Cholera was originally endemic to the Indian subcontinent, with the Ganges River likely serving as a contamination reservoir. The disease spread by trade routes (land and sea) to Russia, then to Western Europe, and from Europe to North America during the Irish Immigration period. Cholera is no longer considered a pressing health threat in Europe and North America due to filtering and chlorination of water supplies, but still heavily affects populations in developing countries.

How do you stop cholera epidemic?
To stop the cholera epidemic, you need to attack the cholera on two fronts. One is to stop the spread of cholera and second is to treat the patients of cholera. Chlorination of water is the best method to make the water safe for drinking. For chlorination to be effective, the water need to be free from the organic material. You go for super-chlorination in cholera epidemic. Food should be freshly cooked to eat. Second in treatment of the cholera patients. If the patient of cholera dies, you may create the panic in the minds of people and they can run to other towns to create the new foci of cholera epidemic. So you need to isolate the patients to some convenient place, like school. You have to treat the patient aggressively, with intravenous fluids as well as with oral re-hydration solution. You need to seek cooperation from all the sections of the community. Quality of leadership makes all the difference. With proper and confident management you can stop the cholera epidemic, rather dramatically.
