This study examined drought-temperature influences on malaria incidence in Saki and Sepeteri, Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria, using monthly climate and health data from 2013 to 2023. Drought conditions were characterized using standardized precipitation indices (SPI-1, SPI-3, and SPI-12), and associations with malaria were analyzed using regression models accounting for seasonality and temporal lags. Malaria transmission was strongly seasonal, peaking during July-November, with mean monthly cases reaching 1,134 in Saki and 869 in Sepeteri. In Saki, long-term moisture availability significantly increased malaria incidence, with a one-unit increase in SPI-12 associated with a 267% rise in cases (β = 1.299, p = 0.011). This effect was significantly moderated by temperature (β = -0.049, p = 0.011), and 1-2 month lagged climate models substantially improved predictive performance (ΔAIC ≈ 47-59). In Sepeteri, SPI-3 lagged models improved model fit (ΔAIC ≈ 45-50), though interaction effects were not statistically significant. These findings highlight non-linear, location-specific drought-malaria dynamics and support integrating lagged drought and temperature indicators into malaria early-warning systems.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"24 3","pages":"460-474"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147574807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a silver tungstate-modified magnesium oxide nanocomposite (Ag2WO4/MgO, denoted as AgW@MgO) was synthesized and applied as an efficient adsorbent for bromide removal from aqueous solutions. The material was thoroughly characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of adsorbent dose, initial bromide concentration, contact time, and pH on removal efficiency. The adsorption equilibrium data were best described by the Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.9603), with a maximum capacity of 1.01 mg g-1, while the kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.9718), indicating chemisorption as the dominant mechanism. Intra-particle diffusion analysis further confirmed multi-step adsorption behavior. Regeneration studies demonstrated that AgW@MgO maintained up to 50% removal efficiency after four adsorption-desorption cycles. Application to real groundwater samples showed complete bromide removal, highlighting the material's potential for practical water treatment. Overall, AgW@MgO emerges as a cost-effective and sustainable adsorbent with high efficiency, reusability, and environmental relevance for bromide elimination from contaminated waters.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"24 2","pages":"189-203"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147322093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we conducted laboratory recovery experiments and a field study to evaluate sample collection methods for agricultural water assessments. Dead-end ultrafiltration (DEUF) was used to collect large-volume (50 L) irrigation water samples alongside 1-L grab samples monthly from three farms in southern Georgia, USA, for 1 year. DEUF and grab samples were analyzed for fecal indicators, Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, and MST markers. DEUF resulted in higher detection rates than grab sampling for Salmonella and most fecal indicators. DEUF also revealed associations between Salmonella and fecal indicators that grab sampling did not. This study demonstrates the applicability and benefit of DEUF for the sensitive detection of pathogens, fecal indicators, and MST markers in produce irrigation water.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"24 2","pages":"176-188"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12952685/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147322135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fecal samples were analyzed by real-time PCR to detect 21 viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens, alongside household surveys and water quality assessments. Sixteen pathogens were detected, 85% of participants carried at least one pathogen, with frequent coinfections. The most prevalent pathogens were Helicobacter pylori, adenovirus, EPEC, Giardia lamblia, and Shigella. Pathogen carriage was higher in rural than in peri-urban settings, with bacterial infections predominating in the lower basin and viral infections in the upper basin. Children carried more viral and parasitic pathogens, while mothers had more bacterial pathogens. Significant mother-child concordance was observed for several pathogens, supporting shared household exposures. Enteric pathogen carriage was strongly associated with drinking water source, sanitation practices, housing quality, and hygiene behaviors, particularly reliance on cistern/spring water, open defecation, and inadequate hand hygiene.

The United States, China, and the United Kingdom dominate scholarly output, while a centralized collaboration network sidelines many high-risk regions, creating a critical evidence gap. Thematic mapping shows an intensive focus on malaria and dengue, collectively constituting over two-fifths of the literature, though emerging interest in risk modeling and vector habitat suitability signals a methodological shift. Content analysis of the most-cited studies highlights the expanding geographic range and seasonality of WRDs, intensified by extreme floods and droughts, with disproportionate impacts on children, the elderly, and low-income communities.

We conducted a narrative review of published studies and reports and examined how conflict and climate variability contribute to cholera risk and how these drivers interact. Evidence shows that conflict increases cholera transmission mainly through population displacement, overcrowding, and the breakdown of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) systems, surveillance, and health services. Climate hazards, especially heavy rainfall, flooding, and drought, increase exposure to contaminated water and disrupt sanitation infrastructure, creating conditions that support the persistence and spread of Vibrio cholerae. The interaction of insecurity and climate shocks is most evident in high-risk settings such as internally displaced persons camps and flood-prone communities, where outbreaks are harder to detect and control. We recommend conflict-sensitive and climate-adaptive cholera control, including strengthened WASH services, earlier warning and surveillance, pre-positioned outbreak supplies and oral cholera vaccines, and coordinated response plans for high-risk regions.","PeriodicalId":17436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of water and health","volume":"24 2","pages":"221-238"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147322070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
