Abstract in brief

Parasites are closely linked to their hosts, offering valuable information about host behavior, health, and environment, which can aid in animal conservation efforts.
Studying parasite infections helps distinguish different host populations and assess environmental quality, making parasites useful as indicators in conservation research.
Researchers are exploring innovative ways to use parasites, such as analyzing their prevalence and genetics, to understand and manage major threats like habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change impacting animal populations.]
