This paper reviewed aquatic ecosystem pollution with particular reference to pathogens in water, sediment and fish and their human health concerns. It highlighted the historical perspective of the relationship between microbes and humans regarding the "ranging war" between them, arising from the reckless exploitation of the biosphere by humans and the resultant "revolt" by microbes in the form of various pathogenic diseases that now plague mankind.
