Cholera

There are an estimated 3-5 million cholera cases and 100 000-20000 deaths due to cholera every year.

Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. This pathogen produces a potent toxin that leads to severe diarrhea and dehydration, often resulting from contaminated water or food. Cholera outbreaks are typically associated with poor sanitation and inadequate access to clean drinking water. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent severe complications and death.

It was believed that, yes. Scientists thought cholera was also spread by air. Recently some scientific studies had proven that no... Cholera is only spread by food and water.

yes cholera is curable and the symtoms are severe vomiting diarrhea and muscle cramps and when you start expriancing such syptoms you must go to a doctor where he will give you water liquids that will help you regain all the fluids and salts that you have lost from vomiting and diarrhea

No, mosquitoes did not start cholera. Cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which is typically spread through contaminated water or food. Mosquitoes are not vectors for this disease; instead, they are known for transmitting other diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. Cholera outbreaks are primarily linked to poor sanitation and lack of clean drinking water.

Cholera primarily affects the gastrointestinal system, particularly the intestines, where the Vibrio cholerae bacteria release toxins that lead to severe diarrhea and dehydration. This can result in significant fluid loss and electrolyte imbalances. Additionally, the rapid dehydration can impact the cardiovascular system, leading to shock and potentially affecting kidney function. If untreated, cholera can be life-threatening due to these systemic effects.

Without treatment, the lethality rate for cholera can be as high as 50% to 70%. The disease can lead to severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances within hours, making prompt medical intervention critical. With effective treatment, including rehydration therapy, the mortality rate drops significantly to below 1%.

John Snow discovered cholera in 1852, from contaminated water.

Vibrio cholera, the bacterium that causes the disease "cholera" is not a Coccus, Bacillus, or Spirillum. being of the genus Vibrio, it is a Gram-negative curved/straight rod, motile by means of monotrichous flagellation (a single polar flagellum) for a more complete description of the Vibrio genus, see Dr. Kenneth Todar, PhD's page on http://www.textbookofbacteriology.net/cholera.html It should explain many of the traits common to genus Vibrio.

Cholera occurs when adequate public health measures have broken down. Specifically, this happens when populated areas experience sewage overflow, in times of heavy rains. Coliform bacteria, from feces, spread throughout the water supply, and diarrrheal disease can be difficult to treat when an epidemic breaks out. Thus, many people often die during severe cholera outbreaks.

vibrio cholerae produces cholera toxin which is an enterotoxin, whose action on the mucosal epithelium lining of the small intestine is responsible for the massive diarrhoea of the disease.

Because of an extensive system of sewage and water treatment in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia, cholera is generally not a concern for visitors and residents of these regions. People visiting or living in other parts of the world, particularly on the Indian subcontinent and in parts of Africa and South America, should be aware of the potential for contracting cholera and practice prevention. Fortunately, the disease is both preventable and treatable.

so technically, Africa and South America have cholera the most

First, London is a city, not a country. And yes, Cholera can be found in almost all countries if sanitation is not adequate or water has been infected.

The skin barrier is breached, because you put the food past it, directly into your mouth. The HCl in the stomach fails to get all of it, as do other antibacterials like lysine. The vibrio enter the body, the white blood cells do not work fast enough. The vibrio produce toxins which cause all the symptoms.

Essentially the same structure as a typical Prokaryotic cell.

Vibreo cholare is a Gram negative bacterium.

It is one of the characteristics of cholera but not always. The term for this is

argyria or commonly "Blue Death". It is caused by severe dehydration due to fluid loss. Some parts of the skin appear a light blue.
