In 2007, a cholera epidemic occurred on two of the three islands of the Comoros archipelago: Grande Comore and Moheli. This study is based on data from the files of the 1571 patients admitted to five cholera treatment centers (CTC). The outbreak lasted for ten months. A dramatic peak was observed in July and August corresponding to the traditional wedding season during which hundreds of guests including returning diaspora gather to celebrate "Grand Marriages". Initial stool cultures identified Vibrio cholerae O1, Ogawa serotype. The in-center fatality rate was 1.85%. Poor socio-economical conditions combined with a rapid turnover of health personnel and delayed response of the health authorities could lead to endemisation.
2007年，科摩罗群岛三个岛屿中的两个岛屿——大科摩罗岛和莫埃利岛——发生了霍乱疫情。本研究基于五个霍乱治疗中心收治的1571例患者的病历数据。疫情持续了十个月。7月和8月出现了一个高峰，这与传统婚礼季节相对应，在此期间，包括归国侨民在内的数百名宾客聚集在一起庆祝“盛大婚礼”。最初的粪便培养鉴定出霍乱弧菌O1小川血清型。中心内病死率为1.85%。社会经济条件差，加上卫生人员快速更替以及卫生当局反应迟缓，可能导致疾病流行。
