In a series of field visits conducted in Haiti between 2011 and 2013, water and plankton samples were collected at 19 sites. <jats:italic>Vibrio cholerae<\/jats:italic> was detected using culture, polymerase chain reaction, and direct viable count methods (DFA-DVC). Cholera toxin genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction in broth enrichments of samples collected in all visits except March 2012. Toxigenic <jats:italic>V. cholerae<\/jats:italic> was isolated from river water in 2011 and 2013. Whole genome sequencing revealed that these isolates were a match to the outbreak strain. The DFA-DVC tests were positive for <jats:italic>V. cholerae<\/jats:italic> O1 in plankton samples collected from multiple sites. Results of this survey show that toxigenic <jats:italic>V. cholerae<\/jats:italic> could be recovered from surface waters in Haiti more than 2 years after the onset of the epidemic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.13-0601","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,11]],"date-time":"2014-11-11T03:53:57Z","timestamp":1415678037000},"page":"118-125","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Environmental
