There is the influence of the density of flies against diarrhea disease symptoms, the higher the density of flies the symptoms of diarrhea is increasing conversely the lower the density of flies then the lower the incidence of diarrhea symptoms. There is the influence of the simultaneous behavior of waste management and the density of flies against the symptoms of diarrhea, if the behavior of waste management better than the number density of flies will be lower and the symptoms of diarrhea diseases is getting lower on the contrary if the behavior of the waste management worse than the number density of flies higher and symptoms of diarrhea disease more increasing.
