Parasites in food chains

While in high-income countries, the majority of people die from non-communicable, chronic conditions, nearly 40% of deaths in developing countries are among children under 15 years. Diarrhoea is among the top 10 leading causes of death and many cases are caused by pathogens transmitted in food and water supplies.
