“…Extreme heavy rains may also lead to the inundation of pastures with manure, industrial waste waters or raw sewage water. Thus, pig and beef farms not only constitute a potential source of human infections but extensively raised beef themselves risk of getting infected/contaminated when feeding on pastures polluted with microbial or chemical agents, protozoan parasite cysts or even with Taenia saginata eggs in case of inundation with sewage water of human origin (Crist et al (2020).…”

Parasites and parasitologists have always lived together in good and bad luck in a sort of forced marriage. In recent times bad luck certainly prevailed, because of increasing man-made emergencies such as wars, chemical disasters, but also because of natural disasters, amplified by climate change, that condition more and more parasite–host equilibrium. The symposium at the National Congress of the Italian Society for Parasitology, was a first occasion for Italian parasitologists to reason about ‘disaster parasitology’ and researchers’ responsibilities. Extreme weather events and their impacts on parasites’ epidemiology are illustrated, comparing disasters that recently occurred in Italy with literature data. In particular, the Sardinian Island was hit subsequently by fires and floods exacerbating the effects on ecosystems and parasite–host-relationships. Examples of Cryptosporidium outbreaks in man and Fasciola hepatica infections in various hosts after heavy rains are reviewed and effects of droughts on pasture borne parasites, such as gastro-intestinal nematodes of ruminants are discussed. Heavy rains may also cause dissemination of toxic substances released accidentally from chemical plants as happened e.g. in Milan province (IT) after the dioxin hazard. The overlapping effects of strictly man-made disasters with climate change dependent extreme weather events is further challenging the understanding of what are the consequences of disasters on ecosystems and parasite epidemiology. GIS applications combined with AI programs may help to face the complex challenges, allowing the collection and analysis of spatial/temporal data at whatever level desired. Examples illustrated in the article suggest their employment also in a more systematic, prevention-oriented manner.

“…Those consequences indirectly affect food security, for instance, heatwaves, which greatly affect crops, diminishing yields by up to 16% as a consequence of the European heatwave in 2022 [2]. On the other hand, floods lead to serious damage to crops and affect livestock production [3]. Among other things, climate change contributes to the extinction of marine mammals due to warming temperatures, which causes disturbances in the fishing industry [4].…”

Global climate change, induced by anthropogenic causes, has severe consequences for Earth and its inhabitants. With the consequences already visible around the globe, one of them is the impact on food security. The lack of food security has serious impacts on health, especially in vulnerable populations who highly depend on a nutritious diet for a healthy life. The following research aims to assess the current research status of climate change, food security and health. In this context, the interlinkage of the three key concepts is analyzed, as well as the related health consequences. To achieve the aims of this research, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, (version 1.6.16) including 453 papers. The data were retrieved from the Scopus database on 10 November 2022. Bibliometric analysis can illustrate emerging and key topic areas using keywords and co-occurrence analysis; hence, it is an adequate method to meet the listed research aims. Five different clusters have been derived from the analysis, each representing a different perspective on interlinkage. From the different clusters, the main consequences of climate change on food security could be derived, such as a decrease in crop yields, less availability of fish and livestock, or food contamination through mycotoxins. These can cause serious health implications, predominantly increasing the rate of malnutrition globally. The work showed the importance of action to prevent the consequences of climate change in relation to food security and health nexus. To do so, adaptation strategies are needed that consider the interdisciplinary scope of the problem, building sustainable measures that benefit each concept.

Sustainability of livestock systems encompasses social, economic, and environmental concerns. Environmental sustainability issues surrounding livestock production include greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, and water quality. Mitigating negative environmental contributions and enhancing positive contributions from livestock production is critical for the long-term viability of the industry. While livestock production can impact the environment, livestock can in turn be affected by environmental conditions. Climate change poses unique challenges for livestock production in the future via impacts on feed availability, quality, and potential for increased thermal stress on livestock themselves. In aggregate, livestock production must adapt to both societal expectations and climatic conditions in the future, which will require both technical solutions and viable socioeconomic drivers to encourage implementation of solutions.
