SIMPLE WATER FILTRATION FOR CHOLERA INTERVENTION

该项目的长期目标是防止或试图 减少霍乱的发病率，因为人们必须依靠自然 地下水，特别是在异常情况下，如在 洪灾或自然灾害后的情况。简单的过滤 在实验室开发和优化的方法将在 这一领域证明了减少V。 孟加拉，MatLab，家庭饮用水中的霍乱弧菌细胞。纱丽布， 孟加拉大多数农村妇女佩戴的滤光器 并将用于去除与霍乱弧菌相关的浮游生物和 存在于地表水中的颗粒。这款设备预计将成为 最方便的村民没有经济、社会和文化 障碍物。

The long term objective of this project is to prevent or attempt to reduce the incidence of cholera where people must depend on natural ground water especially under the abnormal circumstances such as after flooding or post natural disaster situations. A simple filtration method developed and optimized in the laboratory will be evaluated in the field to demonstrate the effciacy in reducing the number of V. cholerae cells in household water in Matlab, Bangladesh. Sari cloth, worn by most women in the villages in Bangladesh was used as a filter and will be to used to remove V. cholerae associated plankton and particles present in surface water. This device is expected to be the most convenient for the villagers without economic, social and cultural impediments.
