Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It is primarily transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food and water, leading to rapid and severe dehydration. Cholera has been a major public health concern, particularly in regions with inadequate sanitation and limited access to clean drinking water. This abstract provides an overview of cholera, including its epidemiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention strategies. Additionally, it highlights the importance of global efforts in improving sanitation infrastructure, promoting hygiene practices, and developing effective vaccines to control and eradicate cholera.
