    Study Notes

    • Water-borne, water-washed, and water-related diseases can be caused by ingestion or contact with contaminated water.

    • Examples of water-borne diseases include typhoid, paratyphoid, amoebic dysentery, bacillary dysentery, shigellosis, giardiasis, cholera, leptospirosis, poliomyelitis, and Rotavirus.

    • Water-washed diseases include intestinal helminths (ancylostomiasis, ascariasis), conjunctivitis, trachoma, and typhus.

    • Schistosomiasis (bilharziasis), a waterbased disease, is caused by a parasite found in intermediate hosts (snails) living in water and results in skin penetration.

    • Mosquitoes breeding in water or biting near water can transmit waterrelated diseases such as dengue fever, yellow fever, malaria, filariasis, trypanosomiasis, and acute gastroenteritis.

    • Acute gastroenteritis is a worldwide disease caused by bacterial, viral, and parasitic agents often transmitted through contaminated food or water.

    • Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal colic, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, malnutrition, and prolonged carrier state.

    • Typhoid fever (Enteric Fever) is a serious water-borne disease caused by salmonella typhi, with symptoms including high fever, headache, malaise, anorexia, constipation, and potentially severe complications such as intestinal hemorrhage or perforation, myocarditis, or cholecystitis.

    • Prevention measures include socioeconomic development, environmental sanitation, health education, and personal hygiene.

    • Food poisoning can be caused by infectious organisms or noninfectious substances, and can be classified according to incubation period with examples such as Staph aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium botulinum, E coli, Campylobacter, nontyphoidal Salmonella, Shigella, Rotavirus, Adenoviruses, Yersinia, Enterohemorrhagic E coli, Entamoeba histolytica (Amebiasis), Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Listeria, Brucella, and hepatitis A, among others.

    • Bacterial food poisoning can be characterized by symptom onset within hours, large-scale outbreaks, and similar manifestations.

    • Common examples of bacterial food poisoning include Salmonella food poisoning, Staph food poisoning, and Botulism.
