    Area of Science:

    • Environmental microbiology
    • Parasitology
    • Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Prevalence of parasitic infections in the Gard region was investigated.
    • Seasonal, age, and sex demographics influenced parasite distribution.
    • Environmental factors affecting parasite viability were assessed.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the prevalence and distribution of a specific parasite in the Gard region.
    • To determine the excystation rate of the parasite under laboratory conditions.
    • To evaluate the resistance of parasite cysts to varying environmental temperatures and conditions.

    Summary:

    • Prevalence data revealed fluctuations linked to seasons, age, and sex.
    • An excystation method was established, yielding specific observation rates.
    • Cyst resistance studies demonstrated survival across a range of temperatures in dry, fresh, and seawater conditions.

    Impact:

    • Findings provide crucial data for understanding parasite transmission dynamics.
    • The study informs potential public health interventions and risk assessments.
    • Environmental resistance data aids in predicting parasite survival and spread.
