Post-doctoral researcher at @KEMRI_Wellcome, working on genomics of the malaria parasites

Ending cholera will need stronger water and sanitation systems, better outbreak monitoring, wider vaccine access, and closer links between lab and climate data. This work was made possible with support from @IDeAL_KEMRI_WT and @SSACABProgramme

[Kevin Wamae @KevinKariuki]

Kenya is still battling cholera despite decades of research. In our new preprint (https://t.co/gZuKDoxSXp), we bring together 106 studies published from 1979-2024 to show what is known, where evidence is missing, and how science can help end future outbreaks.

[Kevin Wamae @KevinKariuki]

Cholera remains a major threat: over 12,000 cases and 200 deaths in 2022–2024. Outbreaks continue because many lack safe water and sanitation, tracking is weak, and floods or droughts spark crises. Rapid tests and genetic tracking show spread, but most labs cannot use these tools
