Cholera: WHO confirms global resurgence, records 1,900 deaths

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced a resurgence of cholera cases across countries in Africa, East Asia, America, Europe, and the Eastern Mediterranean region.

Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness caused by intestine infection with the bacterium “vibrio cholerae”. The disease is highly infectious and primarily spread through contaminated water and food.

This was contained in a bulletin issued by the organisation recently.
