“…This data scarcity is the consequence of the entry into force of the 'Act of 2008 on preventing and combating infections and infectious diseases in humans'. Under this law some infections were removed from the national list of notifiable diseases [17]. Studies conducted during the European migrant crisis showed that the mass influx of migrants and refugees into European countries resulted in an increase in the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in the general population in Europe [18].…”

Background: Poland has experienced increased economic migration since 2021. Large waves of migrants, mostly from Asian and African countries, are trying to get into the European Union by crossing Poland's eastern border illegally. The influx of illegal migrants into Poland is the result of a policy adopted by the Belarusian and Russian regimes that are trying to provoke another migrant crisis in Europe. In the opinion of some Polish politicians illegal migration contributes to the spread of parasitic diseases in our country as many migrants arriving into Poland carry intestinal parasites. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of infections with intestinal parasites in the Polish Border Guard officers safeguarding Poland's eastern borders. Materials and methods: Parasitological diagnostics was carried out between April and May 2023. The study involved 218 Polish Border Guard officers from the Podlaski Border Guard Unit (PBGU) and 209 officers from the Bug Border Guard Unit (BBGU), whose task is to patrol and safeguard Poland's border with Ukraine and Belarus. Faecal examinations were performed using three different light microscopy testing methods (direct smear, decantation, flotation

Also, we have detected more cases of parasitism in the last years in Spain than previous studies in larger countries such as the USA in the same period of time [1].…”

“…Most parasitic diseases are distributed worldwide [ 33 ], and infections with various parasites “immigrating” from many parts of the world occur due to large-scale human migrations. A significant increase in the number of people traveling for professional and touristic reasons to developing countries, as well as an influx of immigrants to Poland, is likely to result in an increased prevalence of parasitic infections and a rise in disease rates in the Polish population over the next few years [ 34 ].…”

The dynamically growing incidence of food allergies forces the scientific community to develop new methods for their diagnosis, differentiation, and effective treatment. Parasitoses appear much less frequently in the scientific literature, as well as among the presumed causes of numerous conditions. The similarity of inflammatory mechanisms in allergies and parasitosis necessitates a revision of current diagnostic standards. A lack of specificity and the coincidence of symptoms at an early stage of disease can lead to misdiagnosis. In this paper, we attempted to perform a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences in symptoms for these two types of diseases. We described the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways of food allergy and parasitosis. We presented the available research methods and directions of ongoing studies aimed at implementing precise medical techniques for differential diagnosis. We discussed the allergenic properties of certain parasite proteins, using the example of myofibrillar tropomyosins from the nematode Anisakis simplex. The literature in the fields of allergology and parasitology leads to the conclusion that it is reasonable to run parallel allergological and parasitological diagnostics in patients with non-specific symptoms. This approach will facilitate accurate and early diagnosis and implementation of effective therapy.
