Household determinants of animal and human fecal contamination on floors and hands in northwestern coastal Ecuador

2026-08-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Household environments in low-resource settings can become contaminated with fecal matter from multiple sources, including humans and domestic animals. Identifying the source of fecal contamination is critical for designing targeted interventions to reduce exposure to enteric pathogens, particularly for young children who bear the majority of the enteric disease burden. Using data from 140 house...
