Scientists have long known that the bacteria that cause cholera live in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with tiny aquatic organisms called plankton. Researchers from the US National Science Foundation decided to test the theory that filtering plankton out of drinking water would also remove the cholera bacteria. They found that an old sari cloth, folded at least four times, was as successful as specially designed nylon filters at removing plankton from water.

Cholera Epidemic in U.S. Courtesy of EPA "Science" Barbara E. Mahon, Eric Mintz, Katherine Greene, Joy G. Wells, and Robert V. Tauxe JAMA In 1991, an epidemic of cholera started in Peru and spread to the rest of Latin American. This epidemic reached the U.S. in 1992 via an outbreak among 75 commercial airline passengers from Peru. This epidemic is reported to have caused as many as 1 million cases of cholera and as many as 10,000 deaths. Although the epidemic was reportedly started by a ship which dumped its bilge within reach of Peruvian waters, the epidemic's spread has been credited in part to the Peruvian government's decision to stop chlorinating drinking water supplies. Why would the Peruvian government decide to forego such a basic public health measure as drinking water chlorination? (After all, chlorination has been used in the U.S. since 1908 and is generally considered as one of the greatest public health measures of all time!) As first reported by the British journal Nature (November 28, 1991), the Peruvian government made the unfortunate, and ultimately fatal, mistake of ceasing chlorination based on EPA studies from the 1970s that associated drinking water chlorinated to 100 parts per billion with an increase in cancer risk for individuals on the order of 1 in 10,000. It was not until 1992 that EPA's Science Advisory Board and EPA staff finally acknowledged that the link between chlorinated drinking water and cancer was not scientifically supportable.

POINT OF CONTACT FOR THIS DOCUMENT: Cholera Prevention In January 1991, epidemic cholera appeared in South America and quickly spread to several countries. A few cases have occurred in the United States among persons who traveled to South America or ate contaminated food brought back by travelers. Cholera has been very rare in industrialized nations for the last 100 years; however, the disease is still common today in other parts of the world, including the Indian subcontinent and sub-Saharan Africa. Although cholera can be life-threatening, it is easily prevented and treated. In the United States, because of advanced water and sanitation systems, cholera is not a major threat; however, everyone, especially travelers, should be aware of how the disease is transmitted and what can be done to prevent it.

Since 1961, cholera caused by the El Tor biotype has been epidemic throughout much of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa and in certain parts of Europe. Infection is acquired primarily by consuming contaminated water or food; person-to-person transmission is rare. Travelers who follow the usual tourist itinerary and who use standard accommodations in countries affected by cholera are at virtually no risk of infection. CHOLERA VACCINE Cholera vaccines *, whether prepared from Classic or El Tor strains, are of limited usefulness. In field trials conducted in areas with endemic cholera, vaccines have been only about 50% effective in reducing the incidence of clinical illness for 3-6 months. They do not prevent transmission of infection. Therefore, the Public Health Service no longer requires cholera vaccination for travelers coming to the United States from cholera-infected areas, and the World Health Organization (WHO) no longer recommends cholera vaccination for travel to or from cholera-infected areas. Surveillance and treatment are sufficient to prevent spread of the disease if it were introduced into the United States.

Tell me when this page is updated Gabriel Garcia Marquez Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez Book review by Robert Couteau Published in: Arete Magazine Dec. 1988. (San Diego, CA: Alden Mills.) Robert Couteau Love in the Time of Cholera Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Knopf) As its title implies, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s widely acclaimed Love in the Time of Cholera is a creative amalgam of two starkly contrasting elements: the sacredness of love and love’s embodiment in often horrific, everyday experience. Ultimately, the transcendental power of spiritual love emerges as the beautifully rendered theme of this evocative, paradoxical masterwork. Marquez has always displayed great fortitude in his willingness to experiment and expand his stylistic repertoire. While Love in the Time of Cholera has formal similarities to his two other great fictional works - One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Autumn of the Patriarch - it avoids an exclusive reliance on either the stunning hallucinatory quality of the former or the lush density of the latter. Instead, maintaining an almost folktale quality grounded with the feel of everyday gossip, it incorporates images of love that hover midway between otherworldly beauty and netherworld terror.

The bacteria, which are found in fecal-contaminated food and water and in raw or undercooked seafood, produce a toxin that affects the intestines causing diarrhea, vomiting, and severe fluid and electrolyte loss. This overwhelming dehydration is the outstanding characteristic of the disease and is the main cause of death. Cholera has a short incubation period (two or three days) and runs a quick course. In untreated cases the death rate is high, averaging 50%, and as high as 90% in epidemics, but with effective treatment the death rate is less than 1%. The intravenous and oral replacement of body fluids and essential electrolytes and the restoration of kidney function are more important in therapy than the administration of antibacterial drugs. In regions of Asia, Africa, and South America where public sanitation is poor the disease is still endemic or epidemic; vaccination is recommended for people living in those areas. A theory of evolutionary biologists holds that the

AND OR AND OR TRAVEL ADVISORY - CHOLERA IN SOUTH AFRICA 10 December 2001 With the media reports of the number of cholera cases in Kwa-Zulu-Natal increasing, Netcare Travel Clinics have been inundated with calls regarding the risks to travellers in the province. These calls have originated from both would-be holidaymakers and tour operators. In general, the risk of the average tourist contracting cholera is extremely small. Cholera is a disease of the underprivileged denied clean water and proper sewerage, typically residents of squatter camps or rural areas. Accordingly, travellers within South Africa's borders are advised as follows: Cholera is not transmitted from person to person- infection occurs with the ingestion of faecally contaminated food and water. Cholera has affected limited areas in Kwa-Zulu-Natal, and the average tourist will not be exposed to the bacterium at all. Observe good food and water hygiene while travelling in the affected areas, and your risk of contracting cholera is negligible. Rivers, lakes and dams in affected areas should be regarded as potentially contaminated by bacteria. They pose no risk to visitors unless direct contact is made with the water. In Kwa-Zulu-Natal, do not swim in any water other than chlorinated swimming pool water, or clear seawater.

Linking Environment and Health Cholera Returns In 1991, a cholera epidemic swept down the west coast of South America the first such outbreak in nearly a century in the New World. Between 1991 and 1995, a disease long thought to have been vanquished in the Americas had infected more than 1 million people and killed 11,000 (1). Africa experienced a similar cholera surge in 1991, with the number of cases rising fourfold in a single year (from 38,683 in 1990 to 153,367 in 1991) and deaths mounting to 14,000 (2)(3). Three years later, the cholera epidemic hit Russia and cholera cases jumped from just 23 the year before to 1,048 (4)(5). Why has cholera reemerged as a global health threat, after virtually disappearing from the Americas and most of Africa and Europe for more than a century? (6) The answer may lie in how changing environmental conditions from both natural and human causes can affect the spread of an infectious disease. Cholera is generally spread by contact with water or food contaminated with human waste containing cholera bacteria. That is why the disease has long been associated with the unsanitary conditions often found in urban slums, or in connection with war, natural disasters, and other dislocations. But cholera also has a traditional link with the sea. In nature, the cholera organism ( Vibrio cholerae ) thrives best in moderately salty waters such as coastal estuaries, though it can also tolerate the open ocean. It generally only inhabits rivers and other freshwater sources if nutrient levels from organic pollution such as human feces are quite high (7).

Cholera Cholera is an intestinal infection caused by a bacterium known as Vibrio cholerae. Cholera is acquired through ingestion of contaminated food or water. It is rarely spread from person-to-person. The incubation period ranges from less than one to five days. In most cases, infection with Vibrio cholerae causes either no symptoms or mild diarrhea. Some, however, develop profuse watery diarrhea, usually with vomiting, leading to profound dehydration, which may be fatal. The cornerstone of treatment is rehydration, usually with oral rehydration solution. Severe cases may require intravenous fluids. Antibiotics are also given, usually tetracycline or doxycycline, though quinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin are also effective. Cholera is rare in travelers, including those visiting countries where cholera outbreaks are occurring. In previous years, cholera vaccination was required for entry into many countries, but is no longer required of any traveler . As of August 2000, the only cholera vaccine approved for use in the United States was no longer being manufactured or sold. (See the

New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Bureau of Communicable Disease Cholera What is cholera? Cholera, an acute bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract, is caused by Vibrio cholerae . Although only a few cases are recognized in the United States each year, epidemic levels of cholera have recently been reported in parts of Central and South America and Africa. In 2001, one case of cholera was reported in a New York City resident. Who gets cholera? While cholera is rare in the United States, travelers to foreign countries where outbreaks are occurring may be at risk for infection. People who consume raw or undercooked seafood from warm coastal waters subject to sewage contamination may also be at risk. How is cholera spread? Cholera is spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated by the fecal waste of an infected person. This occurs more often in developing countries with inadequate water supplies and improper sewage disposal. What are the symptoms of cholera? People with cholera may experience mild to severe watery diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. Fever is usually absent. Approximately five percent of those who become infected will have severe disease characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps. Without treatment, the disease can be fatal.

CHOLERA The Disease: - An infection of the small intestine caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholera. Cholera is an acute illness characterised by watery diarrhoea. The toxin released by the bacteria can produce massive diarrhoea. Death can result from the severe dehydration brought on by the diarrhoea. Cholera occurs in epidemics when conditions of poor sanitation, crowding, war, and famine are present. Endemic areas include India, Asia, Africa, the Mediterranean, and more recently, South and Central America, Mexico, and the U.S.. The infection is acquired by ingesting contaminated food or water. A type of vibrio also has been associated with shellfish, especially raw oysters. Risk: The risk of contracting Cholera is estimated at only 1 in 100,000 travellers. Indications for current vaccination: Travellers to highly endemic areas who do not have ready access to medical attention and in those with impaired gastric defences. Two new oral vaccines (likely to be available in Australia in 2000) The WC/rBS vaccine (inactivated vaccine) and provides 85% efficacy, with 72% protection at 3 years in those over 5 years. 2 doses 1 - 2 weeks apart.
