Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Anastasia Diakou"
- Anastasia Diakou's research primarily focuses on zoonotic parasites affecting both domestic animals and humans, emphasizing the interconnectedness of animal and human health within the "One Health" framework, as seen in studies on the prevalence of nematode parasites and the first documented case of human anisakiosis in Greece.
- Diakou explores various vector-borne diseases and parasites, conducting significant epidemiological studies, such as the investigation of tick paralysis in domestic mammals in Cyprus, and the analysis of cat infections by reinforcing the need for accurate diagnostics, especially for the tapeworm Dipylidium caninum.
- Recent works include pioneering genetic analysis to understand macrocyclic lactone resistance in Dirofilaria immitis, underscoring the evolving challenges in the treatment and prevention of parasitic diseases, thereby contributing to the broader discourse about emerging infectious diseases and their management in both veterinary and public health contexts.
