A team of United States-based scientists and engineers have developed a mobile phone app that predicts and maps cholera, a contagious and sometimes deadly disease that in the past killed millions of people and which has seen a resurgence of late.

The team said that their app CholeraMap shows and disseminates colour-coded maps that highlight where there could be a risk of picking up the water-borne disease.
