Data Needs

Additional data are needed on the co-occurrence

of climatic events associated with cholera such as

storms, hurricanes or unusually strong and prolonged

wet seasons that tend to trigger disease occurrences

or exacerbate conditions for outbreaks. Investigations

are needed to review other diseases that may be more

sensitive to ecological condition, habitat disturbance,

or contamination. Data on these diseases need to

be collected and standardized through a common

reporting mechanism (e.g., PAHO, World Health

SW

SW

Organization).
