14. We don’t really know, but there are some general ideas!

15.  Enterocyte Killing  Maldigestion of carbohydrates  Enterotoxin NSP4

16. What needs to be done to address this problem?

17.  Vaccination  Oral rehydration therapy (ORT)  Nutrition, sanitation, water, and hygiene  Research biomarkers / host mechanisms

23.  Diarrheal Disease is a serious problem facing the developing world!  Disparities in care account for the deaths of thousands each year  Something we get frequently and don’t die of is causing too many deaths
