Filling the gap: researching CISUR interventions to prevent cholera

In this project we:

• conducted laboratory work to determine the efficacy of surface disinfection and bucket chlorination at removing V. cholerae from surfaces;
• conducted nine field evaluations in humanitarian response on bucket chlorination, household spraying, and household disinfection kit interventions;
• are developing policy on surface disinfection and bucket chlorination to prevent the spread of cholera.

The project provided key information on efficacy, effectiveness, and guidance for the interventions of household disinfection and bucket chlorination.
