Assessment of Environmental Contamination With Soil‐Transmitted Helminth Eggs From Human and Animal Faeces in Southern Côte d′Ivoire: A Rapid Approach for Identifying High‐Risk Communities

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil‐transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a major public health problem in low‐ and middle‐income regions, including the humid and lagoon areas in Côte d′Ivoire, where sanitation facilities are limited at the community level. Few studies have investigated the relationship between environmental (soil and water) contamination by STH eggs and ...
