Sanitation and water supply coverage thresholds associated with active trachoma: Modeling cross-sectional data from 13 countries

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Background Facial cleanliness and sanitation are postulated to reduce trachoma transmission, but there are no previous data on community-level herd protection thresholds. We characterize associations between active trachoma, access to improved sanitation
