Health risks of raw sewage with particular reference to Ascaris in the discharge zone of El Jadida (Morocco)

Prevalence and risk factors associated with worm infestation in pre-school children (6-23 months) in selected blocks of Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, India

“…The hand pumps should be dug deeper and far away from the sewage tank to prevent their shallow depth from transmitting pathogenic contamination. [21] Also, earlier studies on controlling helminth infections have suggested that single dose albendazole is a simple, sustainable and cost effective strategy if delivered through the nationwide Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) program. [22] Such community based programs need to be strengthened.…”

Concentration of soil-transmitted helminth eggs in sludge from South Africa and Senegal: A probabilistic estimation of infection risks associated with agricultural application

“…The concentration of STH eggs found in this study is similar to concentrations in Mexico ( Pecson et al., 2007 ) and Ghana ( Koné et al., 2007 ). In other studies lower concentrations have been found, e.g in France ( Gantzer et al., 2001 ), Brazil ( Bastos et al., 2013 ) and Morocco ( Moubarrad and Assobhei, 2007 ).…”

Health Effects Associated with Wastewater Treatment, Reuse, and Disposal

“…found that in a South Indian population, the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection was higher in low socioeconomic status individuals living in overcrowded conditions whose source of drinking water had a low clean water index. Ascaris) were detected in the sewer and in the coastal areas near the discharge points(Moubarrad and Assobhei, 2007). It was found that a high risk of ascariasis (17%) was attributed to the untreated wastewater discharge and that, in particular, boys between the ages of seven and ten were found to be the most vulnerable to ascariasis exposure Jombo et al (2007).…”
