AB Acute  diarrheal  disease  is  a  leading  cause  of  illness  globally  and  is  associated  with  an  estimated  1.7  million  deaths  per  year.  Among  children  <5  years  of  age,  diarrheal  disease  is  second  only  to  lower  respiratory  infection  as  the  most  common  infectious  cause  of  death.  The  morbidity  from  diarrhea  also  is  significant.  Recurrent  intestinal  infections  are  associated  with  physical  and  mental  stunting,  wasting,  micronutrient  deficiencies,  and  malnutrition.  In  short,  diarrheal  disease  is  a  driving  factor  in  global  morbidity  and  mortality.
