Pathways of Exposure to<i>Vibrio Cholerae</i>in an Urban Informal Settlement in Nairobi, Kenya

2024-01-17

Abstract excerpt

Cholera is a diarrhoeal disease caused by the toxigenic Vibrio cholerae ( V. cholerae ) bacterium. V. cholerae can contaminate drinking water sources and food through poor sanitation and hygiene, especially in informal settlements and refugee camps where cholera outbreaks have been reported in Kenya. This study aimed to identify environmental transmission routes of V. cholerae within Mukuru informal settlement in...
