TL;DR: It is suggested that a single dose of OCV in adults in a cholera endemic zone may be sufficient to mediate at least short-term protection and Protective efficacy that extends for more than a month after vaccination presumably is mediated by direct mucosal immune response.
Augmented immune responses to a booster dose of oral cholera vaccine in Bangladeshi children less than 5 years of age: Revaccination after an interval of over three years of primary vaccination with a single dose of vaccine
Fahima Chowdhury,Taufiqur Rahman Bhuiyan,Afroza Akter,Saruar Bhuiyan,Ashraful Islam Khan,Imam Tauheed,Tasnuva Ahmed,Jannatul Ferdous,Pinki Dash,Salima Raiyan Basher,Al Hakim,Julia Lynch,Jerome H. Kim,Jean-Louis Excler,Deok Ryun Kim,John D. Clemens,Firdausi Qadri +16 more
TL;DR: A single boosting dose of OCV generated immune response in primed population >5 years of age who had earlier received OCV, suggesting protection obtained from different strategies, especially for young children and to determine the numbers of primary and booster doses needed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that patients with cholera develop systemic, mucosal, and memory B-cell immune responses to the sialidase antigen of Vibrio cholerae O1 and that plasma responses targeting this antigen correlate with protection.

A Co-abundant Gene Analysis for Identification of Gut Microbial Strains Associated with Immune Responses to Oral Cholera Vaccine
Fred J. Heller,Hasan Al Banna,M. Hasanul Kaisar,Denise Chac,Fahima Chowdhury,Taufiqur Rahman Bhuiyan,Afroza Akter,Ashraful Islam Khan,Polash Chandra Karmakar,Pinki Dash,Regina C. LaRocque,Edward T. Ryan,Samuel S. Minot,Jason B. Harris,Firdausi Qadri,Ana A. Weil +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used metagenomic sequencing to identify predicted protein-coding genes in the gut microbiota at the time of OCV administration, and then measured immune responses to vaccination.

Plasma and memory B cell responses targeting O-specific polysaccharide (OSP) are associated with protection against Vibrio cholerae O1 infection among household contacts of cholera patients in Bangladesh
Amena Aktar,M. Arifur Rahman,Sadia Afrin,Aklima Akter,Taher Uddin,Tahirah Yasmin,Md. Israk Nur Sami,Pinki Dash,Sultana Rownok Jahan,Fahima Chowdhury,Ashraful Islam Khan,Regina C. LaRocque,Richelle C. Charles,Taufiqur Rahman Bhuiyan,Anjali Mandlik,Meagan Kelly,Pavol Kováč,Peng Xu,Stephen B. Calderwood,Jason B. Harris,Firdausi Qadri,Edward T. Ryan +21 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that immune responses that target OSP, both in plasma and memory responses, may be important in mediating protection against infection with V. cholerae O1.
