TaqMan Array Cards (TACs)
Key findings
Dogs had a mean 15.5 pathogen targets per sample; MST markers leaked across hosts (HF183 70% sensitive); canine feces are an under-managed exposure route.
Methodology

Limitations
Does not prove that dog-feces interventions would reduce child diarrhea in this community.
