Pathogens in Nairobi water and feces
Open access · cc by · source: Europe PMC
Dog feces carried the most enteric pathogens among hosts sampled in a Nairobi informal area.
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
Used TaqMan Array Cards and microbial source tracking on feces and drinking water from Dagoretti South, Nairobi, in 2019.
Limitations
Does not prove that dog-feces interventions would reduce child diarrhea in this community.
