	abstract = {The present study was carried out on samples of Eco-san toilets at three villages in Srinagar upazilla under munshiganj district, Bangladesh, which were designed to treat human faeces for reuse in agriculture. Out of 50 Eco-san toilet, a total of 150 faecal samples, from three layers (surface, middle and bottom) of each tank, were examined. in addition, 50 soil samples were also examined from surrounding areas of Eco-san toilets. A total of 10 parasite species were identified from faecal samples which include trophozoite and cystic forms of Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, Trichomonus homonis, eggs and larvae of Ascaris lumbricoides, Strongyloides stercoralis, hookworms, Enterobius vermicularis and tape worms. A gradual increase in prevalence and degree of infection of parasites observed from upper to bottom layer of faecal tanks. The occurrence of As-caris lumbricoides, Strongyloides stercoralis, hookworm, Enterobius vermicularis were 76\%, 34\%, 32\% and 34\% respectively in faecal samples, while 100\%, 60\%, 40\% and 28\% respectively in soil samples. The eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides showed highest prevalence in all layers of faecal tanks. Eggs of tape worm and eggs and larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis were also markedly prevalent in both types of samples.},
