Locals get travellers’ diarrhoea too: risk factors for diarrhoeal illness and pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> infection across an urban‐rural gradient in Ecuador
Openalex
Resumen
This study suggests that individuals travelling from lower-transmission regions (rural areas) to higher transmission regions (urban centres) within a single country are at a greater risk of acquiring a diarrhoea-related illness. Investments to improve water, sanitation and hygiene conditions in urban areas could have impacts on outlying rural areas within a given country.
