Transmission of cholera ends in 1824.

Some researchers believe that may have been due to the cold winter of 1823–24, which would have killed the bacteria in the water supplies.

The movement of British Army and Navy personnel is believed to have contributed to the range of the pandemic.

Hindu pilgrims had carried cholera within the subcontinent, as had happened many times previously, but British troops had carried it overland to Nepal and Afghanistan.

The Navy and merchant ships had carried people with the disease to the shores of the Indian Ocean, from Africa to Indonesia, and north to China and Japan.

The total deaths from the epidemic remain unknown.
