Systematic analysis highlights increased biohelminthiases risks due to climate change and dietary shifts.
The article provides a systematic analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of foodborne biohelminthiases in the context of globalization. Using the life cycle of Opisthorchis spp. as an example, the key role of ecological interconnections in the "human-animal-environment" system in maintaining parasitic infestations is demonstrated. It has been revealed that traditional transmission mechanisms retain their significance, but their epidemiological potential is amplified by three interrelated factors: the transformation of dietary practices, the growth of gastronomic tourism, and climate change. The obtained results emphasize the need to adapt preventive strategies to the changing conditions of parasite circulation, which requires an interdisciplinary approach combining epidemiological monitoring, ecological research, and analysis of food behavior trends.
