Parasitic Emerging Infectious Diseases

Parasitic emerging infectious diseases are illnesses caused by parasites that have recently increased in frequency or spread to new areas. Parasites are organisms that live on or in a host and feed on it, often causing harm. As human activities, climate change, and global travel facilitate interactions between humans and wildlife, new parasitic infections can emerge. These diseases can affect anyone and may lead to serious health issues. Understanding and monitoring these diseases is crucial for protecting public health and preventing outbreaks.
