Cholera

Cholera is not a big problem in US. Cholera affects the US citizens very rarely. May be a case or two per year. US people take it very offensively to have any preventable health problem to their citizens.

Cholera spreads so fast because it usually spreads by contaminated water. So it affects many people in one stroke. Secondly each patient produce very large amount of bacteria culture in the form of loose motion. Thirdly the patients tend to run away in their incubation period, taking with them the disease at some distant place. This creates the distant and independent focus, making it difficult for the health system to manage the epidemics.

In cholera the patient gets vomiting fallowed by severe loose motion. The isotonic fluid from the extracellular compartment is grossly reduced making the patient grossly hypertensive. Ultimately he dies of the complications of hypovolemia.

Acute disease

move!

Cholera does not spread through air. But then cholera spread by housefly. You can call it spread by 'Air'.

Cholera spread by fecal oral route. So cholera mainly spreads through infected water source. It may spread by houseflies and by hands through contamination of food articles.

Type your answer here... yes

Wilhelm Kolle who was a German bacteriologist was the first to discover the cholera and typhoid vaccines in 1896.

Cholera is still around and is extremely deadly if it is not taken care of properly. The cure for cholera is water, which is awesome, but in regions where cholera outbreaks occur, it may be hard to find clean water to drink.

Epidemic

col er ah

how did you not know that you prat

Intestines

2000 people a year.

Yes. The cholera vaccine is a killed vaccine.

In case of cholera, you have vomiting and loose motion. So fluids is lost from you body. There is fall in blood pressure. Patient can die of dehydration. So you have to give 'saline' (Ringer's lactate) to treat the cholera.

The incubation period is 4 to 12 hours after eating and/or drinking the substance with cholera in it. However, death will follow in 18 hours to several days unless oral rehydration therapy is provided.

i wish i could answer it becuz i have diz question on my wanted bacterial poster my techer mr carnahan assined me but as soon i get the answer ill post it here.by the way shout out to ana jazmin, and maritza

The Black Plague was deadly in times past. Entire families died from it. The cause was plague-infected flea bites from rats--but this was not known until the last hundred years or so. These days, antibiotics and monitoring of the early stages of illness help prevent deaths.

The type of pathogen that causes cholera is bacteria... one called Vibrio Cholerae (V. Cholerae). It's a gram-negative thingamajig - no idea what that is, sadly.

Cholera bacteria was first isolated by Filipo pancini 1812-1883, 84 years before he was actually credited with its discovery. A paper was published by him in in 1854 during the Asiatic cholera pandemic of 1846-63. in it he has the description of the cholera causing organism and its relationship to the disease. It was titled Microscopical observations and pathological deductions on cholera.
