Cholera is an infectious disease in the sense that it's caused by a bacterium (Vibrio cholerae) and spreads through contaminated water. However, it's not directly infectious from person to person except among coprophages.

Yes. One insect spreads cholera. Name of that insect is housefly. Housefly sits on the stool of cholera patient and then on your food. It directly transfer the millions of bacteria to you. This way housefly transfer many other fecal oral diseases to you. You need to see the leg of housefly under light microscope.

Cholera is one of the highly contagious diseases. The short incubation period, the large number of bacteria, that are excreted in feces, contribute to the contagiousness of cholera bacteria. Cholera bacteria may grow in the watery diarrhoea also, probably, by geometric proportion.
