30个单核苷酸多态性被用来追踪由霍乱弧菌引起的第七次大流行的传播。来自1991年拉丁美洲流行的分离株与20世纪70年代来自非洲的分离株具有共同特征，表明可能起源于非洲。数据还表明，观察到的基因型传播容易和广泛。
Thirty single-nucleotide polymorphisms were used to track the spread of the seventh pandemic caused by Vibrio cholerae. Isolates from the 1991 epidemic in Latin America shared a profile with 1970s isolates from Africa, suggesting a possible origin in Africa. Data also showed that the observed genotypes spread easily and widely.
