Have farmers inadvertently promoted the distribution, and limited the diversity, of animal parasites? Abundant and broadly distributed livestock hosts evidently harbor exceptionally uniform populations of Trichinella, Taenia, Toxoplasma and Sarcocystis, indicating a fruitful avenue for future research on how we have influenced parasite evolutionary ecology.
农民是否无意中促进了动物寄生虫的传播并限制了其多样性？数量众多且分布广泛的家畜宿主显然携带着极为单一的旋毛虫、绦虫、弓形虫和肉孢子虫种群，这为我们如何影响寄生虫进化生态学的未来研究指明了一条富有成果的途径。
