Cholera is a worldwide diarrheal disease, caused by the ingestion of Vibrio cholerae in contaminated water. Nowadays cholera is still occurring in developing countries, war zones and natural disasters zones. The WHO reported over 1 million cases over the year 2015 and the mortality was around 1%1. In April 2017, a cholera epidemic burst in Yemen. In August, more than 500,000 cases have already been identified. These epidemics and crisis are sometimes still surpassing the abilities of the non-governmental organizations to help populations2 in the long-term. Drinking water shortages and the lack of hygienic facilities in developing countries are the main reasons explaining current outbreaks.
