About this Research Topic
The main aim of this Research Topic is to dissect the complex relationships between parasites and the One Health paradigm. The objective is to elucidate the implications of parasitic infections on human, animal, and environmental health, thereby identifying novel intervention strategies. By collating recent breakthroughs in understanding parasite ecology, evolution, and host interactions, the goal is to pave the way for integrated approaches to combat parasitic diseases. Addressing the gaps in knowledge surrounding parasitic infections in the One Health context will foster a holistic understanding crucial for global health management.
To gather further insights into the intricate connections between parasites and the One Health paradigm, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Emerging Parasitic Threats
• Genomic and Molecular Insights
• Ecological Drivers of Parasitic Diseases
• Social and Cultural Factors in Parasitic Control
• Technology and Surveillance
• Interventions and Management Strategies
• Education and Awareness Initiatives
We welcome interdisciplinary approaches, fostering collaborations among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders to address the complexities of parasites within the broader One Health framework.
