Tracing zoonotic parasite infections throughout human evolution

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Parasites are useful pathogens to explore human–animal interactions because they have diverse life cycles that often rely on both as hosts. Moreover, some species are not host specific and are transmitted between animals and humans. Today most emerging infections are zoonoses.
