Caption:
Captured in central Thailand, this historic image presents a young Thai boy squatting on the bow of his father’s shallow-hulled river boat as he defecates into the surrounding waterway from which fish were harvested. The direct disposal of human waste into streams and lakes was historically practiced in some rural communities but has largely been discontinued in modern Thailand. This photograph was taken during a public health field exercise focused on hookworm transmission.
