- Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) are significant public health concerns, particularly in low and middle-income countries, where they can severely affect vulnerable populations through contaminated food and water.
- A study analyzing 9 years of stool examination data found an overall prevalence of 21.20% of IPIs, with the highest rates among patients aged 70-79 and in the year 2020.
- The most common parasites identified were intestinal flagellates, which accounted for 98.31% of the infections diagnosed in the study.
