| Abstract |
Studies of enteric diseases have historically focused on observations of clinical diarrhea as a cause of mortality and morbidity. Emerging evidence suggests that diarrhea dramatically underestimates both exposure to enteropathogens and the long-term consequences arising from infection. High burden of pathogens in the gut, even in the absence of diarrhea, is common in infants in low and middle income countries. Continual challenge by pathogens, in conjunction with an inadequate diet stimulates an inflammatory disease that alters the structure of the gut, metabolic and immunological pathways and changes the microbiome. Both diarrhea and enteropathogen infection have been associated with reduced growth, reduced cognitive development, and reduced vaccine efficacy suggesting that the burden of diarrheal disease is dramatically underestimated. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 September 2017.
All research outputs
#5,053,721
of 25,183,822 outputs
Outputs from Tropical Diseases, Travel Medicine and Vaccines
#46
of 153 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#85,505
of 372,617 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tropical Diseases, Travel Medicine and Vaccines
#3
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,183,822 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 153 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 372,617 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
