When untreated wastewater and excreta are used for agricultural production, enteric pathogens may be a primary hazard to human health through different routes of exposure, as in direct contact with wastewater and excreta while doing field work. A quantitative microbial risk assessment was conduct...

Infection risks of diarrhoea associated with wastewater and excreta use in agriculture in Vietnam
Background: Due to their living environment, shellfish can be contaminated with
infectious agents such as Vibrio and Paragonimus which cause Vibrio infection and
paragonimiasis, two neglected tropical diseases. The symptoms of paragonimiasis and
tuberculosis (TB) are similar, differential diagnos...

Background: Paragonimiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by an infection with lung flukes that is transmitted through the consumption of undercooked crabs. The disease is often confused with tuberculosis. Paragonimiasis is thought to be endemic in south-western Côte d’Ivoire. Methods: Tw...

The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of Vibrio spp. transmission from crustaceans to humans in two coastal towns of Côte d'Ivoire. Bacteriologic analysis was performed on 322 crustacean samples obtained from six markets in Abidjan and one in Dabou. Suspected Vibrio colonies were ident...

The incidence of diarrhoea was monitored and the risk factors for diarrhoea were identified in the rural community of Hanam, Vietnam, over a period of one year. Compared to adults without direct contact to wastewater and excreta during their agricultural activities, those in direct contact had a ...

BACKGROUND: Despite the potential health risks of wastewater and excreta use as fertiliser in agriculture, it is still widespread in Vietnam. However, the importance of diarrheal risk in adults' associated with the combined exposures to both excreta and wastewater use in agriculture is largely un...

The consumption of shellfish contaminated with Vibrio spp. is a cause of serious food borne diseases
(FBD) and a concern in Abidjan where shellfish are mostly purchased on informal markets. This study
assessed the risk of exposure to Vibrio spp. via the consumption of shellfish in Abidjan using s...
