This research is directly relevant, as it investigates the epidemiology of the Contracaecum parasite that infects both fish and humans. Humans can contract this parasite through the consumption of infected fish. Additionally, the study identified a new species of this parasite, documented through molecular analysis of the COX2 gene in fish from Lake Razzaza in Karbala Governorate.
