Linked from

The 31 pages that link to Fecal–oral route, each with the reason it gives.

• SanitationRelated: Sanitation interrupts this route by separating feces from people and their surroundings.

• Waterborne diseaseRelated: Human waste in drinking water carries intestinal pathogens into the digestive tract.

• HandwashingRelated: Handwashing after toileting can interrupt this route of infection.

• GiardiasisRelated: Giardiasis spreads when contaminated water, food, hands, or objects carry cysts into the mouth.

• Soil-transmitted helminthiasisRelated: Ingestion of soil-matured eggs transmits ascariasis and trichuriasis.

• Taenia soliumRelated: This route spreads T. solium eggs and can lead to cysticercosis.

• CryptosporidiosisRelated: People acquire Cryptosporidium by ingesting oocysts from contaminated water, food, hands, or surfaces.

• FecesRelated: It explains how inadequate hygiene can turn fecal contamination into infectious disease.

• Infectious disease transmissionRelated: It links intestinal infection to contaminated hands, food, or water.

• NeurocysticercosisRelated: Swallowed Taenia solium eggs can hatch and release larvae that migrate into tissues, including the brain.

• Typhoid feverRelated: This route commonly carries S. Typhi between people.

• Water, sanitation and hygieneRelated: Safe water, sanitation, and handwashing block different links in this pathway.

• Hepatitis ARelated: HAV commonly spreads this way through contaminated hands, food, or water.

• Pit latrineRelated: Poor containment or hygiene around a latrine can leave this transmission pathway open.

• Entamoeba histolyticaRelated: Contaminated food or water can carry E. histolytica cysts between human hosts.

• AmoebiasisRelated: Ingested cysts commonly reach people through contaminated food or water.

• CysticercosisRelated: Swallowing Taenia solium eggs through contaminated food or hands initiates infection.

• DysenteryRelated: Many dysentery-causing pathogens spread when contaminated material is ingested.

• PolioRelated: Poliovirus commonly spreads this way, especially where sanitation is inadequate.

• ShigellaRelated: This is the main route by which Shigella passes between hosts.

• AscariasisRelated: People acquire ascariasis by swallowing eggs contaminating food, water, hands, or soil.

• AnilingusRelated: This route explains how oral–anal contact can transmit intestinal infections.

• Giardia duodenalisRelated: Giardia cysts are swallowed through this route, often in contaminated water.

• Hepatitis ERelated: This route drives waterborne outbreaks where sanitation is inadequate.

• Ascaris lumbricoidesRelated: Ascaris eggs reach people through contaminated soil, food, or water.

• Portable toiletRelated: Poorly managed portable-toilet waste can expose people to pathogens through this route.

• CoprophagiaNarrower topic: Coprophagia is a direct form of this transmission route.

• HelminthiasisRelated: Many intestinal helminths spread when infective eggs are swallowed.

• Mary MallonRelated: Investigators suspected contaminated food prepared by Mallon spread the bacteria.

• Microbial cystRelated: Cysts of intestinal parasites commonly persist in the environment before this form of transmission.

• ToxocariasisRelated: People acquire Toxocara by swallowing eggs contaminating soil, food, hands, or objects.
