<em>Ascaris lumbricoides</em> egg die-off in an experimental excreta storage system and public health implication in Vietnam (Publications)
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 [...] percentage of viable A. lumbricoides eggs decreased gradually from 76.72 +/- 11.23% (mean +/- SD) to 8.26 +/- 5.20%. The storage time and the high pH value significantly increased the die-off of helminth
