Emerging methods in noninvasive parasite surveillance in wildlife disease ecology

Mosquitoes can be used for both pathogen surveillance and blood meal analysis, providing insights into pathogen circulation and host-feeding patterns. Digital epidemiology tools, such as Google Trends, can provide insights into emerging patterns of parasitic diseases by analysing human online search behaviour (Google Trends).
