Journal ArticleDOI

Do U.S. Environmental Protection Agency water quality guidelines for recreational waters prevent gastrointestinal illness? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Timothy J. Wade, +3 more
- 01 Jun 2003 - 
TL;DR: The results support the use of enterococci in marine water at U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guideline levels and the ability of new, more rapid and specific microbial methods to predict health effects, and estimating the risks of recreational water exposure among susceptible persons.
Journal ArticleDOI

The epidemiology of published norovirus outbreaks: a review of risk factors associated with attack rate and genogroup.

Jonathan Matthews, +11 more
- 01 Jul 2012 - 
TL;DR: Multivariate regression analyses demonstrated that foodservice and winter outbreaks were significantly associated with higher attack rates, and foodborne and waterborne outbreaks were associated with multiple strains (GI+GII), which identify important trends for epidemic NoV detection, prevention, and control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonality of rotavirus disease in the tropics: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Karen Levy, +2 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that rotavirus responds to changes in climate in the tropics, with the highest number of infections found at the colder and drier times of the year.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrating Disease Control Strategies: Balancing Water Sanitation and Hygiene Interventions to Reduce Diarrheal Disease Burden

Joseph N. S. Eisenberg, +2 more
- 01 May 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is found that the benefits of a water quality intervention depend on sanitation and hygiene conditions, and a household-level stochastic model accounting for 5 different transmission pathways provides guidance in understanding how to best eliminate diarrheal disease through integrated control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy Rainfall Events and Diarrhea Incidence: The Role of Social and Environmental Factors

Elizabeth J. Carlton, +5 more
- 01 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: Heavy rainfall events appear to affect diarrhea incidence through contamination of drinking water, and they present the greatest health risks following periods of low rainfall, so interventions designed to increase drinking water treatment may reduce climate vulnerability.
