Title: Fecal biomarkers of environmental enteric dysfunction and associated factors among
children aged 24-59 months in east Dembiya district, northwest Ethiopia
Version: 3 Date: 21 Mar 2022
Reviewer's report:
Authors  addressed the previous comments and the manuscript significantly improved than
before and is suitable for publication in BMC Gastroenterology if the following minor
comments   are addressed.
1. In the sample collection section, who were field workers?  Who actually collected the soil,
food and stool samples. Please specify the actual data collectors with regard to their profession.
The term ''field workers'  is not proper and professional.
2.  line 165-166, revise the phrase samples preserved on ice?  and stored in the laboratory on ice?
You mean samples stored in ice box for transportation and preserved at 4 O C in the laboratory
until microscopic examination?  Look how  similar papers written on sample transportation and
preservation in the laboratory.
3. The manuscript requires edition for language usage and smooth transitions between
paragraphs particularly to the methodology and result sections.
Thank you.
