Nanami KAWAGUCHI
Nanami KAWAGUCHI Research Topic Investigation of the effects of aquatic environmental conditions on the conjugation efficiency of antibiotic resistance genes Research Abstract In recent years, the global increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes has become a serious concern. Considering this situation, it is important to control the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in aquatic environments, as they may be…

Genichiro UCHIUMI Research Topic Satellite-based assessment of the influence of surface water dynamics on infectious disease burden Research Abstract In developing countries, seasonal flooding during the monsoon period may elevate the risk of waterborne and water-related infectious diseases by increasing population exposure to contaminated water. However, areas covered by surface water, including floodwater, fluctuate rapidly over short timeframes and is…

Takaysu YASUGI Research Topic Optimization of Sampling Strategies for Pollution Source Identification in River Water Quality Monitoring Research Abstract Early detection of water pollution and identification of pollution sources are essential for effective management of aquatic environments. However, dense monitoring of entire river watersheds is difficult because water sampling and chemical analysis require substantial labor and cost. Therefore, sampling locations…

Ippei SUZUKI Research Topic Development of a model for visualizing fecal contamination in living spaces in the Peri-Urban Areas of Zambia Research Abstract In developing countries, particularly in Africa, many people lack access to safe water and sanitation. This inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) environment leads to severe health issues. Notably, diarrhea—a leading waterborne infectious disease—is the second leading…

Kouki ANDO Research Topic Photochemical inactivation mechanism of viruses in tropical freshwater Research Abstract In developing regions, lake water is frequently used for domestic purposes. When untreated wastewater enters these sources, it poses exposure risks to pathogens like norovirus, a leading cause of infectious gastroenteritis. However, lakes possess natural self-purification capabilities. Accurately evaluating this potential enables effective risk management. Our…
