Global climate change significantly impacts helminth diseases, affecting health and welfare of people and animals. However, investigation on impact of climate change on helminth diseases is still in its infancy. Unknowns remain regarding the biology of infections and parasites as well as their reactions to shifting climatic conditions. Future research should focus on reducing sampling effort and increasing bio-monitoring data. Further research is needed to identify critical regions and apply effective control measures for preserving production in the face of climate problems. Long-term parasitological surveys with improved methodology, rigorous sample design, and modeling processes are necessary to track long-term changes in global climate and clarify the effects of climate change on helminth parasite community structure. This book will be very useful for scientists working on parasitic diseases, medical professionals and field veterinarians for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the parasitic diseases of zoonotic importance.
