Area of Science:

  • Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Intestinal trematodes are prevalent parasitic worms infecting humans, with 76 species documented across 14 families.
  • Infection typically results from consuming raw or undercooked foods containing infective metacercariae.
  • Parasite diversity in morphology, distribution, and life cycles complicates disease study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of human intestinal trematodes.
  • To detail their biology, epidemiology, host-parasite interactions, pathogenicity, and clinical features.
  • To outline current diagnostic, treatment, and control strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing data on human intestinal trematodes.
  • Analysis of factors influencing geographical spread and population risk.
  • Compilation of information on parasite characteristics and disease management.

Main Results:

  • Intestinal trematode infections are expanding globally due to international trade, travel, and changing dietary habits.
  • Understanding these parasites is crucial given their evolving epidemiological patterns.
  • Key aspects covered include parasite biology, disease impact, and control measures.

Conclusions:

  • Human intestinal trematodes pose a growing public health concern due to their adaptability and expanding reach.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of their biology and epidemiology is essential for effective control.
  • Integrated strategies are needed to manage and prevent these infections worldwide.
