Parasitic diseases
As the name suggests, parasitic diseases are transmitted by parasites through contaminated water. Some of the most commonplace to affect humans include:
9. Cryptosporidiosis.
Caused by the cryptosporidium parasite, this global disease results in stomach cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting.
10. Galloping amoeba.
Affecting the stomach lining, galloping amoeba can take both cyst and non-cyst form, precipitating chills, fever and diarrhoea in the patient.
