Cholera - Transmission
How does a person get cholera? A person may get cholera by drinking water or eating food contaminated with the cholera bacterium, Vibrio cholerae.
http://sprojects.mmi.mcgill.ca/tropmed/disease/chol/trans.htm

Extractions: A person may get cholera by drinking water or eating food contaminated with the cholera bacterium, Vibrio cholerae . In an epidemic, the source of the contamination is usually the feces of an infected person. The disease can spread rapidly in areas with inadequate treatment of sewage and drinking water. The cholera bacterium may also live in the environment in brackish rivers and coastal waters. Shellfish eaten raw have been a source of cholera, and a few persons in the United States have contracted cholera after eating raw or undercooked shellfish from the Gulf of Mexico. The disease is not likely to spread directly from one person to another; therefore, casual contact with an infected person is not a risk for becoming ill. In the United States, cholera was prevalent in the 1800s but has been virtually eliminated by modern sewage and water treatment systems. However, as a result of improved transportation, more persons from the United States travel to parts of Latin America, Africa, or Asia where epidemic cholera is occurring. U.S. travelers to areas with epidemic cholera may be exposed to the cholera bacterium. In addition, travelers may bring contaminated seafood back to the United States; foodborne outbreaks have been caused by contaminated seafood brought into this country by travelers.

ARS Research Timeline - Story On Hog Cholera Eradication
An article on Hog cholera.
http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/timeline/cholera.htm

Extractions: Farms with hog cholera were quarantined. In the early years of this century [the 1900s], hog cholera "often swept through the countryside, causing devastating losses. During the fall months, looking across the prairies of the Middle West, one could often see smoke ascending from perhaps a half-dozen farms where pigs dead of cholera were being burned," USDA veterinarian C.N. McBryde recalled later... On January 31, 1978, Secretary Bob Bergland declared the United States hog cholera free in ceremonies in Washington, D.C. This was 99 years after USDA began hog cholera research and 17 years after the start of a Federal-State eradication campaign. Whether hog cholera originated in America or Europe is not definitely established, but most experts believe it to be native to this country. Cholera was first reported in the United States in 1833 in southern Ohio. By 1893, 90 separate areas of infection were known to exist. Outbreaks in 1886, 1887, and 1896 each killed more than 13 percent of the Nation's hogs; more than 10 percent died during the 19l3 outbreak. The disease was still costing producers $50 million a year in the early 1960's. A key research discovery leading to control and eventual eradication of hog cholera was made in l903. Marion Dorset of USDA's Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) demonstrated that hog cholera is caused by an ultramicroscopic virus, and hogs recovered from the disease are immune for life.

Extractions: June 2010 Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae . Every year, there are an estimated 3–5 million cholera cases and 100 000–120 000 deaths due to cholera. The short incubation period of two hours to five days, enhances the potentially explosive pattern of outbreaks. Related links

Fact Sheets Cholera Download a PDF of this fact sheet Fact Sheet Home What is cholera? Cholera is an intestinal disease caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae, serogroup O1 or O139. Although most cases of cholera are seen in areas such as Asia, Africa and South America, a few cases occur in the United States each year. Who gets cholera? Those at risk for getting cholera are people traveling to foreign countries where outbreaks are occurring and people who eat raw or undercooked seafood from warm coastal waters that might be contaminated with sewage. In both instances, the risk is quite small. How is the bacteria spread? The cholera organisms are found in the stool or vomitus of an infected person. The stool or vomitus can directly contaminate food or water, or a person who is infected can spread the bacteria by not washing their hands after going to the bathroom and then handling food that is eaten by others. In the United States, most cases have been related to eating raw or undercooked seafood. What are the symptoms of cholera?

Extractions: Cholera: G Proteins are at full speed ahead Cholera is caused by a comma-shaped bacterium, Vibrio cholerae , which is ingested in contaminated water and food. The bacteria multiply enormously in the intestine, where epithelial cells allow fluid to leak into the intestine with intense diarrhoea as a result. Cholera is endemic in India and other parts of the third world. The bacterium discovered by Robert Koch in 1884, can be killed by antibiotics, but the disease is caused by a bacterial toxin, which irreversibly activates the G proteins of epithelial cells in the intestine. This results in an often life-threatening loss of water and salts. From Koch's discovery of the cholera bacterium in 1884 it took researchers about 100 years to expose the real cause of the disease - the effect of the bacterial toxin on G proteins The cholera bacterium is shaped like a comma with a tail (above).

Extractions: Home Cholera Cholera is a diarrhoeal infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae . It is usually transmitted via contaminated water and food. In its most severe form it begins suddenly and can cause death by severe dehydration and kidney failure. Major outbreaks occur with explosive increases in the number of cases. Although, about 75% of infected people have no symptoms, cholera can be serious for children and adults. People with lower immunity, such as malnourished children or people living with HIV, are at greater risk of death.

It is caused by a bacterium Vibrio cholerae . This bacteria usually lives in water Vibrio cholera is more common where fresh water mixes with salt water, like where rivers enter the ocean. It is more common in water with lots of algae Cholera is an acute intestinal illness. It causes stomach aches, very watery diarrhea , and vomiting . The diarrhea and vomiting, in turn, can cause very bad dehydration , leading to death if untreated. If you have these symptoms visit your doctor as soon as possible. Single Vibrio Cholera Cholera is contracted by eating foods and/or drinking water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio Cholerae Often, people get cholera from eating fish that is not cooked enough. They can also get it if they eat food or drink that was polluted with the diarrhoea from people who have cholera. The most common symptoms of cholera are dehydration and fever. People with cholera need medical treatment. Most of the treatment for cholera is giving people fluids (water) and electrolytes (salts). For most people with cholera, fluids and electrolytes are given by mouth. This can be done with 80-90% of people. The best way to give this by mouth is WHO-ORS:
