\nJaundice, when caused by Hepatitis A or Hepatitis E, is a symptom related to waterborne transmission.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Waterborne diseases are caused by pathogens transmitted through contaminated water.
\n– Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E viruses, which cause liver inflammation leading to jaundice (yellowing of skin\/eyes), are typically spread through the faecal-oral route, often via contaminated water or food.
\n– Tuberculosis is airborne.
\n– Rabies is spread through animal bites.
\n– Arthritis is joint inflammation with various causes, not typically infectious or waterborne.
\n<\/section>\n
