What is Cholera

According to wikipedia, Cholera, known as Asiatic or epidemic cholera (somtimes), is an infectious gastroenteritis caused by enterotoxin-producing strains of the bacterium Vibrio cholerae.[1][2] Transmission to humans occurs through eating food or drinking water contaminated with Vibrio cholerae from other cholera patients. The major reservoir for cholera was long assumed to be humans themselves, but considerable evidence exists that aquatic environments can serve as reservoirs of the bacteria. Bla.. bla.. bla...

In brief, Cholera is stomach virus that will cause fatal illness or even death. Possible transmission through eating food or drinking water that contaminated with Vibrio cholera. It's not really related with the H1N1 virus, but is another serious health issue lately in Malaysia.
