A review of latrine front-end characteristics associated with microbial infection risk; reveals a lack of pathogen density data

This study recommends that effective microbial infection risk reduction in latrines can be gained efficiently by ensuring washable surfaces and consistent cleaning practices. Future studies should include more rigorous measurements of microbial densities in various latrine types incorporating the different front-end components and usage behaviours.PMID:37734133 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijheh.2023.114261
