DefeatDD: Superheroes vs. Villains
This summer’s biggest blockbuster is presented by DefeatDD. Watch superheroes
WASH, Nutrition, Vaccines, and ORS + Zinc face off against diarrheal disease
villains in an epic battle for the health of children and communities!
efeatDD has just launched a new video:
“DefeatDD: Superheroes vs. Villains.”
Animated in the style of a retro
superhero comic, the video tells the
story of the four main pathogens
causing diarrheal disease, the “villains” ETEC,
rotavirus, Shigella, and Cryptosporidium and the
interventions that can help families and
communities defeat diarrheal disease—the
“superheroes” WASH (water, sanitation, and
hygiene), nutrition, vaccines, and ORS + zinc.
The vicious villains causing diarrhea are no match

That sight, that sound, that super-strength?!? It’s
WASH, Nutrition, Vaccines, and ORS + Zinc to the
rescue. With their powers combined, these
superheroes help children, families, and
communities conquer the biggest bugs terrorizing
towns and sickening kids with diarrhea.
Here are few spotlight individual intervention
superheroes. But they’re not the only heroes in this
story! There are lots of everyday folks who are
committed to saving more lives and helping children
around the world grow healthy and strong.
