Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Clinical Management of Human Parasitic Infections—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Anthropogenic movements result in modifications of wild natural habitats, such as the destruction of forest areas, the introduction of domestic animals, and the improvising of sanitation conditions. These changes, associated with global warming, can lead to the uncontrolled proliferation and dispersion of arthropod vectors of parasitic infectious diseases, such as malaria, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis. Others parasitic diseases are associated with poor sanitation conditions, such as giardiasis, toxoplasmosis, and diseases caused by helminths and flatworms. As a result of the diversity of biomes, the investigation of eco-epidemiological and evolutionary relationships among parasites is important for the detection, prevention, and clinical management of parasitic infectious diseases.
