Parasite transmission refers to the process by which parasites are transferred from one host to another. This can occur through a variety of means, including through direct contact between hosts, through ingestion of contaminated food or water, or through vectors such as mosquitoes or ticks. Understanding how parasites are transmitted is crucial for controlling and preventing the spread of parasitic infections in both humans and animals. Research in this area may focus on identifying the specific mechanisms of transmission for different types of parasites, as well as developing strategies for interrupting transmission and reducing the burden of parasitic diseases.
