Figures
Moving produce to market in the Usino Valley, Papua New Guinea.
This photo from the Usino study area in Papua New Guinea shows people carrying produce to a local market several kilometers from their homes and gardens. The track crosses several streams, and it is quite steep in some areas and slippery after rains. Subsistence farmers cannot afford to carry the extra burdens of acute filarial fevers or chronic lymphedema (see Weil et al., doi:10.1371/journal.pntd.0000344).
