Question

All the following can be transmitted by recreational (i.e., swimming) water sources except:

1) amebic dysentery
2) cholera
3) giadiasis
4) hepatitis B
5) salmonellosis

Answer 1

Hepatitis B cannot be transmitted by recreational water sources.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic diseases. The virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. Hepatitis B is a major global health problem and the most serious type of viral hepatitis.

All the diseases mentioned in the answer options can be transmitted by recreational water sources except hepatitis B. While amebic dysentery, cholera, giardiasis, and salmonellosis can be transmitted through contaminated water, hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through blood and other bodily fluids. So, the correct answer is option 4) hepatitis B.
