Waterborne diseases are conditions (meaning adverse effects on human health, such as death, disability, illness or disorders) [1]: 47 caused by pathogenic micro-organisms that are transmitted by water. These diseases can be spread while bathing, washing, drinking water, or by eating food exposed to contaminated water. [2]
GBS disease Group B Streptococcal disease: GCE Glycine encephalopathy: GD Gestational diabetes: GERD Gastroesophageal reflux disease: GI Gastrointestinal: GIB Gastrointestinal bleeding: GN Glossopharyngeal neuralgia: GORD Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease: GSS disease Gerstmann–Sträussler–Scheinker disease: GT/LD Gifted and learning ...
Poverty is one of the major social determinants of health. The World Health Report (2002) states that diseases of poverty account for 45% of the disease burden in the countries with high poverty rate which are preventable or treatable with existing interventions. [2] Diseases of poverty are often co-morbid and ubiquitous with malnutrition. [3]
Water that is intended for drinking should go through some treatment to reduce pathogenic viral and bacterial concentrations. As the density of the human population has increased the incidence of sewage contamination of water has increased as well, thus the risk to humans from pathogenic viruses will increase if precautions are not taken.

The global 'resistome' based on sewage-based monitoring [45] Gene-sharing network between bacterial genera [45] In 2022, genomic epidemiologists reported results from a global survey of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) via genomic wastewater-based epidemiology, finding large regional variations, providing maps, and suggesting resistance genes are ...
Power failure, human error, or mechanical failure may cause similar discharge of untreated or partially treated sewage from a sewage treatment plant; but this is typically regarded as a sewage treatment plant malfunction rather than a sanitary sewer overflow. Sewage treatment plants may be designed to capture overflow from malfunctioning units ...
Another is that sweating sickness was thought to have been transmitted from human to human, whereas hantaviruses are rarely spread that way. [10] However, infection via human contact has been suggested in hantavirus outbreaks in Argentina. [11] In 2004, microbiologist Edward McSweegan suggested the disease may have been an outbreak of anthrax ...
Since medicalization is the social process through which a condition becomes a medical disease in need of treatment, medicalization may be viewed as a benefit to human society. According to this view, the identification of a condition as a disease will lead to the treatment of certain symptoms and conditions, which will improve overall quality ...
