Hello All

What to do about animal faeces?

Does it pose a risk to public health of humans? Should i be addressing this in my sanitation program? (often from programs that have reached Human ODF). What are the transmission routes? Is it sufficient to restrict animal faeces to a particular area or do i need to keep flies away etc. etc.

People often ask me this question - and i'm embarrassed not to have a clear answer. When i try and find out more i end up in complicated academic journal territory.

Does anyone know of a simple document that explains these issues? - for me to educate myself and to share with others.

many thanks
