摘要

Milk, a vital dietary staple across cultures, exhibits a complex interplay of properties that extend beyond its nutritional value. This review explores the multifaceted nature of milk, highlighting its role as a potential carrier of parasitic pathogens, matrix for detecting parasitic infections, and natural methods for controlling parasitic infections. The potential presence of parasites in milk may represent a public health concern depending on factors such as animal species, regional parasite prevalence, hygienic practices, and consumption of raw or unpasteurized milk. Concurrently, the unique biochemical composition of milk offers a promising medium for innovative diagnostic techniques, enabling early detection and management of parasitic infections. Furthermore, the natural antiparasitic properties of certain milk bioactive compounds provide a sustainable approach for infection control, potentially reducing reliance on synthetic drugs and mitigating resistance issues. By integrating insights from epidemiology, molecular biology, and food science, this review underscores the dual challenge, and opportunity milk presents in parasitology, advocating for a balanced perspective in harnessing its full potential.
