Wastewater-based epidemiological study on helminth egg detection in untreated sewage sludge from Brazilian regions with unequal income
Our results demonstrate that helminth egg diversity and concentration in sewage sludge are closely related to the socioeconomic characteristics of the served population. These findings may inform prevention and control strategies in vulnerable areas and support the development of public health and sanitation policies that address social and environmental inequalities in Brazil's Central-Western region.
