Automated Diagnostics: Advances in the Diagnosis of Intestinal Parasitic Infections in Humans and Animals

The increasingly close proximity between people and animals is of great concern for public health, given the risk of exposure to infectious diseases transmitted through animals, which are carriers of more than 60 zoonotic agents. These diseases, which are included in the list of Neglected Tropical D...
