Epidemiological Study and Time Series Modeling of Waterborne and Foodborne Disease Outbreaks in Northwestern Iran: 2016-2023
Water- and foodborne diseases pose a significant threat due to their rapid spread, with incidence rates increasing from 5.25 per 100,000 (2016) to 9.51 per 100,000 (2023). Fruits, juices, meat, and drinking water were primary contamination sources. Public education on food handling and safe water access are crucial for reducing disease transmission.
