Overview
This study sought to develop a better understanding of the relationship between malnutrition and enteropathogen infections in infants in Timor-Leste and the contribution of social, zoonotic, and environmental factors affecting their transmission.
A key aim of the project was to strengthen capacity in human and animal public health within Timor-Leste and share the results with the community. The project also served as a pilot to establish the feasibility of conducting a larger study on the relationship between infant stunting and gastrointestinal infections in Timor-Leste.
