Which disease cannot be contracted by drinking contaminated water?

Malaria is transmitted primarily through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito, not through contaminated water. While malaria symptoms may include high fever and flu-like illness, it does not spread via water sources or consumption. In contrast, typhoid, hepatitis A, and cholera are all waterborne diseases, meaning they can be contracted by drinking water contaminated with the pathogens that cause these illnesses. Understanding the transmission methods of various diseases is crucial in water management and public health, highlighting the importance of ensuring safe drinking water to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases.
