EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF ENTEROBIASIS PREVALENCE IN KARAKALPAKSTAN AND DEVELOPMENT OF PRIORITY PREVENTION STRATEGIES.
Keywords:
parasitic infestation, enterobiasis, epidemiology, Karakalpakstan, children, sanitation and hygiene, prevention, infection control.Abstract
This article analyzes the patterns of enterobiasis distribution on a global scale, with a specific focus on the Republic of Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan). The etiology of the disease, transmission routes, and key epidemiological factors are examined. Observations conducted in Karakalpakstan indicate a relatively high incidence rate among children. The findings suggest that the elevated infection rate is associated with poor sanitary and hygienic conditions, as well as limited access to healthcare services. The article offers practical value for the development of preventive measures against this infection.
