Question

Which of the following is not a water borne disease?

• A. Asthma
• B. Cholera
• C. Amoebiasis
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Asthma

Cholera is the infection of the small intestine by some strains of the bacteria Vibrio cholerae. The bacteria are transmitted between humans through fecal-oral route, a bite of contaminated food or a sip of contaminated water.
Amoebiasis is an infection caused by the amoebas of the Entamoeba group. Amoebiasis can be transmitted by ingestion of water contaminated with feces containing amoebic cysts.
Asthma, however, cannot be transmitted from person to person.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
