Can be prevented through safe drinking water and adequate sanitation and hygiene. * more of a problem in low-income countries. * children effected immune systems not fully developed or malnutrition. Interactions that affect waterborne disease: new environments, technologies, scientific advances, changes in human behaviour and vulnerability, pathogenic organism adaptability. Allows for us to see the trends in data. Why examine microorganisms: universe (13 x 10^28) number of humans that have ever lived. 100 million times as many bacteria in the ocean as there are stars in the. A gram of dental plaque contains roughly 10 x 10^11 bacteria the same. Number of species 120, 000 to greater than tens of millions.
