A quantitative dataset outlining distribution and viability of ocular and non-ocular Chlamydia trachomatis in households in a trachoma-endemic community in Oromia, Ethiopia. Data was collected as part of a two time point, pre covid study of Chlamydia trachomatis transmission study. This study used reverse transcription PCR to identify viable infection from non-viable infection. It also described the role of faces and hands in the transmission of trachoma and the importance of targeted intervention of facial and hand hygiene.
The following variables are contained in the Chlamydia trachomatis dataset.
