Notes

Most cases are from Mankhokwe refugee camp in Nsanje district in Malawi while few cases are from the neighboring villages. However, the source document did not specify the specific village names. Thus, Nsanje was used as the location name for the total cases. The lab method to confirm cases was not specified in the source doc. Although in the source document, it said that vibrio was sensitive to all antibiotics, it did not specify the antibiotics. Available publicly from MSF science portal.
