| Abstract |
Liver fluke is common in the Northeast of Thailand. An estimated 1.5-2 million persons were infected in 2007. The appearance of the liver fluke that the major cause of the pathogens of cholangiocarcinoma, and is likely increased every year. In 2011, the incidence of cholangiocarcinoma was 51.6 per 100,000 people. At present, only 41.49 % of total 7,853 local administrative organizations (LAOs) of Thailand have the excreta treatment plant, however, 21.4% is out of operation. There are 141 LAOs in Sakon Nakhon but, only 17 of them (12.06%) have the excreta treatment plant. Na Tan is also one of LAOs in Sakon Nakhon, which there is no excreta treatment plant.
This survey research aimed to study the excreta management and risk behavior of liver fluke spread in Na Tan, Tao Ngoi, Sakon Nakhon, North-East Thailand. Data at the household level and community level were collected through the interview questionnaire of 1,151 representative households from a population 1,389 households in 7 villages. The results revealed that at the household level, 37.56% of the household has a septic tank without seepage pit, 56.52% has only seepage pit, 21.32% of the tank is cracked and 24.52% has no ventilation pipe. The septic tanks were vacuumed once a year about 69.19% of the total tank. Most of the toilet (78.81%) is squatting pan toilet. There are 2 private excreta trucks which disposed of excreta in the open pond, located in Na Tan Sub-District
For the risk behaviors of liver fluke spread, found that there are 27.44% of respondents who used to detect liver fluke and were found positive liver fluke eggs in stool and 54.84% of them reported that they still consume raw fish. The sources of fish are from Hin Tad reservoir, Na Ang reservoir and a small creek in the village which they do fishing by themselves. There were 62.80% of respondents who bought fish from district market.
In conclusion, this information should be linked to the data map using the Geographic Information System, develop the appropriated excreta treatment plant and the sanitation systems in the area for solving the problem of liver fluke infection
