| | ASNOM - Amoebiasis |
 | | Amoebiasis is a parasitic disease that affects humans alone and which, especially in its most typical form, is a dysentery. |
 | | In 1947, near Saigon, the occurrence of Amoebiasis in the population is reduced from 15 % to 0.005 % by generalizing the use of a controlled water supply, the washing of salads in water containing potassium permanganate and the regular scrubbing and cleaning of the cook's hands (Blanc*). |
 | | The fundamental measures to be undertaken for the prophylaxis of diseases of faecal origin, particularly Amoebiasis, are, on the one hand, the neutralization of human excreta and the construction of a sufficient number of latrines for the community or individuals; on the other hand, a good supply of flowing and drinking water for the community. |
