Climate Change and Cholera: Seasonal Patterns and Global Impact

Explore the impact of climate change on cholera outbreaks in this 45-minute AGU Fall Meeting 2014 press conference. Delve into research findings presented by Jordan Mccall and Dr. Michael Smith, examining their hypothesis on the relationship between water abundance, seasonal cycles, and cholera prevalence. Investigate case studies from Mozambique, South Sudan, and Haiti, analyzing river discharge seasonalities and their correlation with endemic cholera. Learn about lead time predictions and simulation results, including a synthetic run model. Gain insights into the broader implications for Latin America and other regions affected by this waterborne disease in the context of a changing climate.
