Pathogens in Aquatic-Related Environments

Pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganisms have repeatedly altered the course of human history. From the earliest examples of art, literature and scientific writing, the devastating consequences for the populations gripped by diseases of different kinds and severity have been documented in detail. Human development and population growth exert many and diverse pressures on the quality and quantity of water resources and on access to them. Now here are the pressures felt so strongly as at the interface of water and human health Infectious, water-related diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although a significant proportion of this immense burden of diseases caused by ‘classical’ water-related pathogens, such as typhoid and cholera, newly recognized pathogens and new strains of established pathogens are being discovered that present important additional challenges to both the water and public health sectors. Between 1972 and 1999, 35 new agents of disease were discovered and many more have re-emerged after long periods of inactivity, or are expanding into areas where they have not previously been reported. Amongst this group are pathogens that may be transmitted by water.
