Abstrakt: This article explores the impact of contaminated freshwater on the spread of tropical diseases in Europe, with a focus on the effects of pollutants on the development and transmission of parasites, particularly Schistosoma spp. The authors discuss the role of pesticides, antibiotics, heavy metals, landfills, and microplastics in promoting or disrupting the host-parasite relationship. They emphasize the need for further research and policy adjustments to minimize these threats and develop better disease control strategies. The article also includes a list of references covering various topics related to environmental health, parasitology, and climate change. [Extracted from the article]
