Black-bearded Flying Fox

The Black-bearded Flying Fox (Pteropus melanopogon) is a species in the genus Pteropus. It is currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative, comma-shaped, highly motile aquatic bacterium and the causative agent of pandemic cholera disease in humans. It inhabits coastal estuaries, river deltas, and warm marine environments, often associated with plankton, particularly copepods. This facultatively anaerobic bacterium spreads through contaminated water and food, causing severe watery diarrhea with major public health impact.
