CSIR South Africa – Science to curb cholera epidemic in Mozambique
CSIR researchers are investigating the potential role that various sea conditions play in cholera outbreaks. The CSIR project is focused solely on scientific research into the environmental conditions of the disease and not on the social conditions promoting outbreaks.
The multi-disciplinary team is investigating the ecology of the bacteria to determine whether there are linkages between cholera outbreaks in the area and various land and sea conditions. The research team comprises earth observation experts, mathematical and statistical modellers, micro-biologists and oceanographers.
