Because parasites aren’t bacteria or viruses?
They can be, or they can be the hosts for parasites of their own.
But while schistosomiasis and other diseases caused by helminths mostly affect people in poorer countries, from a livestock standpoint, helminths harm the livelihoods of people in richer countries as well – creating more of a market incentive.
I hadn’t even thought of that! Hopefully that can help motivate more research.
