Morphometric and molecular identification of Hymenolepis diminuta in domestic rats (Rattus rattus) from urban slums in Northeastern Bangladesh: Implications for zoonotic transmission
Limited data on Hymenolepis species in Bangladesh present a significant gap in understanding their epidemiology and zoonotic potential. This study aimed to detect the presence of Hymenolepis diminuta in domestic rats from urban slums in Sylhet, Bangladesh, and to assess associated public health risks.
