Host Defenses
Gastric acid, mucus secretion, and intestinal motility are the prime nonspecific defenses against V cholerae. Breastfeeding in endemic areas is important in protecting infants from disease. Disease results in effective specific immunity, involving primarily secretory immunoglobulin (IgA), as well as IgG antibodies, against vibrios, somatic antigen, outer membrane protein, and/or the enterotoxin and other products.
