Description
Jurairat Jongthawin and co-authors pool the world's studies on human sarcocystosis, an overlooked infection from a family of parasites. Their 2026 review and meta-analysis follows standard reporting rules and searches six sources. Cases and outbreaks surface worldwide, yet no one had added up the global burden of this food- and water-linked disease.
Only studies since 2000 that confirmed infection by microscope or gene tests were counted. A random-effects model produced the pooled share of people infected, and the team checked how much studies disagreed with each other. The map of where infections cluster is as much the point as the headline number, guiding where testing should grow.
