Abstract

Source of current cholera epidemic Cholera has affected human populations for centuries, and the agent responsible, Vibrio cholerae, continues to infect millions each year. Using whole genome phylogeny, it is now shown that the current seventh epidemic originated in the Bay of Bengal in the 1950s and has spread through the world in three independent waves.
