Measuring Environmental Exposure to Enteric Pathogens in Low-Income Settings: Review and Recommendations of an Interdisciplinary Working Group	2020-08-19		.txt	text/plain	13381	688	31	Systematic reviews of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) evaluations, conducted to identify the health effects of interventions designed to reduce enteric pathogen exposure, have generally found improved WaSH to be protective against diarrhea, 24 soil-transmitted helminthiasis, 25 and malnutrition. A systematic review of the effects of sanitation interventions on fecal−oral transmission pathways identified the following approaches used: enteric pathogens or indicator bacteria in environmental samples (drinking water, hands, sentinel toys, food, household and latrine surfaces, and soil); the presence or abundance of flies; and observations of human and animal feces. 68 There are a number of factors to consider when measuring enteric pathogen prevalence in the environment, including environmental sampling strategies, the use of indicators as proxies for enteric pathogens, differentiating between human and animal sources of contamination, detection limits, and selecting which specific pathogens to target.	./cache/cord-322120-wtu04r2j.txt	./txt/cord-322120-wtu04r2j.txt
