BACKGROUND Despite being a cholera-endemic country, data on cholera in the Philippines remain sparse. Knowing the areas where cholera is known to occur and the factors that lead to its occurrence will assist in planning preventive measures and disaster mitigation. METHODS Using sentinel surveillance data, PubMed and ProMED searches covering information from 2008-2013 and event-based surveilla...

Over 160 years later, a more ambitious effort to map cholera has been reported in The Lancet. Forgoing so-called shoe leather epidemiology in favour of big data, Justin Lessler and colleagues used 279 cholera datasets covering 2283 locations in 37 countries, and cluster...
