Research suggests that the vast majority of parasite species face high extinction rates due to climate change and the loss of their hosts. While parasites are often undervalued, they represent a significant portion of ecosystem biomass and play a critical regulatory role similar to predators. Scientists warn that the loss of these stabilizing organisms could lead to unpredictable outbreaks of wildlife and human diseases.
