型受到更好的抵抗比 b 型。

约有 100 万霍乱弧菌细菌必须通常可摄取正常健康的成年人，导致霍乱虽然敏感性增加可以看出那些削弱免疫系统、个人与降低的胃酸（作为从抗酸使用），或营养不良的人。

它也被假设囊性纤维化的基因突变，一直在人类由于选择性的优势：杂合性的突变载体（因此不受影响人士的囊性纤维化）是诉霍乱更好的抵抗感染。在此模型中，囊性纤维化跨膜电导调节器通道蛋白遗传缺陷干扰细菌绑定到胃肠道上皮细胞，从而减少感染的影响。
