Transmission occurs from man to man via
Fecally Contaminated Water
- Fruits & Vegetables
- Uncontrolled water sources such as wells, lakes, ponds, streams and rivers pose a great threat.
- Contaminated Food Drinks: Ingestion of contaminated food and drinks have been associated with outbreaks of cholera. Bottle feeding could be a significant risk factor for infants. Fruits and vegetables washed with contaminated water can be a source of infection. After preparation, cooked food may be contaminated through contaminated hands and/or flies.
Pathogenesis
The main symptom of cholera is diarrhea.
Drinking Water
- Contaminated at its source
- Contaminated during storage
- Ice made from contaminated water
Food
- Contaminated during or after preparation
- Fruits and vegatables, freshened with contaminated water and eaten raw.
- Fruits and vegatables, grown at or near ground level and fertilised with night soil or irrigated with water contaminated with human waste, and with eaten raw.
Infection usually spreads through contaminated water and food.
Large epidemics are often related to faecal contamination of drinking water supplies
What else can I help you with?
What is the mode of transmission of cholera?
Cholera is transmitted by fecal oral route. It is transmitted by contaminated water. It is also transmitted by contamination of food by flies and by contaminated hands.
How has the virulence of cholera related to its mode of transmission?
Cholera's virulence is closely linked to its mode of transmission via contaminated water and food. The bacterium Vibrio cholerae can survive in aquatic environments, allowing it to spread rapidly during outbreaks, especially in areas with poor sanitation. Its ability to produce potent toxins leads to severe dehydration and diarrhea, which can escalate quickly in populations lacking access to clean water. Consequently, the high virulence of cholera enhances its transmission potential, creating a cycle of infection and spread in vulnerable communities.
In the essay On the Mode of Communication of Cholera what is the primary technique that author John Snow uses to support his claim that cholera spreads from person to person?
John Snow primarily uses detailed case studies and maps to show the correlation between contaminated water sources and cholera outbreaks, suggesting that the disease spreads through water contaminated with fecal matter. This technique helps him support his claim that cholera is transmitted person to person through contaminated water sources.
What are the different types of vibrio cholera?
Vibrio cholera-01Vibrio cholera-0139Vibrio cholera-non-01Vibrio cholera-non-0139
What is a sentence using cholera?

How does a cholera vaccination make you immune to cholera?
In cholera vaccination you are injected the dead cells of cholera. So you get antibodies to cholera. This vaccine is not very effective. The protection rate is some where 50 to 60 % only. So you can not keep faith on the vaccine for protection from cholera.
Does chlorine cause cholera?
Chlorine does not cause cholera. You may get cholera, by absence of that little chlorine in public water supply.
What happens when you breathe cholera?
You will not get the cholera by breathing the cholera bacilli. They can infect the gut only. You may get immunized to cholera. But immunity to cholera is short lasting and is not very effective as well. By injecting dead cholera bacilli you get the immunity for cholera.
Can you be vaccinated for cholera?
Yes. You can be vaccinated for cholera. That is an opportunity to discuss about the preventive measures to be taken to prevent the cholera.
