Answer 1

The waterborne pathogen not represented in the list is A)Coronavirus (COVID-19), as it is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets, not water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The waterborne pathogen that is not an example of a waterborne pathogen among the options given is

A) Coronavirus (COVID-19).

While COVID-19 is a significant infectious disease, it is primarily transmitted through the air via respiratory droplets and not typically associated with water transmission. On the other hand, bacterial enteropathogens, cholera, enteric protozoal parasites, and rotavirus and noroviruses are all examples of microorganisms that can be transmitted through contaminated water and cause gastrointestinal infections.
