COVID-19 pandemic linked to shift in intestinal parasite rates in India
Original: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Intestinal Parasitic Infection Positivity Rates Among Clinically Suspected Patients at a Tertiary Centre in Northern India: A Four-Year Retrospective Analysis
A four-year retrospective study from a tertiary care centre in northern India examined how the COVID-19 pandemic affected intestinal parasitic infection positivity rates among clinically suspected patients. Published in Cureus, the analysis compared infection detection before, during and after the pandemic, offering rare data on how lockdowns and altered healthcare access changed parasitic disease patterns in the region.
Why now: Newly published research examining how the pandemic changed parasitic infection patterns in India.
