Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION A.] BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Waterborne diseases are defined as one of the most dangerous diseases that can be found on flowing water. These diseases are very harmful not only to our digestive system but also to all of the parts of our body. These diseases can kill many people that are drinking water on the tap water and mostly on the drinking fountain; people might drink on a drinking fountain which is dirty because of the different people that are drinking and spiting

MICROBIOLOGY SECTION The microbiology section aims at studying yu ailments and diseases from the isolation of suspected causative organisms. The processes involved in the isolation of these organisms include; culturing‚ staining‚ microscopy and sensitivity tests. Samples collected for examination include; stool‚ blood‚ sputum‚ urine‚ vaginal swab‚ wound swab and wound biopsy. Bacterial Culturing and sensitivity Cultures are carried out to isolate suspected organisms from a sample. There are different

Disease-causing agents‚ also known as pathogens‚ are viruses or bacteria that enter the body and cause an array of symptoms. Giardia lamblia‚ for example‚ derives from human feces and causes a parasitic disease known as Giardiasis. Although it is a global disease‚ it is most common in developing countries where “nearly 33% of people [in these regions] have had [Giardiasis]” (Parasites - Giardia). These countries possess inadequate sewage treatment‚ water scarcity‚ and overpopulation‚ which all contribute to
