Microbial study of household hygiene conditions and associated <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> infection risks for Peruvian women

Abstract

In addition to gaining insights on how human behaviours affect exposure and infection risk, this model addressed uncertainties regarding the influence of household surface contamination levels. Understanding the influence of surface contamination in preventing pathogen transmission in households could help to develop intervention strategies to reduce L. monocytogenes infection and associated health risks.
