From: An unusual two-strain cholera outbreak in Lebanon, 2022-2023: a genomic epidemiology study
a Number of suspected cholera cases per day vs. the confirmed number of cases per day in Lebanon until January 5, 2023. The dates of first isolation for the antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) and extensively drug-resistant XDR isolates are shown above the epidemic curve. The dates on which the isolates sequenced in this study were obtained are shown under the epidemic curve. b Cumulative attack rates (per 100,000) per governorate and district (within the governorate) of Lebanon are colour coded with shades of blue, where darker shades correspond progressively to a higher cumulative attack rate. The different governorates are labelled, and their limits are indicated by bold lines. Coloured circles indicate the number and type of sequenced isolates per governorate (Yellow: antimicrobial drug-resistant (AMR) and light purple: extensively drug-resistant (XDR)). These circles are randomly placed within each governorate. The five main cities are indicated in red (the city of Beirut belongs to the Beirut governorate). The small inlay map—which shows the geographic location of Lebanon (in red) in the Middle East—was created with MapChart (https://www.mapchart.net/).
