TRANSCRIPT
• Human stool sample
collection
• Domestic animal stool
sample collection
• Questionnaires
• Multi-sectorial
brain-storming
Challenges
⦿We successfully employed One Health approach to assess risk factors of intestinal parasite infection in
endemic area at the Thai-Myanmar border.
⦿We mediated multi-sectorial collaboration and constituted a policy brief to notify Ministry of Interior and Ministry
of Public Health for further strategic planning for reducing disease burden.
• Intestinal parasites are
prevalent in low socio-
economic tropical regions,
especially among immigrant
and refugee communities.
• At Thai-Myanmar border, Tha
Song Yang district, Tak
Province, has one of the
highest intestinal parasites
prevalence in Thailand.

High source of transmission

3. Problem solving strategies
• Infective forms of parasites were found in
water sources. • Most villagers use/consume untreated water, thus
increasing risk of infection.
• Infective forms of parasites were found in domestic animal stool samples.
• Domestic animals were living closely together with human.
• Domestic animal waste was poorly handled.
• Organize training for health volunteers for active case finding and reporting by community participation.
• Organize training for laboratory technicians to accurately diagnose intestinal parasites by simple microscopic techniques.
• Facilitating and mediating multi-sectorial discussion and collaboration for target-specific problem solving solutions.
• Active disease surveillance. • Coordinating with local authorities to
design strategic planning for disease prevention and control.
• Assisting community in improving water system and domestic animal waste management.
• Dissemination of knowledge in prevention and control of food water borne diseases from Health volunteers to villagers/community.
• Encouraging community participation in active case finding and reporting.
