Background: Diarrhoeal diseases claim more than 1 million lives annually and are a leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years. Comprehensive global estimates of the diarrhoeal disease burden for specific age groups of children younger than 5 years are scarce, and the burden in children older than 5 years and in adults is also understudied. We used results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021 to assess the burden of, and trends in, diarrhoeal diseases overall and attributable to 13 pathogens, as well as the contributions of associated risk factors, in children and adults in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021.

Controlling drinking water treatment processes is essential to address water contamination and the adaptability of certain pathogenic protozoa. Sometimes, standard treatment methods and chlorine disinfection may prove insufficient in eliminating pathogenic protozoa. However, ultraviolet (UV) radiation has proved to be more effective than chlorine.

Article Synopsis
- Cryptosporidium parvum is a parasitic pathogen causing diarrheal illness in humans and animals globally, and an outbreak related to this pathogen was investigated in raccoons and rehabilitation workers in Virginia.
- In the outbreak, 15 of 49 facility staff showed symptoms, with four confirmed cases; several juvenile raccoons also exhibited diarrhea, and six were confirmed to have the same infection.
- The same molecular subtype of the parasite was found in both human and raccoon cases, indicating possible zoonotic transmission, highlighting raccoons as a potential reservoir for human infections of C. parvum.

Zoonotic parasites are a major public health problem globally, representing a hazard to human health. The infections occur through contact with different parasite forms. Public squares are a common meeting place for people and dogs, becoming a risk area for transmission to other dogs and humans.
