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
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 ...

Estimation of involuntary excreta ingestion rates in farmers during agricultural practices in Vietnam
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...

Health risks associated with the use of wastewater and excreta in agriculture in northern Vietnam
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...

A One Health perspective for integrated human and animal sanitation and nutrient recycling
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...
