Development, field-testing and optimization of tools to quantify soil-transmitted helminths in fecal sludge from school pit latrines in Ethiopia

2026-02-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Surveys to monitor large-scale deworming programs against soil-transmitted helminthiases (STH) involve examination of stool samples from schoolchildren. These surveys are resource demanding and impact school activities. A potentially cost-saving alternative that does not involve children is to process fecal sludge samples from school pit latrines. To provide a proof-of-principle of latrine-bas...
