| household fish preparation hygiene and cholera transmission in monrovia, liberia. | in the 1980s vibrio cholerae was found to be an autochthonous resident of aquatic environments. as result, ingestion of undercooked, contaminated fish has been associated with cholera transmission. an alternative mechanism of transmission associated with fish was hypothesised by schürmann et al. in 2002. he described a cholera case that was more likely to have been infected by contamination on the patient's hands rather than by ingestion of contaminated fish. | 2009 | 19858575 |
