从1987年5月至1988年7月，对居住在巴布亚新几内亚城市住区的5岁以下儿童进行了监测，试图确定儿童腹泻的病因因素。化合物中存在粪便与腹泻发病率增加48%相关（发病密度比（IDR）= 1.48，95%置信区间（Cl）：1.163-1.897），而化合物中存在猪与腹泻发病率增加69%相关（IDR = 1.694，95% Cl：1.317-2.189）。大院中竖管的存在与腹泻发病率降低56%有关。粪便、动物和竖管对腹泻发病率的影响与母亲是否识字无关。我们的结论是，针对这些因素的任何干预措施都可能减少类似城市生态系统中的腹泻发病率。
Children below five years of age residing in an urban settlement of Papua New Guinea were monitored from May 1987 to July 1988 in an attempt to identify aetiological factors of childhood diarrhoea. Presence of faeces in the compound was associated with a 48% increase (incidence density ratio (IDR) = 1.48, 95% confidence interval (Cl): 1.163-1.897) in diarrhoea morbidity whilst the presence of pigs in the compound was associated with a 69% increase (IDR = 1.694, 95% Cl: 1.317-2.189). The presence of a standpipe in the compound was associated with a reduction in diarrhoea morbidity of 56%. The effect of presence of faeces, animals, and standpipe on the incidence of diarrhoea was not dependent on whether or not mothers were literate. We conclude that any intervention aimed at these factors is likely to reduce diarrhoea morbidity in similar urban ecosystems.
