The Changing Face of Helminth Infections: A 15-Year Temporal Analysis from Eastern Saudi Arabia
This study reveals distinct epidemiological patterns of helminth infections in Eastern Saudi Arabia, characterized by predominance among non-Saudi nationals, winter seasonality, and declining trends over the study period. These findings highlight the need for targeted screening among expatriate populations and season-specific preventive strategies in non-endemic settings with substantial migrant populations.
