Abstract
[Extract] Greaves and colleagues provide a valuable overview of the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and current approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of Strongyloides stercoralis infection 1. Inexplicably they do not mention the measures needed to interrupt the transmission cycle by ensuring that faeces are disposed of safely. Possibly this is the result of embarrassment at our tardy global progress towards meeting the sanitation component of millennium development goal number 7.
