Moreover, ease of travel and change in human behavior has altered the use of water for recreational purposes. Users should be aware that recreational exposures to pathogens may result in disease. Susceptible populations including people with reduced immune function (e.g. resulting from disease (cancer, HIV) genetic susceptibility, age, etc.) or lack of immunity to locally endemic diseases (e.g. tourists) may be at higher risk of contracting illnesses. In most cases the primary disease symptoms associated with recreational water contact are acute, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. Although less frequently reported, more serious and potentially fatal disease is a risk to recreational users of water especially in certain susceptible populations. In addition to diseases which have severe primary outcomes (e.g. primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, typhoid, leptospirosis) a number of infections may lead to sequelae with serious consequences including renal disease (from E. coli O157:H7 for example) cardiac and nutritional disorders. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive review and analysis of potential severe disease outcomes, including acute effects and sequelae associated with recreational water activities. This book will be useful to all those concerned with recreational water quality, including environmental and public health professionals, local authorities, user groups, and tourists. Water Recreation and Disease sets out to identify the more severe waterborne diseases and their sequelae, which may be acquired while undertaking water-based recreation in marine, freshwater, spas/whirlpools and swimming pools. The review systematically brings information together on the ecology and health aspects of a variety of pathogens where cases attributed to recreational use of water have been documented. This is the only available guide to bring together information on the more severe waterborne diseases to assist decision-making in recreational water management." -- Provided by publisher. 410 0$aEmerging issues in water and infectious disease series. 606 $aMEDICAL$2bisac 606 $aInfectious Diseases$2bisac 606 $aWater Microbiology 606 $aRecreation 606 $aBacterial Infections 606 $aEnvironmental Microbiology 606 $aLeisure Activities 606 $aBacterial Infections and Mycoses 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aHuman Activities 606 $aDiseases 606 $aWaterborne infection 606 $aCommunicable diseases$xTransmission 606 $aAquatic sports 606 $aAnthropology, Education, Sociology and Social Phenomena 606 $aEnvironment and Public Health 606 $aBiology 606 $aBiological Science Disciplines 606 $aHealth Care 606 $aNatural Science Disciplines 606 $aDisciplines and Occupations 606 $aTransmission of Disease$2HILCC 606 $aPublic Health$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 615 7$aMEDICAL 615 7$aInfectious Diseases 615 2$aWater Microbiology 615 2$aRecreation 615 2$aBacterial Infections 615 2$aEnvironmental Microbiology 615 2$aLeisure Activities 615 2$aBacterial Infections and Mycoses 615 2$aMicrobiology 615 2$aPublic Health 615 2$aHuman Activities 615 2$aDiseases 615 0$aWaterborne infection. 615 0$aCommunicable diseases$xTransmission. 615 0$aAquatic sports. 615 2$aAnthropology, Education, Sociology and Social Phenomena 615 2$aEnvironment and Public Health 615 2$aBiology 615 2$aBiological Science Disciplines 615 2$aHealth Care 615 2$aNatural Science Disciplines 615 2$aDisciplines and Occupations 615 7$aTransmission of Disease 615 7$aPublic Health 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 700 $aPond$b Kathy$0963045 712 02$aWorld Health Organization 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bAzTeS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450429203321 996 $aWater Recreation and Disease$92256734 997 $aUNINA
