Following its explosive appearance in Peru, travelers on the Amazon River brought cholera to Brazil by April 1991. It spread southward along the Atlantic Coast of Brazil, reaching Rio de Janeiro in February 1993.
Phage typing is a useful tool for studying the source or origin of V. cholerae for epidemiologic importance. Because of limitations of the Basu and Mukerjee scheme, a new phage-typing scheme for V. cholerae O1 was developed at the National ...
