Abstract:
Migration is one of the core biological characteristics of migratory birds. The nutrient, energy, and biological flows triggered during this process can facilitate the cross-regional spread of parasites and induce changes in their community structures. This article systematically reviews the interaction between migratory birds and parasites, including the prevalence characteristics of parasites in migratory birds, the vector role of migratory birds in parasite transmission, and the potential impact of parasites on hosts, ecosystems, and humans, in order to provide theoretical support for biodiversity conservation and prevention and control of zoonosis.
