~ Is there a source for this? All the reading I did referred to cholera and Bangladesh. I'm interested to learn about the use of cloth filters in Africa (where the guinea worm is).
Of course, an effective filter will remove any pathogen, more or less effectively, so I don't doubt that it's effective for guinea worms. --Singkong2005 12:56, 17 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
Briefly, a cloth filter will not remove 'all' parasites, for example it's ineffective against schistosomiasis which is a water-washed disease.
You're missing lot yes, I said the cloth filter won't prevent transmission of schistosomiasis but the truth is the cloth filter on its own won't prevent transmission of any pathogens at all. Do you know why this is the case?Moniz 01:26, 5 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry if this sounds off but I'm not having the best of days.Moniz 01:51, 5 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
In regards to proof that the clothe filter is effective against guinea worm, I will try and track down a source for you but I'm 100% sure that guinea worm is the only disease that can be prevented wholey from using a filter. Moniz 14:43, 17 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
Hello Singkong. As per your requests I will try and add to the article during the summer months. The area is familar to me only because I was fortunate enough to do a course of 'waste water and sanitation for developing countries'. I think I'd have done better in the exam if I had contributed to wikipedia during the term. :-) JHJPDJKDKHI! 11:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
