Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections caused 4.98 million years live with disability globally in 2014, mostly affecting the poor. When farmers handle excreta for reuse in agriculture, involuntary ingestion of excreta particles is an important infection pathway for STH infections. The aim of ...

We studied the health risks related to wastewater and excreta reuse in an agricultural community in northern Vietnam, with a focus on intestinal parasitic infections and diarrhoeal diseases. Several epidemiological studies were conducted to assess the relative importance of exposure to wastew...

Objectives We studied the influence of different additive materials (lime, and rice husk) and aeration conditions on Ascaris lumbricoides egg die-off in 24 vaults of an experimental excreta storage unit. Methods Excreta samples were collected once every two weeks over a 181-day period. Tempera...

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 ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most devastating infectious diseases worldwide. Whilst global burden estimates for M. tuberculosis infection (MtTB) are well established, accurate data on the contribution of zoonotic TB (zTB) caused by M. bovis or M. caprae to human TB are scarce. The association ...

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...

Human excreta are rich in plant nutrients, so many farmers in Vietnam use them to fertilize their crops and in raising fish. But they also contain dangerous pathogens: bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and the eggs of intestinal parasites. Exposure can pose a health risk to farmers, their families, as...
