Answer:
Parasite infestations lead to economic loss
Explanation:
Parasites are organisms that live on or in another organism called the 'host', obtaining their food or some other benefit (e.g., a suitable habitat/environment) from this host. Most parasites are known to affect their hosts by invading their organ systems, thereby producing parasitic infestations. In livestock, parasitic infestations can produce substantial losses of productivity. Some of the most important factors associated with parasitic infestations include, among others, poor hygienic conditions, contaminated water, unmanaged livestock waste, etc.
