 "The reported incidence of indigenous cholera in sub-Saharan Africa in 2005 ... was 95 times higher than the reported incidence in Asia ... and 16,600 times higher than the reported incidence in Latin America .... In that same year, the cholera case fatality rate in sub-Saharan Africa (1.8%) was 3 times higher than that in Asia (0.6%); no cholera deaths were reported in Latin America. The persistence or control of cholera in Africa will be a key indicator of global efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals and of recent commitments by leaders of the G-8 countries to increase development aid to the region."
