It can be spread through water contaminated with human feces. Although, theoretically, this can happen even in developed countries, the only practical danger is in under-developed countries with poor sewage/water supply systems. The two most common causes of the disease are infection with a specific bacteria or amoeba. Both of these thrive in water contaminated with human feces, as these two pathogens pass through infected persons in their feces.
What else can I help you with?
What is a bacterial infection that occurs mostly in hot countries and is spread through food and water?
the answer is dysentery
Amoebic dysentery is a serious protozoan infection. It is most likely spread through?
Amoebic dysentery is most likely spread through the ingestion of contaminated food or water that contains the cysts of the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. Poor sanitation and hygiene practices, particularly in areas with inadequate water treatment, significantly increase the risk of transmission. Additionally, direct contact with infected individuals can also contribute to the spread of the infection.
Is Amoebic Dysentery Infectious or noninfectious?
No, amoebic dysentery is not infectious. It is transmitted through contaminate food or water.
How did you catch dysentery?
Dysentery can be caught by a bacterial infection. Another way dysentery is caught is through eating food or drinking water that has been contaminated with human waste.
What do houseflies spread?
cholera,dysentery and typhoid
How does Amebic dysentery spread from one person to another?
Fecal-oral route as an effect of bad hygiene or contaminated water.
Dysentery typhoid fever and salmonella can be spread by?
flies
What conditions would lead to the spread of dysentery during the Holocaust?
the conditions that lead to dysentery were from poor conditions and from under heat
What are the common diseases caused by bad water quality?
Common diseases caused by bad water quality include cholera, typhoid fever, dysentery, and hepatitis A. These diseases are typically spread through contaminated water sources and can lead to serious health issues if not treated promptly.
How is dysentery spread?
Amoebic dysentery is passed on by carelessness of people and negligible hygiene. The Entamoeba histolytica amoeba and the shigella bacteria often thrive in food and water contaminated by human feces. As these parasites live in the large intestine, they travel in the feces of infected people, and a number of times bacillary dysentery has occurred as the feces contaminate the water supplies where sanitation is poor, or where sewage mixes with drinking water.
What are vectors for amoebic dysentery?
The vectors of amoebic dysentery are contaminated food and water. The parasite responsible for the disease, Entamoeba histolytica, is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food or water containing the parasite's cysts. Improving sanitation and practicing good hygiene are important measures to prevent the transmission of amoebic dysentery.
What type of pathogen is dysentery?
Dysentery is primarily caused by pathogens such as bacteria, specifically Shigella species, and parasites like Entamoeba histolytica. Bacterial dysentery, known as bacillary dysentery, is characterized by severe diarrhea with blood and mucus, while amoebic dysentery is caused by the protozoan and can also lead to similar symptoms. Both types are typically transmitted through contaminated food and water.
