English term

sickness in water

English to Latin Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Famous word SPA in the context of wellness comes from Latin "Sanus per Aquam" or health through water.

For a text about legionella bacteria, we need the opposite meaning: "sickness through water" or "contagion in water", but in Latin.

Thank you very much for your help,

Morbus per aquam

A fancier way of saying it would be 'aegritudo per aquam'.

'Per' is used in these phrases rather than 'in' (+ abl.) as being indicative of the means by which the sickness concerned originates.
