Abstract: The article discusses the genomic diversity of 2010 cholera epidemic in Haiti. It discusses a study in which the examination of the genomes of Vibrio cholerae, causative agent of cholera isolates from Haitian patients with cholera was done to explore diversity within this species. The analysis of clinical samples from 81 patients suffering from cholera with varying severity is also discussed.
