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.


We developed an evidence-based, simple checklist tool to improve the reporting transparency of WASH interventions. Can be used by researchers and practitioners to add transparency and learning to implementation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Emory Public Health
