Abstract

The article discusses research on the possible origins of the 2022 resurgence of cholera in Haiti. Topics explored include the genomic and phenotypic analysis of a Vibrio cholerae strain isolated from a stool sample obtained from a cholera patient, the similarity observed in the phenotypes of the 2010 and 2022 bacteria strains, and the factors which may have contributed to the 2022 outbreak such as waning population immunity and poor sanitation.
