Opis

The problems derived from parasitic pathologies within the livestock population are of great importance from the medical and economic points of view. In animal production, changes can occur at the level of the primary centers of food production, which directly influences the appearance of infectious agents. In addition, the intensification of production systems favors the presence of enteric pathogens of special importance in Public Health. In this sense, climate change modifies the incidence and distribution of multiple pathologies, broadening the range of hosts and the severity of diseases due to the increase in the development capacity and transmission rate of the agent, with special repercussions on processes transmitted by fomites and live vectors or intermediate hosts. The phenomenon of emergence in several pathologies, some of them zoonoses, is related to the geographical situation, with outbreaks in recent decades of which more than 3% have been due to parasitic helminths. Consequently, the study of zoonoses should be approached with the utmost sanitary rigor.
