Article Synopsis
- * Parasitological tests conducted on 50 wild animal carcasses from the Atwemonom Bushmeat Market found a high prevalence (71.0%) of enteric helminth parasites, with molecular analysis revealing more parasites than traditional methods.
- * Two specific zoonotic parasites were identified, indicating that wild animals not only host these parasites but may also act as reservoirs, emphasizing the need for a coordinated "One Health" approach to manage wildlife-related parasitic infections.
