Global burden of cystic echinococcosis: a 32-year analysis of 204 countries with 2036 projections.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cystic echinococcosis (CE), a neglected zoonotic disease, remains a significant public health challenge in low- and middle-income regions. This study systematically evaluates the global, regional, and national burden of CE from 1990 to 2021 and projects trends to 2036 using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

Methods

We analyzed age-standardized prevalence (ASPR), incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (ASDR) across 204 countries, stratified by Socio-demographic Index (SDI). Decomposition analysis assessed contributions of population aging, growth, and epidemiological changes. An autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model projected future disease burden.

Results

Globally, ASPR increased slightly fro
