Africa in the Time of Cholera

Abstract: This book combines evidence from natural and social sciences to examine the impact on Africa of seven cholera pandemics since 1817, particularly the current impact of cholera on such major countries as Senegal, Angola, Mozambique, Congo, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Myron Echenberg highlights the irony that this once-terrible scourge, having receded from most of the globe, now kills thousands of Africans annually - Africa now accounts for more than 90 percent of the world's cases and deaths - and leaves many mor… Show more

“…The synthesis of blood group AB enables the strongest contact with a pathogen and molecularly precludes any isoagglutinin activity, making this group the least protected and the smallest among the ABO(H) blood groups. In contrast, individuals with blood group O(H), which are prone to other infections, especially cholera, have survived all infectious diseases in an immunological balance with many pathogens and remain the largest blood group worldwide despite extensive historical cholera pandemics (Echenberg, 2011;Mutreja et al, 2011;Chowdhury et al, 2017). These individuals rarely develop severe diseases classified as blood group Armijos-Jaramillo, V., Yeager, J., Muslin, C., et al, 2020.…”

“…Вторая волна холеры началась в 1893 -1896 гг. и была более масштабной, захватив Ливию, Тунис, Алжир, Марокко, Судан, Египет и французскую часть Западной Африки, ныне вклю чающей Кот-д'Ивуар, Буркина-Фасо, Гвинею, Нигер, Мавританию, Бенин, Сенегал, Мали [13]. Шестая пандемия холеры на Африканском континенте затронула лишь Египет, унеся в 1902 г. более 34 тыс.…”
