Article Abstract
Background: Patients with cholera have been shown to be protected against subsequent cholera for 3 years after their initial episode. We aimed to assess protection at 10 years of follow-up.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, cohorts of patients treated for cholera (index patients) and contemporaneously selected age-matched individuals without cholera (controls), randomly selected from the population of Matlab, Bangladesh, were assembled between 1990 and 2009 and followed for up to 10 years. Selection of participants who had no history of cholera in the 5 years before selection proceeded in secular sequence, and selection was done without replacement. Protection against subsequent treated cholera was assessed in proportional hazards models and waning of protection was assessed non-parametrically with use of smoothing of protection curves.
Findings: We included 3925 index patients and 23 550 matched controls. Patients with El Tor cholera (26 subsequent episodes among 3619 index patients) had a 48·6% (95% CI 23·1 to 65·7; p=0·0012) lower risk of El Tor cholera than controls, with no evidence of waning during up to 10 years of follow-up (p=0·87). Index patients aged 5 years and older with El Tor cholera (nine subsequent episodes among 2279 index patients) were at a 61·7% (23·6 to 80·8; p=0·0065) lower risk of El Tor cholera, whereas index patients younger than 5 years with El Tor cholera (17 subsequent episodes among 1340 index patients) had a 36·2% (-5·0 to 61·3; p=0·077) lower risk (p=0·26 for the difference by age).
Interpretation: Protection against El Tor cholera associated with previous El Tor cholera was moderate in magnitude and sustained over 10 years of follow-up. These findings suggest the potential for sustained, long-term protection by oral cholera vaccines in populations with endemic cholera and help inform models of cholera in endemic settings.

the causative agent of cholera, has triggered seven pandemics, with the seventh pandemic emerging in 1961. The success of seventh pandemic El Tor (7PET) as a human pathogen is linked to its acquisition of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) like the CTXΦ prophage and pathogenicity island 1 (VPI-1). Additional MGEs, including VPI-2 and the seventh pandemic islands (VSP-I and VSP-II), are thought to have further enhanced the pathogen's virulence potential.

Cholera remains a significant global health burden. The causative agent responsible for the ongoing cholera pandemic, which began in 1961, is the seventh pandemic El Tor (7PET) lineage of . Over the past century, lineages of have been traced using phage typing schemes, DNA hybridization on microarrays and, more recently, comparative genomics enabled by next-generation sequencing.

Background: In December 2023, a cholera outbreak was detected from Rourkela district, Odisha, prompted an investigation using field epidemiology methods and further research of the isolates from cases. The outbreak, likely was triggered by piped water contamination following unseasonal rainfall.

The El Tor biotype of caused the seventh cholera pandemic (7CP). Although variants of this biotype frequently emerge, studies on their microevolution and spatiotemporal transmission in epidemics caused by a single clone are limited. During the cholera outbreak in Sichuan Province, China, in the 1990s, strains belonging to phage type 6 (PT6) but resistant to typing phage VP5 due to a deletion mutation in , which is the gene associated with the VP5 receptor were identified.
