Prevalence of Cryptosporidium in La Trinidad, Benguet, Philippines: a One Health approach
The high burden of <i>Cryptosporidium</i> in livestock presents significant risks for zoonotic transmission and reflects major shortcomings in biosecurity and sanitation. In contrast, the low human prevalence of COVID-19 suggests that enhancing hygiene practices combined with social restraint may help control infectious events. Further research is required to confirm this relationship. These results highlight the need for targeted public health interventions to reduce transmission risks.
