Document Summary
This article helps to explain the relationship between climate changes to the dynamics of cholera disease outbreaks in order for public health measures to take prospective actions to reduce global pandemics. Examples of cholera outbreaks in south american countries during 1991 to 1992 were due to specific independent environmental, non- toxigenic organisms. These pandemics are influenced by el nino, warming of the pacific. Ocean that contributes to extreme droughts and floods leading to an increase in waterborne bacteria vibrio cholera. This article is interesting as it uses interesting statistics to determine future cholera outbreaks by using remote sensing and computer processing in order to develop models reflecting cholera outbreaks. Technology has enhanced our ability to predict future disease outbreaks while allowing public health measures to enhance its ability to adapt. This article uses epidemiology to predict and study patterns and causes of cholera pandemics.
