However, the conceptualized edited book dedicated to under graduate medical students post graduate bioscience students and research scholars for the applicability during their dissertation or pre-doctoral programs related to integrated approaches of all the aforesaid areas lacking so far. Therefore, the scarcity of books focused on the integrated aspects of Parasitic, helminthes and zoonotic diseases of different origins in global perspectives impelled me to produce this work in the form a book.
