A_spatiotemporal_cross_section_of_Vibrio_cholerae_in_Latin_America
Cholera is a diarrhoeal disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which has caused six historical pandemics of disease. Cholera remains a global health concern today, and the seventh cholera pandemic is currently ongoing. In order to understand the ecology and evolution of this bacterium, which is the aetiological agent of a severe and pandemic disease, we have applied whole-genome sequencing to a large collection of V. cholerae isolates from Latin America.  This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/
