What are the drivers of recurrent cholera transmission in Nigeria? Evidence from a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The 2018 cholera outbreak in Nigeria affected over half of the states in the country, and was characterised by high attack and case fatality rates. The country continues to record cholera cases and related deaths to date.

This study therefore aimed to fill this important research gap, with a view to informing the design and implementation of appropriate preventive and control measures.

Methods
