5 economic importance of parasites

Gender differences in behavioural changes induced by latent toxoplasmosis. (2012): Classification of people as lean or obese can be made solely on the basis of their gut microbiota with 90% accuracy, and the causal effect can be discussed: mice that were raised germ-free and then colonized with the microbiota from an obese mouse gained fat more rapidly than those colonized with the microbiota of a lean mouse. The article introduced several recommendations on how economic research of judgment and decision-making could use the knowledge of influence of parasites, microbiota and chemosignals on human behavior.

Economic Losses Caused by Foodborne Parasitic Diseases From an ecological perspective, they are more like tiny, hidden architects that are overlooked by most people.
