Abstract: (708 Views)
Waterborne zoonotic helminthiases transmitted via copepods represent a significant public health concern, particularly in regions with inadequate water sanitation. This review synthesizes current knowledge on major diseases such as gnathostomiasis, sparganosis, and dracunculiasis, with a focus on their zoonotic potential, infection mechanisms, and the influence of environmental factors. It critically evaluates the strengths and limitations of existing research, highlights region-specific considerations relevant to Iran, and explores recent advancements in diagnostic methods and the identification of emerging pathogens. The review also offers recommendations for future research and improvements in preventive strategies. Emphasis is placed on the importance of surveillance, public education, and the development of effective treatment protocols.
