Pandemic Cholera

Quanto tempo até termos cólera aqui no Brasil?

The work by Lessler and colleagues is relevant to many parallel efforts. In support of Sustainable Development Goal 6, mapping of WaSH data will be enhanced by 2030 with more information on water quality and an additional institutional focus on schools and health facilities. Also, through its initiative on so-called precision public health, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation is mapping safe water and sanitation coverage at a fine scale and has mapped child death rates in Africa by 5 km2 blocks. Recently, molecular microbiologists published a global history and geography of the seventh pandemic cholera in Africa, and suggested that extensive intercontinental spread has been accompanied by at least 11 introductions of a single expanded lineage from Asia.13 By combining epidemiological, environmental, and genomic information, maps could be generated that are capable of informing future disease prevention efforts in even more powerful ways than are currently possible.
