Ryan Carnegie, Corinne Audemard, Kimberly Reece of Virginia Institute of Marine Science as well as VIMS master’s student Lydia Bienlien will research the relationship between the bacteria V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus and the dominant oyster pathogen of the East and Gulf Coasts, P. marinus. This research should provide a better perspective on how to minimize Vibrio spp. levels.
