Accepted Answer

Most infections caused by Vibrio cholerae are associated with ingestion of undercooked seafood, particularly shellfish like oysters and clams, that have been harvested from contaminated waters. Ingestion of contaminated water is another common source of infection. Arthropod bites, undercooked beef/pork, and swimming in ocean water are not typically associated with Vibrio cholerae infections.
