The table below shows the number of reported cases of cholera in two neighbouring villages over a one-year period. Village A implemented a programme that included providing treated drinking water and a public health education campaign about handwashing and safe food handling. Village B had no such interventions and relied on untreated river water.
| Village | Population | Number of cholera cases |
|---|---|---|
| A | 5000 | 12 |
| B | 5200 | 89 |
Using the data in the table, explain how biological, social and economic factors should be considered in the prevention and control of cholera.
