Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine deep learning interaction with human intellect emerged in the medical
field. Application of AI may serve the field of Parasitology in clinical diagnosis, higher education institutes,
and in Parasitology research. The anticipated implementation of AI includes: 1) the serving of large-scale
populations in the diagnostic labs, 2) the capabilities to exploit huge data in no time, 3) the performance
of autonomous calibration and experimentation, and 4) dealing with unsafe experimental tasks. Yet, fears
appeared concerning the possible substitution of human abilities, the susceptibility to cyber threats, and
the lack of wisdom and experience to execute decisions. Therefore, AI is determined to assist not replace
Parasitologists in their profession. The present report aims to overview AI relevance in the field of Medical
Parasitology.
