2 G. Constantin de Magny What is reported about cholera and macro-scale processes? Cholera outbreaks have been linked to environmental and climate variables precipitation (Hashizume et al. 2008) floods (Koelle et al., 2005) river level (Emch et al., 2008) sea surface temperature (Colwell, 1996; Lobitz et al., 2000) coastal salinity (Miller et al., 1982) dissolved organic material (Worden et al., 2005) fecal contamination (Islam et al., 2006) chlorophyll (Lobitz et al., 2000, Magny et al., 2008) 2

7 Could we have predicted the Haiti Cholera outbreak? Recent cholera outbreak in Haiti indicated the disease remains a global threat. Framework for developing cholera prediction models in cholera endemic (ER) and non-endemic regions (NER) The sharp contrast in mortality rates between ER and NER exists not because we do not know how to treat cholera patients, but because of a persistent knowledge barrier between ER and NER. We propose a pragmatic and adaptive framework which hypothesizes that convergence of three enabling situations - Inception, Environmental Conditions, and Transmission - are necessary for a cholera outbreak to become an epidemic. Antarpreet Jutla, Elizabeth Whitcombe, Nur Hasan, Bradd Haley, Ali Akanda, Anwar Huq, Munir Alam, R. Bradley Sack and Rita Colwell Environmental factors influencing epidemic cholera.

9 Principal component analysis: The three dimensional PCA projection plots based on divergence of average nucleotide identity Haitian Cluster Cloud 10 Haitian strains (red) form a cluster cloud, distinct and yet, distant, from CP genomes (concurrent epidemic isolates form different parts of the world) (blue) and others (green). Interestingly, one reference strain CP 1038 (from Zambia) genome falls into the Haitian cluster. Conclusion: Genomic analysis provided evidence that two distinct Vibrio populations, V. cholerae O1 and V. cholerae non O1/O139, contributed to the cholera epidemic in Haiti. Comprehensive genomic analysis showed: V. cholerae O1 populations were clonal, resembling concurrent epidemic isolates from South Asia and Africa. V. cholerae non O1/O139 populations were not clonal but most probably serve as a reservoir for genomic and pathogenicity islands. V. cholerae non O1/O139 populations in Haiti harbor a genomic backbone similar to that of toxigenic V. cholerae O1 circulating in the Western hemisphere. Genomic analysis of Haitian V. cholerae O1 strains has provided evidence of: a distinct VNTR genotype, genetic polymorphisms of rstb and ctxb, nucleotide (GTA) deletions in rstb, an increased number (five) of ToxR binding repeats, mutations in gyra and parc gene, and a genetically similar set of MGE s shared with isolated elsewhere Core gene and SNP derived phylogenies suggest, and PCA findings reinforce, that quite quickly, i.e., within a three week period early in the cholera epidemic, significant genomic diversity accumulated in the circulating population. 9
