Parasitic diseases of humans and livestock are ubiquitous in the developing world and have substantial impacts on human wellbeing. For the estimated one billion people living in poverty who rely on livestock for their livelihoods, parasites steal valuable nutritional resources through multiple pathways. This diversion of nutrients ultimately contributes to chronic malnutrition, greater human disease burdens, and decreased productivity of both humans and livestock.
在发展中世界，人类和牲畜的寄生虫病普遍存在，对人类福祉产生重大影响。对于估计10亿依靠牲畜为生的贫困人口而言，寄生虫通过多种途径窃取宝贵的营养资源。这种营养物质的转移最终导致慢性营养不良、人类疾病负担加重以及人类和牲畜的生产力下降。
