The MAL-ED Study: A Multinational and Multidisciplinary Approach to Understand the Relationship Between Enteric Pathogens, Malnutrition, Gut Physiology, Physical Growth, Cognitive Development, and Immune Responses in Infants and Children Up to 2 Years of Age in Resource-Poor Environments

Angel Mendez Acosta, +108 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis is that enteropathogen infection contributes to undernutrition by causing intestinal inflammation and/or by altering intestinal barrier and absorptive function, and it is further postulated that this leads to growth faltering and deficits in cognitive development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of quantitative molecular diagnostic methods to assess the aetiology, burden, and clinical characteristics of diarrhoea in children in low-resource settings: a reanalysis of the MAL-ED cohort study.

James A Platts-Mills, +159 more
TL;DR: Quantitative molecular diagnostics improved estimates of pathogen-specific burdens of childhood diarrhoea in the community setting and created aetiology prediction scores using clinical characteristics that could improve the management of diarrhoee in these low-resource settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causal Pathways from Enteropathogens to Environmental Enteropathy: Findings from the MAL-ED Birth Cohort Study.

Margaret Kosek, +142 more
- 01 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: The MAL-ED study represents a novel analytical framework and explicitly evaluates multiple putative EE pathways in combination and using an unprecedented quantity of data to demonstrate that enteric infection alters both fecal markers of inflammation and permeability.
