在673名厄瓜多尔农村成年人中，有303人(45%)检测到SARS冠状病毒2型抗体，其中77%的人有相似的临床表现。血清阳性与开放式厕所的使用有关。我们的发现支持了对SARS-CoV-2在拉丁美洲农村大规模传播的担忧，并不能排除粪便-口腔传播的贡献作用。
Antibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were detected in 303/673 rural Ecuadorian adults (45%), 77% of whom had compatible clinical manifestations. Seropositivity was associated with the use of open latrines. Our findings support the fears of mass spread of SARS-CoV-2 in rural Latin America and cannot exclude a contributing role for fecal-oral transmission.
