Article Synopsis
- The prevalence of enteric parasites in developing countries can reach up to 80%, with a systematic review focusing on molecular prevalence and subtype distribution of specific parasites in Latin America.
- The review analyzed literature from January 2015 to October 2023, identifying 36 studies that report prevalence rates ranging from 5.8% in Bolivia to 94.0% in Colombia, using various DNA extraction techniques.
- Ten subtypes (STs) were identified, with the most common being ST3, ST1, ST2, and ST4, highlighting the need for more comprehensive studies in other countries to better understand the distribution and impact of these parasites.
