This project will evaluate the advantages, feasibility, and limitations of cholera rapid tests when used for cholera surveillance in Nepal.
Cholera rapid diagnostic tests may be a suitable new tool to improve cholera surveillance, but the benefits and limitations need to be evaluated when they are used in practical surveillance programs
The study will inform how the rapid tests can best be used for cholera surveillance
