• While the whole world is keeping a close attention toward the 2019 SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and resulting disruptions, it is prudent to revisit the larger ongoing pandemic caused by cholera. The world is currently in the 7th cholera pandemic that started in 1961 after the emergence of El Tor biotype of Vibrio cholerae O1 replacing the classical biotype that was responsible for the first 6 pandemics between 1817 and 1923.[2] Despite all the developments in the medical science and technology, cholera continues to be a significant health problem in the endemic areas across the globe.
