Effect of forest cover change on the prevalence of acute respiratory tract infections, diarrhoea, and fever among children under five: Using an ecosystem approach to child health

The effect of forest cover in reducing childhood diarrhoea underscores the need for comprehensive child health programs that also incorporate environmental components.
