Cholera is a disease that is spread by contaminated water, particulary, by water that is contaminated by human sewage. If water is properly treated, it will not spread cholera and the disease will be prevented.
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.
Cholera bacteria usually hide and multiply in contaminated water sources, such as rivers, lakes, or untreated wells. They can survive and spread through the ingestion of contaminated water or food, leading to outbreaks of the disease in communities with poor sanitation and hygiene practices.
do not drink contaminated water
Yes, the Peruvian cholera epidemic resulted in less than 10000 cases of cholera due to contaminated water.
Cholera is spread through contaminated water and food. Cholera is unlikely to spread directly from one person to another.
Cholera spread by fecal oral route. That means cholera is there in he feces of the cholera patient in millions. It is mostly transmitted by contaminated water. House fly also play important role in the spread of cholera. Flies sit on the feces of the cholera patient and then on your food, to transfer the bacteria to you.
John Snow discovered cholera in 1852, from contaminated water.
Cholera is usually spread through water contaminated by faeces and unhygenic practices

Cholera is a dreadful disease caused by unsanitary conditions found along rivers which pioneers stopped to camp at. It is caused by contaminated water. They do human waste on the rivers and they drank the water. They threw animal carcasses on the river which they drank. They threw food on the rivers which caused the water in river to turn into an contaminated water which they drank caused cholera. Sadly, the emigrants did not realize that they will get cholera from the contaminated water.
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.
