- Most important of these is Entamoeba histolytica, which causes amebiasis and dysentery. The diseases often occur in epidemics when raw sewage contaminates water supplies or when soil is fertilized with untreated wastes. Amoebic dysentery is most commonly spread by water or contaminated, uncooked food or from carriers.

Five diseases far deadlier than Ebola found in the US A rare but highly lethal disease which sees the nervous system infected by a type of amoeba which can be found in warm, stagnant freshwater including swimming pools and lakes. Only five people have ever survived the disease, representing a 97 per cent fatality rate. Infection can occur if contaminated water enters deep into the sinus cavities.

Pollution May Cause 40 Percent of Global Deaths A 2004 study by the Population Resource Center found that 2.2 million infants and children die each year from diarrhea, caused largely by contaminated water and food. And, according to their estimates, polluted water in Africa and India causes 1.4 million deaths each year as a result of diarrheal diseases such as cholera and dysentery.

Millions in U.S. Drink Dirty Water, Records Show The majority of drinking water violations since 2004 have occurred at water systems serving fewer than 20,000 residents, where resources and managerial expertise are often in short supply. It is unclear precisely how many American illnesses are linked to contaminated drinking water. Many of the most dangerous contaminants regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act have been tied to diseases like cancer that can take years to develop. But scientific research indicates that as many as 19 million Americans may become ill each year due to just the parasites, viruses and bacteria in drinking water. Certain types of cancer — such as breast and prostate cancer — have risen over the past 30 years, and research indicates they are likely tied to pollutants like those found in drinking water.

What Diseases can be caused by Flood Waters? Diseases typically transmitted by vectors can include malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and West Nile Fever, among others. In addition to water-borne and vector based diseases, there is also the potential for danger to those health workers who deal with corpses of humans who perished during the flood conditions.here is an increased risk of contracting diseases such as tuberculosis, some blood borne viruses, and infections of the gastrointestinal tract. Flood waters are a very dangerous environmental condition, even after the initial flooding has passed.

Preface It gets worse. The water they find is usually contaminated with diarrhoeal diseases, such as dysentery and cholera, which cause the deaths of 2,000 children every day. This is because 2.5 billion people worldwide live without a private and safe toilet. And when you have to go, you have to go.

Flooding and communicable diseases fact sheet This resulted in an outbreak of balantidiasis, an intestinal protozoan. A cyclone and flooding in Mauritius in 1980 led to an outbreak of typhoid fever. The only epidemic-prone infection directly from contaminated water is leptospirosis, a zoonotic bacterial disease. Transmission occurs through contact with water, damp soil or vegetation, or mud contaminated with rodent urine. 1 Vector-borne diseases-Floods may lead to an increase in vector-borne diseases through the expansion of vector habitats.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Studies have found that adequate water supply and sanitation – which reduces contact with contaminated surface water – could reduce infection rates by 77 per cent. Trachoma. Trachoma is an eye infection spread mainly through poor hygiene caused by lack of adequate water supplies and unsafe environmental sanitation conditions. About 6 million people are blind today because of trachoma.

- Contaminated food and water can also pose a risk of cholera and a variety of conditions caused by protozoan and helminthic parasites. Many of the infectious diseases associated with contaminated food and water are caused by pathogens transmitted via the fecal-oral route.mong the infectious diseases that travelers can acquire from contaminated food and water are Escherichia coli infections, shigellosis or bacillary dysentery, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, norovirus infection, hepatitis A, and salmonelloses, including typhoid fever.

Water Recreational water illnesses (RWIs) are diseases that are spread by swallowing, breathing, or having contact with contaminated water from swimming pools, hot tubs, lakes, rivers, or the ocean. The most commonly reported RWI is diarrhea caused by parasites, such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia intestinalis.

Flooding and communicable diseases fact sheet Floods can potentially increase the transmission of the following communicable diseases: 1  Water-borne diseases, such as typhoid fever, cholera, leptospirosis and hepatitis A. 2  Vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever, yellow fever, and West Nile Fever.his was probably because the flood was complicated by population displacement. Floods in Mozambique in January-March 2000 led to an increase in the incidence of diarrhoea and in 1998, floods in West Bengal led to a large cholera epidemic (01,El Tor, Ogawa).

Dehydration Dehydration can be the result of conditions that cause the body to lose too much water, such as excessive heat, sweating, illness, low humidity, medication side effects, and high elevation, such as in the mountains. Dehydration can also be the result of not drinking enough water and fluids. Dehydration can be mild, moderate or severe and life-threatening. Infants, children, athletes and the elderly are particularly prone to dehydration and severe complications, although dehydration can occur in any age group or population.
