Genomic diversity of 2010 Haitian cholera outbreak strains.
The millions of deaths from cholera during the past 200 y, coupled with the morbidity and mortality of cholera in Haiti since October 2010, are grim reminders that Vibrio cholerae, the etiologic agent of cholera, remains a scourge. We report the isolation of both V. cholerae O1 and non-O1/O139 early in the Haiti cholera epidemic from samples collected from victims in 18 towns across eight Arron...
متن کاملSocial and news media enable estimation of epidemiological patterns early in the 2010 Haitian cholera outbreak.
During infectious disease outbreaks, data collected through health institutions and official reporting structures may not be available for weeks, hindering early epidemiologic assessment. By contrast, data from informal media are typically available in near real-time and could provide earlier estimates of epidemic dynamics. We assessed correlation of volume of cholera-related HealthMap news med...
متن کاملSouth Asia Instead of Nepal May Be the Origin of the Haitian Cholera Outbreak Strains
I read with interest the article “Population Genetics of Vibrio cholerae from Nepal in 2010: Evidence on the Origin of the Haitian Outbreak” by Hendriksen et al. (1), which was published in the July-August 2011 issue of mBio. They used whole-genome sequence typing of Nepalese strains which were isolated in 2010 from different parts of the country and found that the Nepalese strains were almost ...
متن کاملThe Origin of the Haitian Cholera Outbreak Strain
BACKGROUND—Although cholera has been present in Latin America since 1991, it had not been epidemic in Haiti for at least 100 years. Recently, however, there has been a severe outbreak of cholera in Haiti. METHODS—We used third-generation single-molecule real-time DNA sequencing to determine the genome sequences of 2 clinical Vibrio cholerae isolates from the current outbreak in Haiti, 1 strain ...
متن کاملMolecular Subtyping in Cholera Outbreak, Laos, 2010
A cholera outbreak in Laos in July 2010 involved 237 cases, including 4 deaths. Molecular subtyping indicated relatedness between the Vibrio cholerae isolates in this and in a 2007 outbreak, uncovering a clonal group of V. cholerae circulating in the Mekong basin. Our finding suggests the subtyping methods will affect this relatedness.
