An unusual two-strain cholera outbreak in Lebanon, 2022-2023: a genomic epidemiology study

2023-11-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Cholera is a bacterial infection caused by the ingestion of contaminated water or food. It principally affects the gastrointestinal system and spreads easily, causing outbreaks. The first case of cholera in this outbreak was detected in Lebanon in October 2022. The outbreak lasted three months, with 8,007 suspected cases (671 laboratory-confirmed) and 23 deaths. We character...
