Gastrointestinal Infections
Gastrointestinal infections commonly affect the stomach and intestines and are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. They spread primarily through contaminated food, water, or poor hygiene practices. These infections can lead to dehydration, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort, making them a significant public health concern, especially in low-resource areas.
Advances in sanitation, rapid diagnostic tools, and community education programs are essential in reducing disease transmission. Continuous research focuses on understanding pathogen behavior, improving vaccine development, and enhancing food safety systems to prevent widespread outbreaks and protect vulnerable populations.
