Our Cochrane review assessed the impact of WASH interventions on soil-transmitted helminths and found a 29% reduction in odds (95%CI 0.54 to 0.94). OR:0.86 amongst RCTs (95%CI 0.74 to 1.01). So. Many Meta-regressions! Moderate effect, yet important! cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10…

New NEJM shows median time from symptom onset or PCR+, whichever was first, to culture conversion was 8 days (IQR 5-10). In other words, about half of people with omicron are likely still contagious at day 8 or later (regardless of vaccine status). nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thanks Environmental Health Perspectives for the excellent piece summarizing our recent work on contamination of poultry products in Mozambique. Highlights the importance of paying attention to foodborne transmission of enteropathogen infection. And to markets as a source of those infections.
