Water

This document compares two infectious microbes, Vibrio cholera bacteria which causes cholera, and Poliovirus which causes polio. Both microbes can be transmitted through contaminated water supplies, with cholera bacteria spreading through sewage-contaminated water and poliovirus spreading through dirty water used for drinking, especially in developing countries. The diseases have different symptoms, with cholera causing stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and polio potentially causing fever, headache, and paralysis.
