Identifying cholera "hotspots" in Uganda: An analysis of cholera surveillance data from 2011 to 2016

Abstract

The study identified cholera hotspots during the period 2011-2016. The people located near the international borders, internationally shared lakes and river Nile were at higher risk for cholera outbreaks than elsewhere in the country. Targeting cholera interventions to these locations could prevent and ultimately eliminate cholera in Uganda.
