Additional sources of information Victorian statutory requirement Cholera (Group A disease) must be notified immediately by telephone or fax followed by written notification within five days. Cholera is subject to Australian quarantine. Infectious agent Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 or O139 cause cholera. Note Most non-O1/O139 strains do not secrete enterotoxin but can cause sporadic disease. The term non-Vibrio cholera (NVC) refers to cases of cholera-like illness caused by organisms other than the 01 or 0139 Vibrio species. These infections are not notifiable. Identification Clinical features In severe cases disease is characterised by a sudden onset of symptoms with profuse painless watery (rice water) stools, occasional vomiting, rapid dehydration, acidosis and circulatory collapse. In untreated cases, death may occur in a few hours and the case fatality rate may exceed 50%. Method of diagnosis Incubation period The incubation period is from a few hours to five days. It is usually two to three days.

AVIAN CHOLERA Cause Bacteria Pasteurella multocida Host Most species of birds and mammals can become infected with different strains of this bacteria, however, avian cholera in wild birds is primarily caused by one strain, Type 1. The species of birds most commonly affected are ducks and geese, coots, gulls, and crows. Transmission The bacteria can be transmitted by bird-to-bird contact, contact with secretions or feces of infected birds, or ingestion of food or water containing the bacteria. Aerosol tranmission may also occur. The bacteria may survive up to 4 months in soil and water. Clinical Signs/Field Signs Large die-offs are seen primarily in wild ducks and geese where the disease affects birds peracutely. The sudden appearance of large numbers of dead birds in good body condition with few if any sick birds is observed. Death may be so rapid that birds literally fall out of the sky or die while eating with no previous signs of disease. Sick birds appear lethargic, and when captured may die within minutes. Other signs include convulsions; swimming in circles; throwing the head back between the wings; erratic flight, such as flying upside down or trying to land a foot or more above the water; mucous discharge from the mouth; soiling or matting of the feathers around the vent, eyes, and bill; pasty, fawn-colored or yellow droppings; or blood-stained droppings or nasal discharge.

[Text-only Version] Biologists from the USGS, in collaboration with other resource agencies, have been working to untangle the ecological complexities of an infectious bacterial disease called Avian Cholera . Integrated studies on waterfowl and wetland ecosystems have been investigating how avian cholera is maintained and spread across the country. Results implicate birds as the most likely reservoir for perpetuating this deadly disease. Avian cholera is one of the most common diseases among wild North American waterfowl. It is the result of infection with the bacterium Pasteurella multocida . This bacterium kills swiftly, sometimes in as few as six to twelve hours after infection. Live bacteria released into the environment by dead and dying birds can subsequently infect healthy birds. As a result, avian cholera can spread quickly through a wetland and kill thousands of birds in a single outbreak. Biologists from NWHC looked for living bacteria in water of affected wetlands throughout the U.S. In many cases, they were able to isolate bacteria in samples taken during disease outbreaks. In contrast, samples collected 1-3 months following winter or spring outbreaks or in the subsequent fall did not contain

Cholera is a bacterial disease (vibrio cholerae) that causes diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. A person can get Cholera by d rinking contaminated water or eating contaminated food. During an epidemic, the contamination usually comes from human feces. Since cholera causes severe dehydration, complete rehydration is the only treatment. If treated this way, less than 1% of patients die. A prepackaged mixture of sugars and salts is mixed with water and drunk in large amounts to rehydrate the victim. Traveler Tips Travelers can get cholera info by calling the World Health Organization's hotline at 404-332-4559 When traveling to poorer countries, do NOT: -Eat raw seafood. -Drink unpurified water (creeks, rivers, ponds). -Buy food and beverages from street vendors. -Eat fruit peeled buy someone else. Two physicians bundling up a cholera patient Currently there are epidemics in Latin America and Africa, with no signs of the end so far. During the 1800's, cholera raged through the United States. Cholera is usually found in unsanitary areas of developing countries. Because cholera is such a problem, travelers to other countries need to take special precautions.

The Cholera Epidemic of 1832 Edited by Srtephen R. Powell For more on the Cholera Epidemic click here to read the diaries of George Washington Jonson who lived through the outbreak of 1834. The dreaded Asiatic cholera had been spreading over Europe in 1831, and while desperate efforts were made to keep it out of America, it was found to be in Quebec in the spring of 1832, having been carried it is thought by emigrants from Ireland. The scourge passed up the St. Lawrence, and by the time it reached Buffalo, the residents were so very apprehensive that it found receptive material, and the state in the young city soon became very serious. "It may be said that at the first visitation of the pestilence one-half of its victims were carried off by fear and fright," wrote Samuel M. Welch. Further, he said: "Buffalo was severely afflicted by this visitation. The treatment of the disease was mostly experimental, its nature not being understood; indeed the epidemic at times seemed to have full sway, without check. A man might be in apparent good health in the morning and in his grave the same night. Often people were taken away for burial in the night of the day of their death. "The death carts would patrol the streets, and when there would seem an indication of a death in a house, the driver would shout: 'Bring out your dead!' Bodies were not permitted to remain unburied over an hour or two, if it were possible to obtain carriers, or a sexton to bury them."

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.
