The Complexity of Parasites in Animals: Impacts, Innovation, and Interventions

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The complexity of animal parasites presents a significant challenge across various ecosystems regarding the health, productivity, and biodiversity of wildlife, livestock, and companion animals. This Topic seeks to explore the multifaceted impact of parasites on the exploration of innovative approaches to monitoring, intervention, and control. Other important topics include emerging new parasites, environmental issues related to climatic change, changes in the dynamics of the relationship between parasites and their host, and genomics developments that further enhance our understanding of parasitic organisms. It will also consider the impact of domestic and agricultural practices on parasites, trends in resistance to antimicrobial treatment, and the development of novel therapeutics and vaccines. Furthermore, the emphasis will be on a One Health perspective in which human, animal, and environmental health issues are considered to be interdependent in order to meet these global challenges. Specifically, this Topic intends to include original research and reviews that provide an overview of the field and management/strategies for the control of animal parasites.
