Appendix 1—table 1. Number and proportion of sample types collected in each arm at each phase.

Baseline 12 month 24 month
Control Intervention Control Intervention Control Intervention
Whole stool 377 (96%) 351 (97%) 361 (91%) 380 (93%) 307 (67%) 333 (72%)
Diarrheal diaper 15 (3.8%) 10 (2.8%) 4 (1.0%) 4 (0.98%) 32 (7.0%) 20 (4.3%)
Rectal swab* 0 (0%) 0 (0%) 30 (7.6%) 24 (5.9%) 120 (26%) 109 (24%)

*Mean concentration of double-stranded DNA recovered from whole stool was 40.8 ng/μL (SD = 16.5, n = 33 with 57 samples excluded as their concentrations exceeded the upper detection limit of the assay), diaper samples was 28.7 ng/μL (SD = 16.9, n = 61 with 16 samples excluded as concentrations exceeded upper detection limit of assay), and rectal swabs was 26.3 ng/μL (SD = 15.5, n = 195 with 25 samples excluded as concentrations exceeded upper detection limit of assay). Only a subset of each sample type assayed for dsDNA concentration.
