Association between sanitary toilet coverage rate and intestinal infectious disease in Jiangsu Province, China
Abstract Intestinal infectious disease is one of the most common diseases in China and is prevalent worldwide. The Chinese government launched a toilet improvement campaign to improve sanitation and reduce the incidence of diseases. This study determined the association between sanitary toilet use a...
