Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a leap in modern life. Medicine is one of the most benefited scientific fields from
AI. Infectious diseases, including parasitic infections, are increasing despite modern life cautious patterns.
Strategies implemented and planned for AI in developing countries can simplify decisions in parasitic medical
issues such as predicting epidemic foci, easy diagnosis and understanding the mechanisms of parasitic
diseases. Besides, by the help of pre-exiting datasets, AI is prospering in the field of understanding drug
resistance, drug targets detection, design of new drugs, and teaching Medical Parasitology as well. The aim of
the present editorial is to enlighten the reader with different applications of AI in parasitology and the scope
of possible future perspectives.
