In wastewater samples, 14.29% had single infection, 85.71% double infection, whereas, observation on 20 soil samples by TAC system, total 12 types of pathogens were recorded such as Shigella, Aeromonas, Campylobacter, Vibrio cholerae, Blastocystis, Salmonella, Plesiomonas, Bacteroides fragilis and Rota virus including Entamoeba sp., Ancylostoma sp. and Trichuris sp.
