Abstract

Parasitic diseases persist as a formidable public health challenge, disproportionately affecting populations in regions characterized by inadequate access to sanitation and healthcare infrastructure. In these areas, the prevalence of parasitic infections is often exacerbated by factors such as poor hygiene, limited healthcare resources, and socioeconomic disparities. Among the myriad parasitic infections, malaria and soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) stand out as major contributors to the burden of disease, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions.
