From the Paper:

"Cholera is a disease that continues to have a devastating impact on many areas of the world, despite advancements in treatment and prevention. The simple fact is that large areas of the world still do not have access to safe drinking water, free from contamination from sewage and other pathogen sources. For this reason, it seems imperative that continued work progress toward the development of a safe and reliable set of vaccines, capable of protecting those that are unable to simply "avoid" contracting the disease while on vacation. After all, while tourist health is certainly important, one would imagine that the health of the millions of people forced through circumstances to live in the areas hardest hit by the disease be allowed to live a life free from the devastating affects of cholera as well."
