Abstract
Deadly River: Cholera and Cover-Up in Post-Earthquake Haiti, by Ralph R. Frerichs
Highlights
Do we have the opportunity to follow a genuine detective story about a timely and urgent topic written intelligently by a scientist who does not talk down to us
French epidemiologist Renaud Piarroux has been challenged for asserting that it was caused by infected U.N. troops from Nepal—an endemic country that had a recent outbreak—who were neither tested nor treated
River follows the work of Piarroux from October 2010 until late 2014, recounting a real-life, all-too-deadly detective story, as much about Piarroux and his methods as about epidemiological research and the outbreak in Haiti itself

River: Cholera and Cover-Up in Post-Earthquake Haiti. The cholera epidemic in Haiti has killed almost 10,000 people since its outbreak in 2010.
