Cholera has been reported in the state of Odisha, India since more than two decades. The present study was carried out during the year 2000 to 2004 to find out the incidence and molecular analysis of V. cholerae causing diarrhoea among some primitive tribes namely Bondo, Didayi, Juanga and Kondha residing in Odisha, India. Bacteriological analysis of 1066 rectal swabs collected from hospitalized diarrhoea patients in tribal areas revealed 9.8 % were positive for V. cholerae O1 Ogawa and 3.8% for V. cholerae O139 serogroup.

Vibrio choleraehemolysin (HlyA), a water-soluble protein with a native monomeric relative molecular mass of 65 000, forms transmembrane pentameric channels in target bio-membranes.TheHlyAbinds to lipid vesicles nonspecifically and without saturation; however, self-assembly is triggered specifically by cholesterol.Here we show that the HlyA partitioned quantitatively to amphiphilic media irrespective of their compositions, indicating that the toxin had an amphiphilic surface.
