School Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene to Reduce the Transmission of Schistosomes and Soil-Transmitted Helminths
Trends Parasitol.
2016 Sep.
Abstract
The life cycles of schistosomes and soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) suggest that water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) might reduce their transmission. However, the level of impact of WASH is likely to vary with the location (in school, at home, or elsewhere), the type of WASH, and the parasite in question.
