TL;DR: There is a pressing need for adequately powered cluster randomized trials comparing schistosome infection risk with access to safe water and adequate sanitation, more studies which rigorously define water and sanitation, and new research on the relationships between water, sanitation, hygiene, human behavior, and schistOSome transmission.

Effect of sanitation and water treatment on intestinal protozoa infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the relation between access to, and use of, sanitation facilities and water treatment and infection with intestinal protozoa, and found that the availability or use of sanitation facilities was associated with significantly lower odds of infection with Entamoeba histolytica or Entammeba dispar (OR 0·56, 95% CI 0·42-0·74), but not for Blastocystis hominis (1·03, 0·87-1·23), and Cryptosporidium spp (0·68, 0
