Parasites Circulation Between the Three Domains of One Health

Dear Colleagues,

Human activities strongly influence natural habitats. Animal farms and human settlements can affect the environment indirectly by environmental pollution and directly with encroachment into wildlife habitats. Contact between wildlife and the synanthropic habitats can transmit pathogens and can increase the health risk of humans. A shortage of resources, which must be shared by human, domestic animal, and wildlife populations, can amplify the damaging effects of different pathogens. The situation is worsened by climate change that can cause the occurrence of new pathogens or new phenotypes of old ones, and modifies the environment itself. The interface between wildlife and synanthropic habitats functions in a complex way with close interdependence of all sides, which needs a special approach. One Health provides the best methods to investigate the pathogen circulation between wildlife, domestic animals and human communities.

For this Special Issue, manuscripts on the following topics are encouraged for submission:

• Parasites of shared habitats;
• Anthelmintic resistance;
• Emerging parasites;
• Climate-sensitive parasitic infections;
• One Health approach to parasitic diseases;
• Livestock-health-related human–wildlife conflicts;
• Other aspects of the livestock–wildlife interface.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Pathogens.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Parasitologia is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
