Parasitic infections are a group of infectious diseases that are mainly caused by helminths and protozoa. Recently, emerging diagnostic techniques have been developed to not only elevate the chance of parasite detection but also increase the accurate diagnosis. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) techn...
