寄生虫是人类、牲畜、农作物和野生动物疾病的媒介，是其引起疾病的生态和历史背景的有力代表。认识到专业机会和全球公共需求之间的联系，我们于 2012 年 9 月聚集在内布拉斯加大学雪松角生物站，建立了一个广泛的合作平台，提供有关跨宿主群体、寄生虫群体、地理区域和生态系统类型的寄生虫进化、生态和流行病学的基本信息。一项通用协议，即文件评估监测行动（DAMA），提出了一项综合提案，旨在建立主动能力，以了解、预测和应对加速环境变化的结果。在环境扰动不断扩大的时期，我们寻求在寄生虫学界以及更广泛的动物学家和疾病生态学家之间促进讨论并动员行动。
Parasites are agents of disease in humans, livestock, crops, and wildlife and are powerful representations of the ecological and historical context of the diseases they cause. Recognizing a nexus of professional opportunities and global public need, we gathered at the Cedar Point Biological Station of the University of Nebraska in September 2012 to formulate a cooperative and broad platform for providing essential information about the evolution, ecology, and epidemiology of parasites across host groups, parasite groups, geographical regions, and ecosystem types. A general protocol, documentation assessment monitoring action (DAMA), suggests an integrated proposal to build a proactive capacity to understand, anticipate, and respond to the outcomes of accelerating environmental change. We seek to catalyze discussion and mobilize action within the parasitological community and, more widely, among zoologists and disease ecologists at a time of expanding environmental perturbation.
