Epidemiology and ecology of Vibrio Cholerae in Africa

This collaborative project between Johns Hopkins University; University of Maryland; University of Florida, Ministry of Health, United Republic of Tanzania, M.A. Sante, Yaoundé, Cameroon, and the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control will describe the molecular epidemiology of cholera in Tanzania and Cameroon to determine the degree to which cholera in these countries originates locally or is introduced from outside and is
transmitted widely.

This study is attempting to characterize the epidemiology in these cholera endemic countries in Africa.

This study attempts to provide a more complete understanding of cholera epidemiology in Africa.
