Communicable Disease Fact Sheet CHOLERA What Is It? Symptoms How Is It Spread? Prevention What Is It? Cholera is an intestinal disease caused by bacteria called Vibrio cholerae. In countries reporting outbreaks of cholera, the bacteria may be in the water supply, uncooked seafood, or other contaminated foods. Cholera is very rare in the United States. Symptoms Symptoms usually start 2-3 days after exposure and include: Sudden onset of severe watery diarrhea Occasional vomiting and cramping Dehydration (loss of fluids), if not treated In severe untreated cases, death may occur in a few hours. How Is It Spread? Mainly through drinking water contaminated with bowel movements or vomitus from infected people. Also through direct contact with the stools (bowel movements) of infected people. Eating raw or undercooked seafood from polluted waters. Eating other foods that have been contaminated by dirty water, stool, soiled hands, or flies. The bacteria can be cultured from the stool. Mild or moderate cases - Give the person plenty of fluids to drink by mouth. Severe cases - IV fluid therapy and antibiotics: tetracycline or doxycycline.

Todar's Online Textbook of Bacteriology Vibrio cholerae and Asiatic Cholera Introduction The genus Vibrio consists of Gram-negative straight or curved rods, motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Vibrios are capable of both respiratory and fermentative metabolism. O is a universal electron acceptor; they do not denitrify. Most species are oxidase-positive. In most ways vibrios are related to enteric bacteria, but they share some properties with pseudomonads a well. The Family Vibrionaceae is found in the "Facultatively Anaerobic Gram-negative Rods" in Bergey's Manual, on the level with the Family Enterobacteriaceae . Vibrios are distinguished from enterics by being oxidase-positive and motile by means of polar flagella. Of the vibrios that are clinically significant to humans, Vibrio cholerae , the agent of cholera, is the most important. Most vibrios have relatively simple growth factor requirements and will grow in synthetic media with glucose as a sole source of carbon and energy. However, since vibrios are typically marine organisms, most species require 2-3% NaCl or a sea water base for optimal growth. Vibrios vary in their nutritional versatility, but some species will grow on more than 150 different organic compounds as carbon and energy sources, occupying the same level of metabolic versatility as Pseudomonas . In liquid media vibrios are motile by polar flagella that are enclosed in a sheath continuous with the outer membrane of the cell wall. On solid media they may synthesize numerous lateral flagella which are not sheathed.

Health and Hygiene in the Nineteenth Century Added by Laurelyn Douglas '91 (English 264, 1991) n his book, The Healthy Body and Victorian Culture , Bruce Haley asserts that the Victorians were concerned with health over almost all, if not all, other issues. The following passages are excerpted from his book: Nothing occupies a nation's mind with the subject of health like a general contagion. In the 1830s and the 1840s there were three massive waves of contagious disease: the first, form 1831 to 1833, included two influenza epidemics and the initial appearance of cholera; the second, from 1836 to 1842, encompassed major epidemics of influenza, typhus, typhoid , and cholera. As F. H. Garrison has observed, epidemic eruptions in the eighteenth century had been "more scattered and isolated" than theretofore; and in the early decades of the nineteenth century there had been a marked decline in such illnesses as diptheria and influenza. Smallpox, the scourge of the eighteenth century, appeared to be controllable by the new practice of vaccination. Then, in the mid-twenties, England saw serious outbursts of smallpox and typhus, anticipating the pestilential turbulence of the next two decades. The first outbreak of Asiatic cholera in Britain was at Sunderland on the Durham coast during the Autumn of 1831. From there the disease made its way northward into Scotland and southward toward London. Before it had run its course it claimed 52,000 lives. From its point of origin in Bengal it had taken five years to cross Europe, so that when it reached the course of Durham, British doctors were well aware of its nature, if not its cause.

SCHOOLS TV RADIO COMMUNICATE ... INDEX SEARCH menu the Industrial Revolution Public Health Slum housing and cholera epidemics the facts A dead victim of cholera the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th century led to a huge population growth in factory towns and cities. Wages were poor, and cheap back-to-back housing was built to accommodate the thousands of men and women who worked in the factories and mills. Communal wells provided water to streets, but there were few facilities for removing sewage. Waste products were thrown onto the streets and courtyards, often polluting the wells and waterways. Factories polluted the air and rivers with their by-products. the poor, cramped living conditions meant that infectious diseases spread easily. Smallpox, tuberculosis (TB) and typhoid fever were joined in the 19th century by cholera, a germ-based disease spread by infected water. the disease attacked the intestines of victims, who after severe diarrhoea and vomiting, often died within hours. Doctors at the time had no idea what caused the disease; many blamed miasma, or 'bad air'. By the mid-1830s, over 21,000 people had died in Britain of the cholera epidemic. the government finally acted in 1842, when Edwin Chadwick published his report into Britain's public health. In 1848, after cholera had struck again, the Public Health Act was launched, with recommendations that water supplies and sewage facilities be improved in the country's towns and cities. At this stage, the cause of Cholera was still not understood. the link between the spread of cholera and water was not made until 1854 by Dr John Snow. A second Public Health Act in 1875 compelled local authorites to provide sewage disposal facilities and clean water to all. By 1900 the death rate had fallen dramatically and most towns had effective, hygienic sewers and water sytems.

Cholera-Vibrionen werden mit dem Stuhl ausgeschieden und gelangen bei ungenügenden hygienischen Bedingungen (fehlender Wasser-, Abwasser- und Abfallhygiene) in die Nahrung und ins Wasser Inkubationszeit: 1 bis 3 Tage, maximal 10 Tage (abhängig von der Infektionsdosis) Krankheitsbild: Man unterscheidet bei der Cholera verschiedene Verlaufsformen: a) gutartiger Verlauf: Beginnend mit leichten Bauchkrämpfen kommt es zum Auftreten von wäßrigen Durchfälle, es werden jedoch selten mehr als ein Liter Flüssigkeit pro Tag verloren. Die Erkrankung ist klinisch nicht von Durchfallserkrankungen anderer Ursache zu unterscheiden und dauert zwischen 48 Stunden und maximal fünf Tagen. Durch den milden Verlauf treten keine wesentlichen Störungen des Flüssigkeits- und Mineralstoffwechsels auf. b) klassischer Verlauf: Bei dem dramatischen Bild der klassischen Cholera treten massivste reiswasser-ähnliche Durchfällen auf, zu Beginn steht meist auch heftiges Erbrechen. Durch den Durchfall werden bis zu einem halben Liter Flüssigkeit und Mineralsalze in der Stunde verloren. Wird diese Menge nicht ausreichend ersetzt, treten alle Zeichen der Austrocknung (trockene Haut und Schleimhäute, eingefallene Augäpfel, flacher Puls, niedriger Blutdruck und Untertemperatur) auf. Es treten Schock und Nierenversagen ein. Die Cholera führt unbehandelt in bis zu 50% der Fälle zum Tode. Ganz besonders gefährlich ist die Cholera für Kinder.

Infectious diseases not necessarily common in Canada can occur and may even be widespread in other countries. Standards of hygiene and medical care may differ from those at home. Before departure, you should learn about the health conditions in the country or countries you plan to visit, your own risk of disease and the steps you can take to prevent illness. The risk is yours Your risk of acquiring a disease depends on several factors. They include your age, gender, immunization status and current state of health; your itinerary, duration and style of travel (e.g., first class, adventure) and anticipated travel activities (e.g., animal contact, exposure to fresh water, sexual contact); as well as the local disease situation. Risk assessment consultation Health Canada strongly recommends that your travel plans include contacting a travel medicine clinic or physician 6 to 8 weeks before departure. Based on your individual risk assessment, a health care professional can determine your need for immunizations and/or preventive medication (prophylaxis) and advise you on precautions to avoid disease. We can help you locate a travel medicine clinic closest to your home.
