Cholera:            
Cholera is a bacterial infection found in food or water sources contaminated with feces. Over 600 million people throughout the globe are at risk of contracting cholera.  Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with Vibrio cholerae bacteria. People can get sick when they swallow food or water contaminated with cholera bacteria. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but can sometimes be severe and life-threatening.

Diphtheria:  
Diphtheria is an acute, highly contagious bacterial disease causing inflammation of the mucous membranes, formation of a false membrane in the throat that hinders breathing and swallowing, and potentially fatal heart and nerve damage by a bacterial toxin in the blood. It is now rare in developed countries because of immunization.

Japanese Encephalities: 
An infection found in Asia and the west Pacific that can cause brain swelling.  Japanese encephalitis is a virus spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes. It’s more common in rural and agricultural areas.  Most cases are mild. Rarely, it causes serious brain swelling with a sudden headache, high fever, and disorientation.
Treatment involves supportive care. A vaccine is available.

Hepatitis A:
A highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus.  Hepatitis A is preventable by vaccine. It spreads from contaminated food or water, or contact with someone who is infected.  Symptoms include fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and low-grade fever.  The condition clears up on its own in one or two months. Rest and adequate hydration can help.

Hepatitis B:    
Hepatitis B is a vaccine-preventable liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis B is spread when blood, semen, or other body fluids from a person infected with the virus enters the body of someone who is not infected.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV):
An infection that causes warts in various parts of the body, depending on the strain.  Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI).  Many people with HPV don’t develop any symptoms but can still infect others through sexual contact. Symptoms may include warts on the genitals or surrounding skin.  There’s no cure for the virus and warts may go away on their own. Treatment focuses on removing the warts. A vaccine that prevents the HPV strains most likely to cause genital warts and cervical cancer is recommended for boys and girls.

Influenza:            
A common viral infection that can be deadly, especially in high-risk groups.  The flu attacks the lungs, nose, and throat. Young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with chronic disease or weak immune systems are at high risk.
Symptoms include fever, chills, muscle aches, cough, congestion, runny nose, headaches, and fatigue.

The flu is treated primarily with rest and fluid to let the body fight the infection on its own. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory pain relievers may help with symptoms. An annual vaccine can help prevent the flu and limit its complications.
