Cholera is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Vibrio cholerae that infects the small intestine. It is typically contracted by consuming food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected individual. The bacteria release a toxin that causes severe watery diarrhea and vomiting, which can lead to rapid dehydration and death if untreated. The disease spreads through the fecal-oral route, with transmission aided by the bacteria's ability to form biofilms on crustaceans like copepods, allowing large concentrations to infect humans. Prevention focuses on drinking safe water, handwashing, proper sanitation, and fully cooking food.
Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae. It spreads through contaminated food or water and causes watery diarrhea that can lead to severe dehydration and death if untreated. While rare in developed nations, it remains common in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America where sanitation and access to clean water is limited. The primary treatment is oral rehydration therapy to replace fluid losses. Antibiotics may also be used to shorten the illness.

Epidemiology and Control Measures for CholeraAB Rajar
It is an acute diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio Cholera typically characterized by sudden onset of profuse,effortless,watery diarrhea followed by vomiting, rapid dehydration, muscular cramps and suppression of urine.
Cholera, typhoid fever and dysentery are some communicable diseases that are mainly caused due to ingestion of food which are contaminated with pathogenic micro-organisms.
This document discusses water-borne diseases and their prevention. It notes that water-borne diseases are a major cause of death worldwide, spread through contaminated water. Some of the most common water-borne diseases discussed are cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A, and diarrhea. Prevention methods include access to safe drinking water, proper sanitation, hand washing, water purification, and vaccination. The document provides details on symptoms, transmission, and treatment for several specific water-borne diseases.
Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It remains a global threat, with an estimated 100,000-120,000 deaths per year. The disease spreads through contaminated food and water and outbreaks often occur in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water. While most infected individuals are asymptomatic, cholera can cause severe dehydration and death if left untreated. Effective treatment involves oral rehydration therapy. Prevention relies on vaccination, improved water quality, sanitation and hygiene. The WHO recommends surveillance, preparedness, treatment and use of oral cholera vaccines to control outbreaks.
Cholera Symptoms: 5 risk factors you should be anxious aboutAnshumanGohain1
Cholera symptoms are usually mild, but in some extreme conditions, they can be fatal if left untreated. Cholera mostly prevails in poverty and places affected by natural disasters or war. People in these places live in crowded conditions, and they don’t have access to proper sanitation.
Cholera symptoms show its effects within a few hours of infection. In some cases, it may also take 3 to 5 days.
Cholera is a type of infectious disease that will cause watery diarrhea, eventually leading to dehydration. If it is left untreated, it can lead to death.
Cholera is caused by drinking water or eating food that contains a bacterium known as Vibrio Cholerae. During the 1800s, a large population of the United States was affected by cholera. But after the modernization of the water and sewage systems, the rate of this disease has lessened.
Usually, cholera symptoms are not severe. But sometimes, it may be serious as well. 1/20th of every cholera-infected person suffers diarrhea and vomiting, leading to dehydration.
Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by ingesting the Vibrio cholerae bacteria. It has caused several pandemics throughout history and is still prevalent in low-income and developing areas with poor sanitation. The disease causes profuse watery diarrhea which can lead to severe dehydration and death if untreated. While symptoms are often mild, transmission is through contaminated food or water. Treatment focuses on oral rehydration and antibiotics can reduce symptoms. Prevention relies on access to clean water, food safety, and basic hygiene.
This document discusses waterborne diseases and epidemics caused by contaminated drinking water. It outlines various bacteria, viruses, and protozoa that can be transmitted through water and cause diseases like cholera, typhoid fever, diarrhea, and jaundice. Treatment of drinking water through chlorination and water filtration has reduced waterborne disease outbreaks in developed nations. However, in developing parts of the world where water treatment is not universal, waterborne illnesses remain a major public health issue. The document emphasizes the importance of access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation globally.
Acute Diarrheal Disease is defined as the passage of loose, liquid or watery stools more than three times a day. It is caused by a variety of pathogens including viruses like rotavirus, and bacteria like ETEC. Clinical management involves oral rehydration therapy to prevent dehydration, intravenous fluids for severe cases, and continued feeding. Prevention strategies target both short-term control through appropriate case management and long-term control through improved sanitation, hygiene, and access to healthcare.
This document provides information about cholera, including its symptoms, treatment, statistics, prevention, history, causes, and references. Key points include: symptoms include diarrhea, stomach pains, and vomiting; it is treated with oral rehydration and antibiotics; it is spread through contaminated food and water; prevention includes proper sanitation, handwashing, and drinking safe water; and it has caused epidemics globally, especially in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Cholera is an infection of the small intestine caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It causes severe watery diarrhea that can lead to dehydration, shock, and even death if untreated. Symptoms include profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. The bacterium is usually contracted by consuming food or water contaminated with feces from an infected person. Cholera remains a problem in places with poor sanitation and is spread through contaminated water supplies. Treatment focuses on fluid replacement either orally or intravenously. Antibiotics may shorten the illness duration. Travelers to affected areas should avoid tap water and foods that may be contaminated.
Cholera is an infection of the small intestine caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It causes severe watery diarrhea that leads to dehydration. Symptoms include profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. If untreated, cholera can kill within hours due to massive fluid loss and electrolyte imbalances. It spreads through contaminated food and water in areas with poor sanitation and is a major cause of death in developing nations. Treatment focuses on fluid replacement either orally or intravenously. Antibiotics may shorten the illness but prevention through water treatment and hygiene is important in controlling outbreaks.
Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It remains a global threat, with an estimated 2.9 million cases and 95,000 deaths worldwide annually. The disease spreads through contaminated food and water and can kill within hours if left untreated. Cholera outbreaks typically occur in areas with poor sanitation and lack of clean drinking water. Prevention relies on vaccination, water treatment, hygiene and proper sanitation.
Water-borne diseases cause millions of deaths worldwide each year due to contaminated drinking water. Diseases like cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A, ascariasis and scabies spread via the fecal-oral route when drinking water is contaminated by human or animal waste. Improving access to clean drinking water and sanitation is critical for preventing water-borne diseases. Case management focuses on rehydration, monitoring for complications, and patient/family education to prevent further spread.

1. Introduction
• Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the
intestine with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. An estimated 3-5
million cases and over 100,000 deaths occur each year around the
world. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but can
sometimes be severe. Approximately one in 10 (5-10%) infected
persons will have severe disease characterized by profuse watery
diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. In these people, Without
treatment, death can occur within hours.
2. History of Cholera
• Every year 3-5 million people around the world are infected with cholera and
100,000- 120,000 people die from the infectious disease,
• 1) The word cholera is from Greek: "bile". Cholera likely has its origins in the
Indian subcontinent;
• 2) The disease first spread by trade routes (land and sea) to Russia in 1817,
then, through technological advancements, to the rest of Europe, and from Europe
to North America and the rest of the world.
• 3) Seven Cholera pandemics have occurred in the past 200 years.
• 4) Since that time, untold millions have contracted and died from this
preventable infectious disease.
3. Cholera Cause
• 1)Municipal water supplies
• 2)Ice made from municipal water
• 3)Foods and drinks sold by street vendors
• 4)Vegetables grown with water containing human wastes
• 5)Raw or undercooked fish and seafood caught in waters
polluted with sewage
4. Cholera Sign & Symptoms
Symptoms of cholera can begin as soon as a few hours or as long as five days after
infection. Often, symptoms are mild. But sometimes they are very serious.
• 1) Rapid heart rate
• 2) Loss of skin elasticity (the ability to return to original position quickly if
pinched)
• 3) Dry mucous membranes, including the inside of the mouth, throat,
nose, and eyelids
• 4) Low blood pressure
• 5) Thirst
• 6) Muscle cramps
• If not treated, dehydration can lead to shock and death in a matter of hours.
5. Cholera Treatment & Prevention
Although there is a vaccine against cholera, the CDC and World Health
Organization don't normally recommend it, because it may not protect
up to half of the people who receive it and it lasts only a few months.
However, you can protect yourself and your family by using only water
that has been boiled, water that has been chemically disinfected, or
bottled water. Be sure to use the bottled, boiled, or chemically
disinfected water for the following purposes:
1)Drinking
2)Preparing food or drinks
3)Brushing your teeth
4)Washing your face and hands
5)Washing dishes and utensils that you use to eat or prepare food
6)Washing fruits and vegetables
6. Cholera Treatment & Prevention
To disinfect your own water, boil it for one minute (or 3
minutes at higher elevations) or filter it and use a
commercial chemical disinfectant. You should also avoid
raw foods, including the following:
• 1)Unpeeled fruits and vegetables.
• 2)Unpasteurized milk and milk products.
• 3)Raw or undercooked meat or shellfish.
• 4)Fish caught in tropical reefs, which may be contaminated.
