Core Tip	The authors report contamination of human hands with enteric parasites in two independent sites surveyed in two developing countries of the Indian Subcontinent. This study indicates that contamination of hands with parasite ova/(oo)cysts are common among those populations already infected and this may play a role in continued cycle of transmission and/or re-infection within the community.
