Abstract
These findings highlight the relevance of a One Health approach, as dogs may serve as reservoirs for both parasites, potentially increasing the risk of human transmission. Integrated control measures - including vector management and ongoing surveillance - are essential to reduce transmission and protect public health. Future research should prioritise mapping infection patterns and exploring ecological factors influencing disease dynamics.
