 Methodology: This study adopted a desktop methodology. This study used secondary data from which include review of existing literature from already published studies and reports that was easily accessed through online journals and libraries
 Findings: The study revealed that climate change has had a significant impact on animal health and disease patterns, with various negative consequences for biodiversity and ecosystems. Rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns influence the distribution and abundance of disease vectors, such as mosquitoes and ticks and alter their geographic ranges. This can result in the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue fever, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus to new areas. Additionally, climate change enhance the replication and survival rates of pathogens, potentially leading to more frequent and severe disease outbreaks.
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was anchored on One Health theory and Stressor-response theory. The study recommends Incorporation of climate change considerations into wildlife conservation and management strategies. This involves protecting and restoring habitats, creating wildlife corridors to facilitate species movement, and implementing adaptive management practices that consider the potential impacts of climate change on disease dynamics. Conservation efforts should prioritize the preservation of genetic diversity and the enhancement of resilience in animal populations.","PeriodicalId":13500,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL HEALTH","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136108069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

 Methodology: This study adopted a desktop methodology. This study used secondary data from which include review of existing literature from already published studies and reports that was easily accessed through online journals and libraries
 Findings: The study found that parasites and parasitic diseases have a significant impact on animal health and productivity across various species. Negative associations between parasitic infections and key indicators of health and productivity, such as weight gain, milk production, reproductive performance, wool quality, and egg quality. Animals with higher parasite burdens tend to experience slower growth rates, reduced fertility, compromised immune function, and increased susceptibility to other diseases. Additionally, parasitic infections can lead to poor feed conversion ratios, higher mortality rates, and decreased overall productivity in livestock and poultry farming operations
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was anchored on Resource Competition Theory which was proposed by Robert M. May in 1974 and Immunopathology Theory which was proposed by Zinkernagel and Doherty in 1974. The study recommends that Governments and regulatory bodies should develop and enforce policies that promote responsible parasite control practices in livestock production.","PeriodicalId":13500,"journal":{"name":"INDIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL HEALTH","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136107795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
