Diseases from Water

The most inventive, original, and rigorous research in the field can be published in Environmental Microbiology, a highly regarded journal. The journal additionally publishes concise reports, mini reviews, opinion pieces, articles, letters to the editor, and highlights. The Journal's coverage of microbial processes in the environment, microbial communities, interactions, and evolution spans a wide range of current research. The magazine not only aids academics and researchers in environmental microbiology, but Furthermore draws professionals and activists who work closely with grassroots groups. With the primary objective of promoting sustainable environmental conservation and preservation practises, the journal continues to publish the most recent research on subjects like eco-technology, waste water treatment, fresh water microbiology, marine microbiology, estuarine microbiology, and biodegradation. The peer review process used by the Journal of Environmental Microbiology is double-blind, meaning that neither the authors nor the reviewers are aware of one another's identities. Each paper in the issue has been reviewed by at least one outsider in order to validate the academic, scholarly, and scientific community's work. With assistance from the editorial office's preliminary review, members of the journal's editorial board process reviews for publication. Pathogens Typically, pathogenic microbes come from an affected host (which could be an animal or a human) or directly from the environment. Only direct or close contact with an infected person or animal can result in the transmission of many human infections. Herpesvirus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhoea), and Treponema pallidum are a few examples (syphilis). This is due to how little time they spend outside of the host before dying. Depending on the organism and the environment, pathogens that are spread through the environment can survive for a few hours to many years outside the host. Pathogens can leave a host in respiratory secretions from the mouth and nose, on dead skin, in feces, urine, saliva, or tears, or they can be shed on dead skin. Waterborne diseases Are those that are spread by drinking contaminated water, which acts as the infectious agent's passive carrier. Cholera and typhoid fever, two common waterborne diseases that repeatedly devastated densely populated places throughout human history, have been successfully contained by safeguarding water sources and treating tainted water supplies. In fact, the prevention of these well-known illnesses demonstrated the value of treating the water supply and contributed significantly to the decline in infectious diseases. Contaminated water may also spread other illnesses brought on by bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths. It's crucial to keep in mind that humans and animals can contract waterborne diseases from each other through the fecal-oral route, making drinking water only one of many potential sources of infection. Water-washed diseases Are those that are closely associated with poor sanitation and hygiene. The availability of enough water in this situation is typically regarded as being more crucial than the water's quality. Lack of water for washing and bathing contributes to diarrheal illnesses, a leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity in developing nations, as well as diseases of the eye and skin, such as infectious conjunctivitis and trachoma. Diarrheal diseases can be spread directly from person to person or indirectly through contact with contaminated food and utensils that have been handled by people who have faeces on their hands. Diarrheal infections can be spread directly from person to person or indirectly through contact with contaminated food and utensils that have been handled by people who have faeces on their hands. Both the prevalence of enteric pathogens like Shigella and the incidence of diarrheal disorders have been demonstrated to decline when there is enough water for hand washing. Water-based diseases Are brought on by pathogens that either live entirely (or nearly all of the time) in water or require aquatic organisms to complete their life cycles. Examples of such organisms include the bacterium Legionella and the parasitic helminth Schistosoma, which respectively cause the diseases schistosomiasis and legionnaires' disease. Water-related diseases Insects that breed in water (for example, mosquitoes that carry malaria) or live near water are responsible for transmitting diseases like yellow fever, dengue, filariasis, malaria, onchocerciasis, and sleeping sickness. These insects are referred to as "vectors." MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION: Before going through the external peer review process, the editorial office processes each submission for an initial quality control check. The majority of preliminary quality control, which usually lasts seven days, is concerned with English, journal scope, and journal layout.
