Sand flies, which transmit the Kala Azar parasite, subsist near stagnant water.  Poorer populations live near these water sources and have no other choice than to use them for their daily chores; like this man in a village in the District Muzaffarpur in India, who is washing his face and rinsing his mouth in this muddy pond. ©Anita Khemka/DNDi Right click on the links below to download the image download high resolution download low resolution

Stagnant water is a source of infection, but often villagers have no other choice than to use it. In a village in District Muzaffarpur, India a man is bathing his buffalo while a woman is washing herself in the same pond. ©Anita Khemka/DNDi download high resolution download low resolution
