Infectious diseases that are sensitive to climate can be grouped into: vector-borne diseases (transmitted via mosquitos, ticks etc.), waterborne diseases (transmitted via viruses or bacteria through water), and food-borne diseases.(spread through pathogens via food) [12]: 1107 Climate change affects the distribution of these diseases due to the ...
Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by a gram-negative bacterium called Burkholderia pseudomallei. [1] Most people exposed to B. pseudomallei experience no symptoms; however, those who do experience symptoms have signs and symptoms that range from mild, such as fever and skin changes, to severe with pneumonia, abscesses, and septic shock that could cause death.

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. [3]
Stagnant water can be contaminated with human and animal feces, particularly in deserts or other areas of low rainfall. [2] Water stagnation for as little as six days can completely change bacterial community composition and increase cell count. [3] Stagnant water may be classified into the following basic, although overlapping, types:
What we call listeria is a disease-causing bacteria known as listeria monocytogenes. The disease people develop after eating food contaminated with this bacteria is called listeriosis.
Legionella is a genus of gram-negative bacteria that can be seen using a silver stain or grown in a special media that contains cysteine, an amino acid.It is known to cause legionellosis [3] (all illnesses caused by Legionella) including a pneumonia-type illness called Legionnaires' disease and a mild flu-like illness called Pontiac fever. [3]
Pregnancy also causes the body to hold onto excess fluids and swell, says Badgett. Water retention may also be a symptom of hypothyroidism. Medications. Certain medications can cause or worsen ...
Water that has been contaminated by feces usually contains pathogenic bacteria, which can cause disease. Some types of coliforms cause disease, but the coliform index is primarily used to judge if other types of pathogenic bacteria are likely to be present in the water. The coliform index is used because it is difficult to test for pathogenic ...
