UNAM The Global Evolution and 2012 Adaptation of Vibrio cholerae Across Multiple Rob Niche Dimensions Edwards
What would you do with hundreds of genome sequences? ● Cholerae ● Haiti ● Global evolution ● Niche dimensions ● What's important
Cholera is caused by Vibrio cholerae
A world wide pandemic About 3-5 million cases per year About 100 - 200,000 deaths world wide per year Notable deaths: ● Tchaikovsky ● Polk (11th President USA)
Symptoms About 75% of patients have no symptoms 25-50 PINTS of diarrhea per DAY Severe symptoms are by dehydration Treatment Clean water Electrolytes Vaccine Not antibiotics
Multiple Pandemics 1st – 1817 to 1823 Started at the Ganges, spread by colonialists 2nd – 1829 to 1849 Worldwide spread via immigrants 3rd – 1852 to 1859 John Snow first epidemiologist
First epidemiological study John Snow Portrait painted in 1847 when he was 34 years old.

Haitian Outbreak Earthquake Jan 12th, 2010 No cholera in Haiti for > 50 years First case, October 22nd, 2010 By February, 2011 250,000 cases and ~5,000 deaths What was the original source?

Haitian Outbreak Two hypotheses: Endemic, waterborne strain that has been in Haiti but not caused disease for 50 years Imported from another country
The environmental hypothesis "They have been fortunate in Haiti that for 50 years the conditions have been such that they haven’t had an intense increase in cholera bacterial populations. ... But they’ve had an earthquake, they’ve had destruction, they’ve had a hurricane ... I think it’s very unfortunate to look for a scapegoat. It is an environmental phenomenon that is involved” Rita Colwell Johns Hopkins School of Public Health
The human hypothesis “The organism that is causing the disease is very uncharacteristic of (Haiti and the Caribbean), and is quite characteristic of the region from where the soldiers in the base came. ... I don't see there is any way to avoid the conclusion that an unfortunate and presumably accidental introduction of the organism occurred." John Mekalanos Harvard Medical School

Nepalese soldiers? Outbreak in Khatmandu, Nepal before the soldiers left Outbreaks downstream (not upstream) along the river from the nepalese UN camp But that could have come from river trade. Ships used to fly the yellow flag when they were quarantined by cholera
