Putting Rapid Tests to Work in Surveillance and Control of Cholera.

The Global Taskforce for Cholera Control (GTFCC) End Cholera Roadmap encourages countries with endemic and epidemic cholera transmission to identify cholera hotspots in order to prioritize multi-sectoral prevention and control strategies, including oral cholera vaccines and water/sanitation infrastructure [1]. Although cholera is inextricably linked to poverty, including limited access to safe water and sanitation, there is limited predictive value in common metrics related to these for identifying where cholera incidence or mortality risk is high.
