I also am not expert but also did some research through various texts including the Red Cross / John Hopkins Manual on environmental Health. As far as I can see there does not seem a conclusive test for cholera, there are tests as Toby says for various contributors such as faecal coliforms, and for indicators of these (e-coli etc).
From the various texts looked at today I cannot identify a specific conclusive "test" for cholera .... it seems more a case of an experienced medical practitioner identifying the cholera from the various surrounding conditions causing risk, and an observation of the various symptoms exhibited by patients ... which might individually also be shared by other conditions
