WELL Factsheet: Excreta flies and trachoma

This factsheet presents evidence on the relationship between the common eye-seeking fly musca sorbens, the eye disease trachoma and the role that environmental health factors (including habitat, climate and sanitation) play in its transmission

Produced by WEDC and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for the Department of International Development (DFID) of the UK government (now the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)), this archive collection of WELL factsheets remains relevant. It covers topics ranging from the anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater through to water quality and safety plans.
