for human health as well as the environment, and this practice persistence could be due to ingrained habits that individuals continue to engage in despite having a better alternative. Safe disposal of human excreta is essential for public health protection. This study sought to find if open defecation relates to fecal-oral infections in Burat and Ngaremara Wards in Isiolo County. This was achieved through conducting a cross-sectional study. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 385 households that were used in the study. Data collection was done by use of questionnaires and observation checklists. The result show that 66% of the respondents disposed-off fecal matter in a safe manner, whereas 34% disposed-off fecal matter in unsafe manner through open defecation. The prevalence proportions per 1000 of diarrhea and intestinal worms among children under-5 years of age were 142 and 21, respectively. The prevalence proportions per 1000 of diarrhea and typhoid among children over-5 years of age were 20 and 20, respectively.\u003c/p\u003e", "identifier": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1474701", "inLanguage": {"@type": "Language", "alternateName": "eng", "name": "English"}, "issue": "9", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode", "name": "The Impact of Open Defecation on Fecal-Oral Infections: A Case Study in Burat and Ngaremara Wards of Isiolo County, Kenya", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Zenodo"}, "size": "167.07 KB", "url": "https://zenodo.org/records/1474701", "version": "10009570", "volume": "11.0"}</script> <script src="/static/dist/js/invenio-app-rdm-landing-page-theme.9b56690388e335810f04.js"></script> <script src="/static/dist/js/9945.e11a5a6ff50535c72070.js"></script> <script src="/static/dist/js/1357.4e237807ffba81b213b0.js"></script> <script src="/static/dist/js/1644.2b2007bc83e4beeabfaf.js"></script> <script src="/static/dist/js/8962.cfabe841decd009221fd.js"></script> <script src="/static/dist/js/9300.a81535ba51a38f1472fe.js"></script> <script src="/static/dist/js/9693.dac033d778162b60d96f.js"></script> <script src="/static/dist/js/invenio-app-rdm-landing-page.024f3c02bb324ddef007.js"></script> <script src="/static/dist/js/previewer_theme.77f20174699c7786038a.js"></script> <script src="/static/dist/js/zenodo-rdm-citations.f6ca22bc7712ee9b03f7.js"></script> <div class="ui container info message cookie-banner hidden"> <i class="close icon"></i> <div> <i aria-hidden="true" class="info icon"></i> <p class="inline">This site uses cookies.
