The term "timeline of cholera" refers to the chronological sequence of events related to the emergence, spread, and control of cholera epidemics. Some synonyms for this term include the "cholera history," "cholera chronology," "cholera timeline," or "cholera outbreak timeline." These terms broadly capture the events related to cholera emergence, including the first recorded outbreak in 1817 and the subsequent global spread of the disease through trade routes and human migration.
