-Control of this parasite should be directed against reducing the level of
-environmental contamination. Treatment of heavily infected individuals is one
-way to reduce the source of contamination (one study has estimated that 60% of
-the total worm burden resides in less than 10% of the population). Other
-obvious methods are to improve access to [[sanitation]], e.g. [[toilets]], but also
-convincing people to maintaining them in a clean, functional state, thereby making
-them conducive to use.
