Cyclones are a dangerous threat to the coastal population of Bangladesh. Historically, numerous cyclones have caused massive casualties. Despite progress in reducing death tolls, the number of cyclone shelters is still inadequate. The placement of cyclone shelters require re-evaluation in a scientific manner to maximize effectiveness. This study co...

Considering damage and loss of lives, cyclones are the most severe natural disaster in Bangladesh. One of the most important cyclone mitigation measures is to temporarily evacuate the vulnerable population on receipt of warning and look after them by arranging shelters with adequate facilities. To ensure effective and efficient evacuation, it is im...

The present study was performed to find out the prevalence of parasites and bacteria from cow dung and pit soil from 4 different areas of Bangladesh. Modified centrifugal flotation and conventional culture techniques were used to isolate parasites and bacteria respectively. In case of cow dung, Mymensing was provided with highest average for all st...

The objective of this paper is to determine whether deep tubewells installed through arsenic mitigation efforts in rural Bangladesh provide better drinking water microbial quality compared to shallow tubewells. We conducted a stratified random cross-sectional survey of 484 households to assess microbial contamination of deep tubewell water at sourc...

The present study investigated the optimum time and temperature for inactivation of bacteria and parasites in cow dung and pit faecal sludge, a forthcoming fertilizer. Samples were collected from different areas of Bangladesh and were examined through modified centrifugal flotation and conventional culture techniques to isolate parasites and bacter...
Article
In Dhaka, Bangladesh, the sensitivity and specificity of three human, three ruminant, and one avian source-associated QPCR microbial source tracking assays were evaluated using fecal samples collected on site. Ruminant-associated assays performed well, while the avian and human assays exhibited unacceptable cross-reactions with feces from other hos...
Article
Climate extremes in conjunction with some land use practices are expected to have large impacts on water quality. However the impacts of land use and climate change on fecal contamination of groundwater has not been well characterized. This work quantifies the influences of extreme weather events and land use practices on E. coli presence and conce...

As the population of Dhaka City is growing very fast, the sustainable transport policy for Dhaka should strive to retain and expand the modal share of walking trips, which share the majority of all short trips made. But unfortunately, pedestrian facilities may be the most neglected and unattended ones in transport planning of Dhaka city. This paper...
Article
Bangladesh, with a population of 151 million people, is a country that is particularly prone to natural disasters: 26% of the population are affected by cyclones and 70% live in flood-prone regions. Mortality and morbidity from these events have fallen substantially in the past 50 years, partly because of improvements in disaster management. Thousa...

Polyphosphate provides a substitute for ATP and energy source when phosphorus is a limiting resource in nature. The present study focuses on the role ofpolyphosphate for the survival of Vibrio cholerae in the aquatic habitats as an autochthonous bacterium. The survival advantages of polyphosphate of V. cholerae O1 having (wild type) and lacking (mu...

Cholera is water-borne infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139. Currently a proportion of people living in rural area like Matlab, Bangladesh are dependent on surface water for various purposes to surface water. People of the area are affected by cholera particularly in rainy seasons. We measured in situ the physicochemical paramet...

SO 4), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD), were measured using standard procedures. Microbiological quali-ties of the water samples, in terms of total colif-orm (TC), faecal coliform (FC), and total bacterial count (TBC), were assessed following standard procedures. Results: All the chemical parameters of raw waste-wa...

Background: Epidemics of cholera occur regularly in Bangladesh, and results of a number of studies suggest that blue-green algae act as an inter-epidemic reservoir of Vibrio cholerae. It has recently been found that vibriophages in the environment inversely correlate with the abundance of toxigenic V. cholerae in water samples and incidence rates o...
