Description The disease cholera, one of the most ancient of human afflictions, has been described in ancient texts more than 2,500 years old. Cholera (frequently called Asiatic cholera or epidemic cholera) is a severe diarrheal disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Transmission to humans is by water or food. The natural reservoir of the organism is not known. It was long assumed to be humans, but some evidence suggests that it is the aquatic environment.
The idea that the clinical manifestation of cholera is due to a toxin really has its root in the writing of John Snow, who provided convincing epidemiologic evidence for the
role of piped Thames River water in the transmission of cholera during the London epidemic.
