Cholera is still a danger in Nigeria The Punch Published 14 July 2021 Thousands of cases of cholera have been reported in Nigeria between January and June 2021. The northern states of Bauchi, Gombe, Kano, Plateau and Zamfara are among those affected. Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae bacteria. It is passed on from faeces through contaminated food, drinks and unhygienic environments, and causes severe dehydration. Infected people can die if their illness is not quickly managed with oral rehydration. In the past, cholera infections were common in many countries around the globe. Now, they are mostly confined to developing regions because the disease is associated with poor nutrition, poor water quality and poor sanitation.
