Cholera is a highly infectious disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The disease is known for causing severe diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, and even death. Due to its devastating effects, many synonyms have been used to refer to cholera throughout history. Some of the commonly known synonyms include Asiatic cholera, epidemic cholera, blue death, and Indian cholera. Other synonyms that have occasionally been used include Bengal cholera, spasmodic cholera, African cholera, and even "rice-water disease" due to the color and consistency of the patient's diarrhea. Regardless of the synonym used, cholera has been a significant threat to public health since its emergence in 1817 and continues to be a major problem globally.

How to use "Cholera" in context?
Cholera is a waterborne disease caused by the plasmodium cholerae infection. The disease is characterized by rapid onset of severe watery diarrhea, which may lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Vomiting and then abdominal cramps may follow. In some cases inflammation of the small and large intestines, called colitis, also occurs. Cholera is a highly contagious disease and can be spread through ingestion of contaminated water or food. Unfortunately, cholera is also highly preventable with proper sanitation and hygiene.
