Les conditions météorologiques extrêmes telles que la sécheresse et les inondations contribuent aux flambées de choléra en Afrique.
Severe weather such as drought and floods is contributing to cholera outbreaks in Africa.
Cholera has persisted longer in Africa largely due to worsening hygiene and sanitation situations in urban areas.
Cholera is caused by a lack of access to clean drinking water and unhygienic conditions. Misuse of antibiotics makes it difficult and expensive to treat outbreaks.
A lack of decent sanitation and clean drinking water are fertile ground for a cholera outbreak.
A global trend to regulate frequent antibiotic use in livestock and poultry production is emerging but Africa is still lagging behind.
