Waterborne
Illnesses
This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. Waterborne illnesses refer to a series of diseases caused by microorganisms, chemical and unidentified etiologic agents, which may be transmitted through water and acquired through ingestion, bathing, or other means. Common etiologic agents include Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Giardia, Cryptosporidium and E. coli. The epidemic or outbreak patterns of these diseases often match poor water treatment and delivery systems, or contaminated surface water sources. Symptoms may vary from acute dehydrating diarrhea, prolonged febrile illness, abdominal pain, acute bloody diarrhea to chronic diarrhea. Deaths resulted from waterborne illnesses are estimated at one million a year in the world.
