TL;DR: Results in this study are consistent with Nepal as the origin of the Haitian outbreak, highlighting how rapidly infectious diseases might be transmitted globally through international travel and how public health officials need advanced molecular tools along with standard epidemiological analyses to quickly determine the sources of outbreaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Price,Bishnu Prasad Upadhyay,Geeta Shakya,Claire M. Fraser,Jacques Ravel,Paul Keim,Paul Keim +18 more
TL;DR: This study provides evidence for a single-source introduction of cholera from Nepal into Haiti followed by rapid, extensive, and continued clonal expansion of V. cholerae across the landscape necessitating real-time surveillance efforts to complement the whole-genome epidemiological analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: All the isolated pandemic influenza A/H1N1 2009 virus found in Nepal were antigenically and genetically related to the novel A/CALIFORNIA/07/2009-LIKE (H 1N1)v type.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Chronological phylogenetic analysis revealed that these Nepalese and Indian viruses possessing the S84N substitution constitute potential ancestors of the novel genetic subclade 6B.1 virus that spread globally in the following (2015/16) influenza season.
