Cholera

outlines how human behaviours and populations within specific environments may contribute to the spread of disease. Since cholera is spread through waterways after expelling from the human body into these waterways through fecal matter, the behaviour for humans to not treat their water sources can then lead to the spread of disease, since humans cannot survive without water. Cholera can also be spread through the direct handling of human fecal matter. Preventative medicines can help decrease…

Waterborne diseases such as polio, cholera, hepatitis, and dysentery are awful diseases and considerably debilitating and in some cases fatal. These diseases are caused by highly pathogenic waterborne bacteria such as Clostridium botulinum, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella dysenteriae, and Salmonella typhi.

The Germ Theory of Disease which is, specific diseases are caused by specific microorganisms, changed the medical field completely. It battled the Spontaneous Generation theory that dominated the medical thought as the cause of disease. The theory originated through the work of many different physicians and would eventually change and improve the medical and public health systems.

Manchester and Liverpool respectively. As the population grew, Victorian urban cities encountered more and more health issues. Endemic diseases, such as typhus and typhoid, re-emerged alongside with new epidemics emerging in the cities, such as cholera and smallpox (Haley, 1978).

For the typhus, 67 in 100,000 died where 75 in 100,000 were children under 15…

Cholera infections occur in three to five million people every year (WHO 2016). Copepods, zooplankton which act as a host for cholera bacteria, play a primary role in the tropical ecosystem and bloom in nutrient-rich waters. The risk of an outbreak can never be completely ruled…
