Why is cholera outbreaks more consistent with contaminated of water than air?

Cholera is primarily transmitted through contaminated water sources, as the bacterium Vibrio cholerae is ingested via contaminated drinking water or food. Unlike airborne diseases, which spread through respiratory droplets, cholera requires a direct route into the digestive system, making water the primary vehicle for transmission. Additionally, outbreaks often occur in areas with poor sanitation and inadequate water treatment, further highlighting the role of contaminated water in cholera spread.
