What is the Role of Surveillance in Managing Protozoan Parasites?

Surveillance is crucial for understanding the epidemiology of protozoan diseases. It involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting health data to monitor and predict disease trends. Effective surveillance can identify outbreaks early, enabling rapid response and intervention. This is particularly important in regions where protozoan diseases are endemic. Surveillance also helps in evaluating the effectiveness of control measures and guiding public health policies.
