title: Cholera vaccines.
abstract: The currently licensed parenteral cholera vaccine has not been a useful public health tool in the control of cholera. Building on the knowledge that primary infection offers significant protection against reinfection and that mucosal immunity mediates this protection, several oral cholera vaccines have been developed. These vaccine candidates or future candidates derived using the techniques of molecular biology will no doubt contribute to the control of cholera.
