Data relating cholera and rainfall from four areas in Haiti:

  1. Country-wide cholera case data from Haiti Ministry of Health (MSPP), together with rainfall data from NASA Tropical Measurement Mission.
  2. Cholera case data from Hospital Albert Schweitzer (Haiti), together with rainfall data from NASA Tropical Measurement Mission.
  3. Cholera case data from Port-au-Prince, as reported by the MSPP, together with rainfall data measured from USGS rain gauge in Foret de Pins.
  4. Cholera case data from Internally Displaced Persons camps, together with rainfall data from USGS rain gauge in Morne Gentilehomme.

These data were reported in:
