- Additionally, there have been many documented major local cholera outbreaks, such as a 1991–1994 outbreak in South America and, more recently, the 2016–2021 Yemen cholera outbreak.
- Although much is known about the mechanisms behind the spread of cholera, this has not led to a full understanding of what makes cholera outbreaks happen in some places and not others.

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
