Article Synopsis
- Cockroaches are recognized as carriers of disease-causing parasites that can infect humans, prompting research to identify these parasites.
- In a study involving 185 cockroaches, various cleaning and dissection methods revealed a transport rate of 29.729% and identified four types of helminths, with Ascaris lumbricoides being the most prevalent.
- The research indicated that more parasites were found on the cockroaches' external surfaces and that those captured in toilets had a higher rate of parasitic presence than those from kitchens or homes.
