Regional sequencing collaboration reveals persistence of the T12 Vibrio cholerae O1 lineage in West Africa

Background: Despite recent insights into cholera transmission patterns in Africa, regional and local dynamics in West Africa—where cholera outbreaks occur every few years—are still poorly understood. Coordinated genomic surveillance of Vibrio cholerae in the areas most affected may reveal transmissi...
